Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications of the HY 2305167 key switch?
A: The HY 2305167 is rated for up to 10 amperes at 24 volts DC. It features a die-cast zinc alloy body with nickel-plated brass key mechanism, suitable for standard electric forklift ignition applications.
Q: Which Hyster electric forklifts are compatible with the HY 2305167?
A: The HY 2305167 is designed for Hyster electric forklifts with 24VDC ignition systems. Verify your vehicle model and voltage rating before ordering, as voltage incompatibility will prevent proper operation.
Q: What is the cross-reference part number for the HY 2305167?
A: The HY 2305167 replaces Hyster part number 66000195. This cross-reference is useful when sourcing from secondary sources or matching existing inventory.
Q: Why is the HY 2305167 constructed from die-cast zinc alloy?
A: Die-cast zinc alloy provides durability against corrosion, thermal stability in the engine compartment, and adequate electrical conductivity for low-voltage ignition circuits. The nickel-plated brass key provides wear resistance against repeated insertion and rotation.
Q: What symptoms indicate the HY 2305167 key switch needs replacement?
A: Replace the key switch if the ignition fails to turn on the vehicle, if the key turns freely without engaging electrical circuits, if the key gets stuck, or if there is visible corrosion on the contacts. Intermittent starting or electrical faults may also indicate switch degradation.
