Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the YL 800018687 raise and lower switch control?
A: The YL 800018687 is a raise and lower switch for Yale electric lift trucks. This switch directs hydraulic or electrical commands to the mast and load-handling mechanism, allowing operators to control vertical load movement.
Q: Will the YL 800018687 fit my Yale lift truck?
A: The YL 800018687 is engineered for Yale electric lift truck models. Confirm compatibility by comparing your equipment serial number and cabin design against the OEM specification. Mounting location and electrical connector type must match.
Q: What happens if the YL 800018687 fails?
A: If the raise and lower switch fails, the operator will lose the ability to control mast movement. Symptoms include no response to lever input, stuck in one direction, or intermittent control. The truck must not be operated until the switch is replaced.
Q: How do I know if the YL 800018687 needs replacement?
A: Replace the switch if mast movement is sluggish, unresponsive, or does not correspond to operator input. Electrical testing may show open or erratic continuity. If the load drifts down when held, the switch contacts may be worn.
Q: Can the YL 800018687 be used on non-Yale equipment?
A: No. The YL 800018687 is an OEM Yale part designed specifically for Yale electric lift truck systems. Use of this switch on other equipment may damage the trucks electrical system or create safety hazards.
