Dear Roadtech,
Thank you for your reply, with each new answer i get little more confident about my upcoming trip.
I have a few answers:
1) They havent had the machine for long (maybe a week or so).
2) I believe they got it used (i will ask if this was a lease, owned or rented machine. also I do not believe they were servicing it.
3) It was used in some kind of a small store (warehouse) hence the low hours.
4)I was told that it was serviced last in June so i believe it was 90 days schedule. But i will ask for information on that tomorrow.
5) I will do that. Should i be looking for anything in particular? Any particular places that i can check for leaks?
6) Is there anyone you can recommend in the New York Area that would be able to provide me with this kind of service? What would a Qualified Forklift Tech charge for this kind of service? The dealer is in Long Island. Also if i were to make 3-4 appointments in one day. What do you think that kind of service would cost me?

I think i will check the serial number and try to find a Hyster dealer for some more information as well.

Another thing i was thinking: If i get 90 day warranty on the truck, around day 45 i will bring in a third party to do a complete inspection of the truck. If that inspection reveals any problems i will contact the seller and ask him to correct any problems that the inspection revealed. By that time i should be a lot more familiar with the truck and will try locate other poblems while i am using it (starter, batterry).


Again i want to thank everyone for the answers, i feel that i have learned a lot and feel a little more prepared for my visit. I will appreicate any other advice or help.
