Inspection before operation and load moment indicator checks on the Hyster RS45-27CH reachstacker are laid out in this 129-page operator manual (OEM ID 4135477), which also covers the 31CH model. Within the Hyster RS45-27CH operator manual PDF, wiring diagrams trace the electrical circuits while hydraulic schematics lay out the hydraulic control system. Daily inspections, the periodic maintenance schedule, and lubrication and change schedules for the extendable container attachment sit beside the capacity chart, nameplate, sliding cab controls, stabilizer operation and twist lock override. Hold accumulator pre-charge at 10.35 MPa, and torque your steer wheel nuts to 350 to 400 N·m. Your job might be the structural weldment inspection. Bookmarks and a text layer put the service brake, capacities or load handling pages a click or a keyword away, so the one section you came for is never far off.

Hyster RS45-27CH, RS45-31CH Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hyster RS45-27CH and RS45-31CH hourmeter display showing fault code instead of engine hours with central warning lights on
Check the hourmeter display, write down the code and report it immediately. Page 71 says do not operate the truck until the fault is corrected. Note whether the code came from the engine, transmission or hydraulic controller, since each has its own fault code guide. Once all faults are cleared or repaired, verify the display shows engine running hours again.
Manual Section: Fault Codes p. 70Engine air filter warning light on during daily check with engine running
Check the air restriction indicator with the engine operating, and replace the main element when the light is ON (page 71). Inspect the element by putting a bright light inside and looking for holes or damage. Clean the precleaner bowl and wipe the inside of the canister with a damp cloth. Replace the safety element every third main element change.
Manual Section: Maintenance Procedures: Daily and Periodic p. 71Exhaust system high temperature light illuminated on Tier 4i engine during work shift
Verify the exhaust pipe outlet is not pointed at any surface or material that may become hazardous. If the work area cannot tolerate high exhaust temperatures, switch the Regeneration Control Switch to ON to postpone diesel particulate filter regeneration. Then perform a Stationary Regeneration Procedure at the earliest convenience, as page 71 directs.
Manual Section: High Exhaust System Temperature Light p. 71Engine shuts down by itself when operator is absent from the seat
Check whether the empty seat engine shutdown has triggered. Page 103 explains that the engine stops when the operator is absent for a factory-set time. Turn the key switch to OFF, then follow the normal starting procedures to restart. If the factory setting does not suit your work cycle, have your dealer adjust the shutdown delay.
Manual Section: Operating Procedures: LMI and Engine Operation p. 103Transmission disengaged and hydraulic boom functions not operating after operator returns to seat
Verify you are seated. On trucks with the optional Operator Presence System, also fasten the seat belt. Engage the transmission by depressing the inching brake pedal, or by moving the gear selector to NEUTRAL and then into travel mode (page 103). If the OPS does not operate as expected, remove the truck from service until repairs are completed.
Manual Section: Operating Procedures: LMI and Engine Operation p. 103Boom will not derrick up or extend with blue LED and audible alarm on
Check the attachment indicator lights to find which System Interrupt is active (page 123). The Lift Interrupt stops derricking up and boom extension while the twist locks sit between the locked and unlocked positions, so complete the twist lock movement first. Never lift a container while the Lift Interrupt is active. Never use the override during normal operation, because page 125 warns the truck can tip over.
Manual Section: System Interrupts p. 123Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clear or reset fault codes on a Hyster RS45-31CH?
Fault codes are cleared automatically once the underlying fault is repaired. When all faults have been cleared or repaired, the hourmeter/fault code display will show engine running hours again. If a fault appears, report it immediately and do not operate the lift truck until the fault is corrected. p. 71
How do I troubleshoot a Hyster RS45-31CH fault code?
To troubleshoot, refer to the specific fault code guides provided in the manual. Use the Cummins Engine Fault Code Guide 600 SRM 1101 for engine codes, the APC200 Fault Code Guide 1300 SRM 1435 for transmission codes, and the Hydraulic Control System 1900 SRM 1534 for hydraulic system fault codes. p. 71
What is the torque specification for the drive wheel nuts on the Hyster RS45-27CH, RS45-31CH reachstacker?
The wheel nuts for the drive wheels have different torque specifications depending on the axle manufacturer. For Kessler axles, the torque is 350 to 400 N·m (258 to 295 lbf ft), and for Axle Tech axles, the torque is 405 to 440 N·m (300 to 325 lbf ft). p. 35
What is the engine oil capacity for Tier 4/Stage IIIB engines on the Hyster RS45-27CH, RS45-31CH?
For Tier 4/Stage IIIB engines, the engine oil capacity is 22.8 liters (24 quarts). p. 46
What is the procedure for checking the engine oil level?
After the engine has stopped, wait one minute before checking the oil level. Keep the oil at the correct level as indicated on the dipstick. Ensure the engine is cold when checking the level. p. 62
