Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What function does the master cylinder 220071855 perform?
A: The 220071855 master cylinder is the primary hydraulic pressure source in lift truck brake systems. It converts mechanical pedal force into hydraulic pressure to actuate the brake calipers and stop the vehicle.
Q: Which forklift brands use the 220071855 master cylinder?
A: The 220071855 is compatible with electric and internal combustion forklifts from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Mitsubishi, CAT, Linde, and similar brands. Confirm bore diameter and mounting configuration match your equipment.
Q: What symptoms indicate a master cylinder 220071855 needs replacement?
A: Signs of master cylinder failure include soft or spongy brake pedal feel, brake fluid leaking from the cylinder body, reduced braking power, or fluid level dropping rapidly in the reservoir. These conditions require immediate replacement for safety.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the 220071855 master cylinder?
A: Master cylinders typically last 3 to 5 years in normal warehouse duty, depending on brake usage intensity and maintenance. Contaminated brake fluid accelerates seal degradation and shortens service life.
Q: Does the 220071855 master cylinder require a specific brake fluid type?
A: The 220071855 is designed for standard DOT-approved brake fluid. Use only the fluid type specified in your equipment manual. Mixing incompatible fluids degrades seals and reduces braking performance.
