SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

• When lifting parts or assemblies, make sure all slings, chains, or cables are correctly

fastened, and that the load being lifted is balanced. Make sure the crane, cables, and
chains have the capacity to support the weight of the load.

• Do not lift heavy parts by hand, use a lifting mechanism.

• Wear safety glasses.

• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair

on electric lift trucks. Disconnect the battery ground cable on internal combustion lift
trucks.

• Always use correct blocks to prevent the unit from rolling or falling. See HOW TO PUT

THE LIFT TRUCK ON BLOCKS in the Operating Manual or the Periodic Mainte-
nance section.

• Keep the unit clean and the working area clean and orderly.

• Use the correct tools for the job.

• Keep the tools clean and in good condition.

• Always use HYSTER APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts

must meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment manufacturer.

• Make sure all nuts, bolts, snap rings, and other fastening devices are removed before

using force to remove parts.

• Always fasten a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the controls of the unit when making repairs,

or if the unit needs repairs.

• Be sure to follow the WARNING and CAUTION notes in the instructions.

• Gasoline, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Diesel fuel

are flammable. Be sure to follow the necessary safety precautions when handling these
fuels and when working on these fuel systems.

General

This section has the description and repair proce-
dures for the steering axle. See the following sections
for additional information on the parts of the steering
system: Steering Control Unit, Hydraulic Sys-
tem and Gear Pumps, Hydraulic System, and
Steering System.

The steering axle assembly includes an axle frame,
steering cylinder, and two spindle and hub assem-
blies. See Figure 1. The steering axle is articulated
and is connected to the frame by center pivot mounts.

The center pivot mounts permit the steering axle to
move in the frame mount when the lift truck travels
over rough surfaces.

The end caps of the steering cylinder are also the
mounts for the cylinder and are held to the shell by
the mount capscrews. There are O-rings, seals, and
wipers in the end caps to seal the caps to the shell
and rod. The ends of the piston rod extend from both
ends of the cylinder. A single piston and the seal are
at the center of the rod. Oil pressure on one side of
the piston moves the piston in the bore. The piston
pushes an equal amount of oil from the opposite side
of the cylinder.

When the piston reaches the end of the stroke, a re-
lief valve in the steering circuit controls the oil pres-
sure. The tie rods that connect the spindle arms to
the cylinder are not adjustable.

Each spindle turns on two tapered roller bearings in
mounts in the axle frame. The preload on the bear-
ings is controlled by shims at the lower bearing cap.

The wheels rotate on two tapered roller bearings and
are held on the spindles by a castle nut. The bearing
preload of the wheels is adjusted by the castle nut.
The grease seals protect the bearings from dirt and
water. Wear sleeves protect the hub from wear by the
seals.

WARNING

PUTTING THE LIFT TRUCK ON BLOCKS

The lift truck must be put on blocks for some
types of maintenance and repair. The removal
of the mast, drive axle, battery, or counter-
weight assemblies will cause large changes
in the center of gravity. When the lift truck
is put on blocks, put additional blocks in the
following positions:
• If the mast and drive axle are removed, put

blocks under the counterweight so the lift
truck cannot fall backward.

• If the counterweight is removed, put blocks

under the mast so that the lift truck cannot
fall forward.

Put the lift truck on blocks on a solid, even, and
level surface. Verify the blocks or stands have
enough capacity to hold the lift truck. Use ad-
ditional blocks next to the tires as necessary to
prevent movement of the lift truck. Verify the
lifting devices used during repairs can lift the
weight of the parts and assemblies.

See the Operating Manual or Periodic Mainte-
nance section for your lift truck model, for the
procedures to put the lift truck on blocks.

The steering axle can be removed without removing
the counterweight.

Verify wheels are set for straight travel. Put lift
truck on stands so the steering axle will have
enough clearance to be removed. The top of the
axle frame must have clearance under the bot-
tom of the frame at the rear of the lift truck.

Disconnect hydraulic lines at steering cylinder.
Install plug fittings in cylinder and put caps on
hydraulic lines. Plug fittings will prevent spin-
dles from turning as axle is removed from under
the lift truck.

Slide floor jack or forks of another lift truck under
steering axle. Raise lifting device until it holds
the weight of the axle assembly. Remove four
capscrews and nuts that fasten two brackets un-
der rubber mounts. Remove brackets and slowly
lower axle assembly onto wheels. Carefully roll
axle assembly away from lift truck.

DISASSEMBLE

Put axle on blocks so the wheels just touch the
floor. Remove grease cap. Remove cotter pin,
washer, and castle nut. Remove bearing cone.

NOTE: Identify the outer and inner bearing cones so
they can be reassembled in their original locations.
