SECTION 4
HYSTER-CARE MAINTENANCE
prevent freezing of water and the resulting damage to
components. A drain hole is provided in the tank bottom
left corner to drain the tank. Be sure to open the pump
drain cock (see figure 4-25). The suction shutoff valve
should be open when draining the pump so all the water
from the suction side is removed. Water in the pressure
side of the system should be blown out with compressed
air.
4-82. PARKING BRAKE (see figure 4-26).
4-83. LUBRICATION.
4-84. The parking brake lever assembly should be lubed
after each 100 hours of operation or every two weeks.
This will prevent the adjusting threads from rusting.
4-85. ADJUSTING.
4-86. The parking brake lever should be adjusted
sufficiently to require at least 80 pounds (36.3 kg) to pull
it into the brake applied position. Twist the end of the
brake lever clockwise (lever in brake off position) to
increase force required to apply the brake.
