OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 76000103 oil pressure switch do on an electric lift truck?
A: The 76000103 oil pressure switch monitors hydraulic system pressure on electric lift trucks. It acts as a safety device that triggers shutoff or warning signals when oil pressure drops below operational thresholds, protecting the hydraulic pump and lift mechanism from damage due to low pressure conditions.
Q: What pressure range does the SKU 76000103 switch monitor?
A: The 76000103 is designed to monitor standard hydraulic system pressures typical of electric pallet jack and walkie stacker applications. Verify your equipments hydraulic system pressure specifications before ordering to ensure correct switch setting.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the 76000103 pressure switch?
A: The 76000103 fits multiple brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster electric lift trucks. Cross-reference your truck model and serial number with the equipment documentation to confirm compatibility.
Q: How can I tell if the 76000103 pressure switch has failed?
A: Common failure symptoms include loss of pressure warnings, hydraulic shutdown occurring at normal pressure levels, or complete failure to signal low pressure conditions. If the lift mechanism stops responding or pressure gauges show inconsistent readings, the switch may require replacement.
Q: How often should I replace the 76000103 oil pressure switch?
A: Pressure switches typically last 3 to 5 years depending on operating hours, hydraulic fluid condition, and system cleanliness. Replace sooner if the switch fails to trigger at expected pressure thresholds or becomes unresponsive. Maintain hydraulic fluid per OEM recommendations to extend switch life.
