Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a point set in fork lift applications?
A: A point set (part 190) refers to contact points used in electrical ignition or control systems on fork lift equipment. These are precision components that regulate spark timing or circuit switching.
Q: Which fork lift brands and models use part 190?
A: Point set 190 is compatible with specific fork lift models from manufacturers such as Clark, Yale, Hyster, Toyota, and CAT. Verify your equipment model and serial range before ordering to confirm fitment.
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing point set?
A: Point set failure may result in rough idling, difficulty starting, stalling under load, or spark timing issues. If your lift truck is not firing correctly or shutting down unexpectedly, the point set may require replacement.
Q: How long does a point set typically last?
A: Point set lifespan depends on operating hours and maintenance. Regular inspection is recommended during tune-ups. Replace if contacts show excessive wear, pitting, or corrosion, or per the OEM service schedule for your equipment.
Q: Is part 190 a wear item that needs routine replacement?
A: Yes, point sets are consumable wear items. They degrade over time as electrical contacts arc and pit. Most OEM maintenance schedules recommend inspection or replacement at set intervals or when electrical performance issues arise.
