QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:

1-How long has the dealer had the truck??

2- Did they sell it new or take it in as a trade in ( Where did it come from & what type of warehouse enviroment).

3- Can they give you a copy of the trucks serivce history and previous owners.

4- What type of PM service schedule was the truck been kept on? (30,60,90 or 180 days)

5-Take a good flash light with you and look at the motor area, check filters to see if they have been dated from PM services.(Don't be afraid to take floor plates & side covers off for inspection)

6- If you really have doubts, spend a few dollars now and pay a Qualified Forklift Tech to go with you, could save you a LOT of headaches in the future.

If they are not a Hyster dealer, Take the model and serial number to a dealer and have them pull a service history for warranty claims and up to date recalls.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
