The Hyster Company confirms that the microprocessors used in Hyster
Company manufactured products, including warehouse equipment, do not
contain any date related information. As a result, they will remain unaffected
by the date change when we reach the next Millennium.
The microprocessors used in all Hyster manufactured products contain only
internal information, such as status codes used by the diagnostic system and
hour meter readings that provide information on the  number of hours usage
of the components.
In this respect, Hyster Company manufactured products are considered to be
Year 2000 Compliant.
Please ensure that this Gram reaches the people in your organization who
are likely to be affected by this information.
We reserve the right to make changes in design or add improvements without incurring the obligation to make such changes in equipment
previously manufactured.
