Hyster issued this 226-page operator manual under document numbers 4213743 and 4213744, and it covers four ReachStacker variants in the RS45 and RS46 CH family. Within this Hyster RS45-31CH operator manual PDF, the LLMI indicator lights, the stationary regeneration procedure and the container handler control box LEDs are each explained. Operating techniques follow: picking up and depositing containers and trailers, applying the stabilizer, and system interrupt overrides such as emergency lowering. Budget 850 liters of oil for the hydraulic system. Wheel nuts on drive and steer wheels go to 420 to 440 N·m initially, then re-torque to 380 to 410 N·m. Your daily 8-hour checks (hydraulic tank breathers, engine oil level, coolant, DEF level) are set out in order, along with the wheel and tire inspection due daily and every 250 hours. Bookmarks and a searchable text layer take you straight to the wheel nut figures, so that re-torque is done to Hyster's own numbers.

Hyster RS45-27CH, RS45-31CH, RS46-29CH, RS46-33CH Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hyster RS45-27CH hydraulic oil high temperature warning light on with hHot code and buzzer sounding
Stop operating when the red hydraulic oil temperature light comes ON. Page 31 warns that continuing can damage the truck. Check the display for code hHot, which page 39 ties to reservoir oil above 90 °C (194 °F). Reduce hydraulic power demand until hHot clears before you resume normal work.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System Troubleshooting p. 39Brake system low pressure warning light stays red with buzzer after engine start
Shut down the engine immediately if the red brake low pressure light comes ON while working. Page 32 warns that operating with it lit can cause personal injury. After a restart, wait until the light goes OFF before releasing the park brake or moving the truck. If it will not clear, tag the truck DO NOT operate and remove the key, per page 111.
Manual Section: Controls, Instruments, Indicators, and Switches p. 32Fault codes E5631 and E5632 displayed after engine switched off during automatic regeneration
Move the truck to an area that allows exhaust temperatures reaching 400 °C (752 °F), apply the parking brake and let the engine idle. Activate the Hydraulic Service Switch and press the Regeneration Switch, following page 40. Verify engine speed rises to high idle; if it does not, solve the other displayed codes. Deactivate the switch when speed returns to low idle.
Manual Section: Fault Codes (General) p. 40Engine coolant level warning light on with engine stop light and buzzer sounding
Shut down the engine immediately when the red coolant level light comes ON. Page 35 warns that running on will damage the truck. Inspect the cooling system for the source of the loss, repair as needed, and add coolant to the maximum level in the reservoir. On the QSM11 Tier 3/Stage IIIA engine, coolant capacity is 40 liter per page 214.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting p. 35Orange engine air filter warning light on with central warning lights lit
Replace the main air filter element when the orange air filter light comes ON. Page 36 ties that light to a dirty or obstructed filter. Keep a count of your element changes and replace the safety element every third time the main element is replaced. Verify the air filter light and the central warning lights go out after the change.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting p. 36Twist lock green light does not come ON when spreader is set on container
Verify twist lock engagement before lifting. The green light must be ON and both orange indicator flags must be fully visible, per page 134. If the green lights do not come ON, start the locking procedure again from the beginning. If the problem is still there, contact authorized service personnel instead of lifting the container.
Manual Section: Operating Techniques p. 134Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset a Hyster RS45-31CH fault code?
To reset a fault code, turn the key switch to the OFF position, then back to the ON position. If the fault is still present, the engine will only run for a limited time. p. 28
What does fault code 196 mean on a Hyster RS45-31CH?
Fault code 196 indicates a boom angle and length sensor error. You should not operate the truck with a load and must contact the service department to have a technician check the wiring and connectors of the boom angle and length sensor. p. 94
How do I troubleshoot hydraulic control-system fault codes on Hyster RS45-27CH and RS45-31CH?
Hydraulic control system fault codes are explained in the Hydraulic Control System 1900 SRM 1534 manual. If a fault is detected, the hydraulic system malfunction warning light will turn on and a fault code will be displayed on the hourmeter/fault code display. p. 39
What are the torque specifications for wheel nuts on a Hyster RS45-27CH?
The wheel nuts on drive and steer wheels must be re-torqued to 380 to 410 N·m (280 to 305 lbf ft). This check should be performed 2-5 hours after a wheel replacement, and 8 hours after a nut could be turned at re-torqueing. p. 152
What's the oil capacity of the QSM11 Tier 3/Stage IIIA engine in the Hyster RS45-27CH, RS45-31CH, RS46-29CH, RS46-33CH?
The engine oil capacity for the QSM11 Tier 3/Stage IIIA engine is 33 liters (34.9 gallons). p. 213
How is this Hyster RS45-27CH Operator Manual delivered?
A single searchable PDF file of 226 pages, downloadable right after payment. Nothing ships, nothing waits in the mail.
Can I print pages of this Hyster RS45-27CH manual for my own shop?
Yes. It prints from any PDF reader, so run off the pages you need for your own repair work.
