Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HY 389628 lube fitting and what does it do?
A: The HY 389628 is an OEM steel lube fitting for Hyster electric lift trucks. It connects pressurized lubrication lines to frame and undercarriage pivot points, ensuring proper grease distribution to critical wear surfaces on models W40XL, W40XT, W40Z, and W45Z.
Q: Which Hyster electric lift truck models use the HY 389628 lube fitting?
A: The HY 389628 is designed for Hyster W40XL, W40XT, W40Z, and W45Z electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. Verify your model designation against the compatibility list before ordering, as serial number ranges may affect fitment.
Q: What material is the HY 389628 made from and how durable is it?
A: The HY 389628 lube fitting is constructed of steel with a plain steel finish. Steel fittings are designed for industrial load and vibration environments. The fitting is subject to wear over time as it experiences pressure cycling and grease flow. Inspect periodically for cracks or leaks and replace if damage is observed.
Q: Can I use the HY 389628 in hydraulic applications or only lubrication circuits?
A: The HY 389628 is designed for pressurized lubrication and grease circuits, not primary hydraulic pressure lines. Do not install it in high-pressure hydraulic systems unless OEM documentation specifically permits it, as the fitting may not withstand those pressures.
