Q: What is the voltage range for hour meter HY 3045581?
A: Hour meter HY 3045581 operates across 10 to 50 volts DC, making it compatible with most electric lift truck battery systems including 24V, 36V, and 48V configurations. Verify your truck battery voltage before installation. Operating outside this range will damage the meter or provide inaccurate readings.
Q: Which lift truck models use hour meter HY 3045581?
A: HY 3045581 is designed for Hyster electric lift trucks across multiple model years. It may also fit Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric equipment with compatible 10-50V electrical systems. Verify dashboard cutout dimensions and electrical connector type before ordering. Provide your truck model and serial number for exact compatibility confirmation.
Q: What does the hour meter dial measure on HY 3045581?
A: The dial displays cumulative operational hours in tenths of an hour. It tracks total equipment runtime for maintenance scheduling and load cycle analysis. The meter is not resettable under normal circumstances; it continuously accumulates hours throughout the service life of the truck.
Q: Is meter HY 3045581 accurate and what is its typical lifespan?
A: Meter accuracy is typically plus or minus 2 percent under normal operating conditions. Lifespan extends 5 to 10 years depending on environmental exposure, electrical stability, and vibration. Meters exposed to extreme cold storage or temperature cycling may fail prematurely. If the display becomes dim, erratic, or unresponsive, replacement is necessary.
Q: Can I use HY 3045581 on electric lift trucks from different manufacturers?
A: Yes, provided the truck has a 10-50V DC system and compatible dashboard cutout and electrical connector. Meters designed for Hyster equipment often interchange with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric trucks. Verify electrical compatibility and connector type before purchasing.
