Greetings All,
Hyster Model H60FT
Serial number P176V09660S
Engine PSI 2.4 LITER
Recently an existing customer had me take over a new (to me) location.
He asked me to bring a generic seat with a seat switch to install on this machine. When I got there I found what appeared to be an after market seat belt with wires that have never been hooked up. There was a harness and plug, with I think 4 wires, for the seat belt had been cut. I assumed that it had been bypassed elsewhere.
The original seat switch harness had 4 wires and my new seat only had 2. I though I had it figured out but it is a no go on hydraulics. I get a hydraulic interloc code on the dash, sorry I didn't take a picture.
Thanks for any help

Great info. Thanks Andrew.
Actually this morning I put the busted up OEM seat back on so customer can use the lift. I'm getting pricing for a new OEM seat today-
you have to put a resistor across the seat switch wires to use an aftermarket seat. The truck either needs to see the switch fully closed and a resistance when the switch is open. Not switch fully closed and fully open
Great info, thank you Fishmech-
Steve,
The newer the lift the more safety features installed. The seat switch on most lifts over the past 10 to 15 years has 3 to 4 wires. The lift will not operate correctly unless all wires are connected. The hydraulic lockout is a solenoid at the valve that will not release unless someone is sitting in the seat. Looking up the seat, I see a full suspension seat without seat belt interlock. Hope this helps.
