Discharging the capacitors before you pull the AC traction motor is one of the jobs this 366-page Hyster W60Z service manual PDF lays out, and the same book serves the W65Z and W80Z pallet trucks. Electrical wiring diagrams sit in the schematic section, while the hydraulic schematics cover the lift circuit: reservoir, lift pump and motor, lowering valve, relief valve and lift cylinder. Curtis 1297 controller work gets its own chapter, with 1307 and 1311 handset programming, LED fault codes and a control card functional test. Set the control handle prox switch gap at 3.0 to 5.0 mm (0.12 to 0.20 in.), and confirm the temperature sensor reads 530 ohms at 25 °C (77 °F). If your task is splitting the frame, frame separation and assembly are covered as well. Bookmarks and a searchable text layer take you straight to brake air gap adjustment, battery maintenance or the lubrication schedule.
