Discussion:
Speed Adjustment??

Hello All, I have a customer complaint that their Hyster lift is slower than the other 2 they have. I'm unformiliar with this set up could someone please let me know how to adjust the speed on this machine? No I am not an operator. Yes its by customer request. This is a competitor truck. Disclaimer added because some people ask about speed settings and most replies are rude and unhelpful.

FLF,
Assuming you have a transistor controller, there are three screws on the side. from the end where the cables mount, the first screw handles acceleration rate, second handle speed and third handles plugging. As you look at the screw, clockwise is higher and counter is lower. Make sure you do not increase speed to much, or jack will be hard to handle.

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.
