BREATHER Hyster, HY355860
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HY 355860 breather?
A: The HY 355860 is a breather component for Hyster electric lift trucks. It allows hydraulic reservoir air pressure to equalize during fluid level changes and temperature cycling while preventing external contaminants from entering the system.
Q: Which Hyster models use the HY 355860?
A: The HY 355860 is designed for Hyster electric lift truck applications. Confirm your equipment model matches this OEM part number before ordering to verify compatibility.
Q: What does a plugged HY 355860 breather cause?
A: A plugged breather restricts reservoir air exchange, causing hydraulic pressure imbalance, sluggish lift response, and potential seal damage from vacuum conditions. If the truck shows slow operation or noisy hydraulics, inspect the breather for blockage.
Q: How should the HY 355860 be maintained?
A: Periodically check the breather for dust, debris, or moisture accumulation. Clean or replace the breather element per your maintenance schedule to maintain proper hydraulic system venting and extend component life.
