Discussion:
code 51

I have a Hyster E50XM2-33 sn F108V19668X that is giving a code 51. It happens while the hydraulic functions are being used. The thermistor on the line contactor gets hot. All the control fuses are good. Any help will appreciated.

Hi, do you know the value of the Thermistor or P/N.
Thanks

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
