Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the HY 2304836 hydraulic pump do in an electric lift truck?
A: The HY 2304836 hydraulic pump generates pressure to operate the lifting and tilting cylinders in Hyster electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. It converts motor power into hydraulic flow for load handling.
Q: Which Hyster models use the HY 2304836 hydraulic pump?
A: The HY 2304836 is compatible with various Hyster electric lift truck models. Check your equipment documentation or provide your model and serial number to verify this pump will fit your truck.
Q: What oil type should be used in the HY 2304836 pump?
A: Use only the hydraulic fluid specified in your truck manual. Most Hyster hydraulic systems require ISO 46 anti-wear hydraulic oil. Do not substitute with other fluid types as this can damage seals and reduce pump life.
Q: How often should the HY 2304836 pump be serviced?
A: Follow the maintenance schedule in your truck manual. Typically, hydraulic system filters should be changed annually or every 1000 operating hours. Contaminated fluid shortens pump life significantly.
Q: What are failure symptoms for the HY 2304836 pump?
A: Signs of pump failure include slow or jerky lift movement, loss of lifting power, unusual noises from the hydraulic system, or visible fluid leaks. These indicate internal wear or seal degradation.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the HY 2304836 hydraulic pump?
A: With proper maintenance and clean hydraulic fluid, the HY 2304836 pump typically lasts 5 to 10 years. Dirty fluid, inadequate servicing, or heavy duty cycles can reduce lifespan to 2 to 3 years.
