OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the oil pressure switch SKU 5800626-99 do?
A: This switch monitors hydraulic oil pressure in electric lift truck systems and triggers warnings or shuts down the pump if pressure falls outside the safe operating range. It is a critical safety component in Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster electric lift trucks.
Q: What pressure range does this switch operate at?
A: Verify the pressure rating and set points for your specific lift truck model. Typical oil pressure switches in electric lift equipment are set between 50 and 150 PSI depending on pump design and load capacity. Check your equipment documentation for the exact specification.
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing oil pressure switch?
A: Signs of failure include: the lift pump running continuously without raising the load, low pressure warning light remaining on after startup, pump shutting down during normal operation, or abnormal hydraulic noise. A failed switch can prevent pump engagement or cause dangerous pressure buildup.
Q: Is there a cross-reference or equivalent part number?
A: Verify the OEM part number and mounting configuration specific to your lift truck model. Cross-reference compatibility with the manufacturer or check the pressure rating to identify equivalent switches. Pressure settings and connector types vary by equipment.
Q: How do I know if this switch needs replacement?
A: Replace this switch if pressure readings on your gauge are abnormal, warning lights malfunction, the pump fails to shut off at correct pressure, or you experience erratic pressure behavior. Oil pressure switches typically last 3 to 5 years; replace proactively if the truck is over 8 years old.
