INTRODUCTION
This section contains the description and repair
procedures for the steering system. Components
covered are the steering wheel and column assembly,
steering control unit, and steering actuator. Some
parts associated with the steering system are not
covered in this section because they are more closely
associated with other systems. See the following for
information not included in this section:
See Electrical System 2200YRM1337 section for
information on wiring and power supply for hydraulic
pump and motor assembly.
See Hydraulic System 1900YRM1333 section for
information on hydraulic tank and system.
See Periodic Maintenance 8000YRM1339 manual
for information on regular schedule maintenance.
Throughout this section, forward will refer to travel in
the direction of the forks and left and right determined
by an operator sitting in the seat facing forward. See

DISCHARGING THE CAPACITORS
WARNING
DO NOT make repairs or adjustments unless you
have been properly trained and authorized to do
so. Improper repairs and adjustments can create
dangerous operating conditions. DO NOT operate
a lift truck that needs repairs. Report the need for
repairs to your supervisor immediately. If repair is
necessary, attach a DO NOT OPERATE tag on the
steering wheel and disconnect the battery.
Disconnect the battery and allow the capacitors to
discharge before opening an compartment covers
or inspecting or repairing the electrical system.
DO NOT place tool on top of the battery. If a tool
causes a short circuit, the high current flow from
the battery can cause personal injury and
property damage.
Some checks and adjustments are performed with
the battery connected. DO NOT connect the
battery until the procedure instructs you to do so.
Never wear any metallic items on your fingers,
arms, or neck. Metal items can accidentally make
an electrical connection and cause injury
Before performing any tests or adjustment, block
the lift truck to prevent unexpected movement.
The capacitor in the transistor controller(s) can
hold an electrical charge for about 10 seconds
after the battery is disconnected. To prevent an
electrical shock and personal injury, discharge
the capacitor(s) before inspecting or repairing any
component in the drive unit compartment. Make
certain that the battery has been disconnected.
DO NOT short across the motor controller
terminals with a screwdriver or jumper wire.
Make certain the Emergency-Stop switch has not
been activated. This will isolate the controller and
prevent the capacitors from discharging properly.
The proper way to disconnect the battery is by
separating the battery connectors.
