h Hydraulics See Hydraulic Control System 1900 SRM 1534.
hCold Hydraulics Hydraulic oil temperature in the reservoir is below −5 °C (23 °F). All hydraulic
functions can be operated normally, but the controller limits engine speed pro-
portional to the hydraulic oil temperature. At −20 °C (−4 °F), the engine speed is
limited to 1000 rpm. Above −5 °C (23 °F), the controller does not limit engine
speed. Limitation of the engine speed reduces maximum hydraulic performance.
Apply hydraulic functions to raise hydraulic oil temperatures.

Inching requires coordinated movement of the inching/

practice this procedure before attempting to handle
loads.
The ReachStacker has a brake pedal and a inching/brake
pedal. The brake pedal (middle pedal) applies only the
brakes. Slightly pushing the inching/brake pedal (left-hand
pedal) will apply the service brakes and, further pushing the
pedal, will fully disengage the transmission.

When air is added to the tires, use a remote air chuck.
The person adding air must stand to the side of the
safety cage and not in front of it.
Keep the tires at the correct air pressure. See the Nameplate. 1. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

Hydraulic Tank Breathers


NOTE: Never remove the safety stand pipe to avoid dirt from

NOTE: Correct maintenance is very important to avoid
unnecessary dirt from entering the hydraulic system. The dirt
will not be filtered by the return line filters and may directly
enter the gear pumps.
There are two hydraulic tank breathers placed on the
hydraulic tank. Only one hydraulic tank breather is equipped
with an indicator. When replacement of the filter is necessary
always replace filters for both hydraulic tank breathers.
NOTE: First press the yellow button on the indicator to
release pressure to replace the filter.
Remove the cap from the hydraulic tank breather. Remove
the filter and clean the inside of the hydraulic tank breather
with solvent. Install the new filter and cap.
