Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SY42701 grease fitting used for on fork lift trucks?
A: The SY42701 grease fitting is a lubrication port that allows pressurized grease injection into mast rollers, load wheel bearings, and pivot points on fork lift trucks. It prevents dry running and extends bearing life in high-cycle material handling service.
Q: What fork lift truck models are compatible with the SY42701 grease fitting?
A: The SY42701 grease fitting fits multiple fork lift models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM manufacturers. Verify the thread size and mounting style match your truck specification before ordering.
Q: What are the thread size and specifications for the SY42701 grease fitting?
A: The SY42701 grease fitting has a specific thread pitch and diameter for mounting into mast and bearing blocks. Confirm the fitting thread size and length against your truck schematic or existing fitting to ensure correct fit in the lubrication port.
Q: What material is the SY42701 grease fitting constructed from?
A: The SY42701 grease fitting is manufactured from hardened steel with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The ball check design prevents grease backflow and contaminant entry when the fitting is not in use.
Q: How do you know when the SY42701 grease fitting needs replacement?
A: Replace the SY42701 grease fitting if the ball check valve sticks, grease leaks from the fitting port, or the fitting thread is stripped. A damaged fitting allows improper grease distribution or contamination of bearing surfaces.
