INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
This section has the description and the repair proce-
dures for the speed reducer and differential.
DESCRIPTION (See FIGURE 1.)
The speed reducer and differential are installed in a
common housing as an assembly. The speed reducer is a
single stage reducer with a small drive gear and a large
driven gear. The speed reducer transfers power between
the powershift transmission and the ring and pinion
gears. It decreases the revolutions per minute between
the engine and the drive axle.
The ring and pinion set of gears is also a single stage
speed reducer. The ring and pinion gears transfer the
power to the drive axles and drive wheels.
The differential assembly is fastened to the ring gear.
The ends of the axle shafts have splines that fit into the
differential side gears.
REPAIRS
REMOVAL
The speed reducer and differential are in the same hous-
ing. The normal procedure is to remove the complete
drive axle and speed reducer as an assembly from the lift
truck.
1. Remove the carriage and mast assembly as described
in the section THE MAST, 4000 SRM 340.
2. Disconnect the brake lines at the wheel cylinders.
3. Remove the parking brake lever from the cowl. Re-
move the clamps for the parking brake cables at the
frame.
4. Put blocks on both sides (front and back) of the steer-
ing tires so that the lift truck can not move. Connect a
lifting device to the front of the frame. Put a floor jack
under the speed reducer to hold the drive axle assembly
in position. Remove the four large capscrews that hold
the drive axle assembly to the frame. These capscrews
are tightened to 1000 N.m (740 lbf ft). See FIGURE 2.
5. Raise the lift truck frame. Make sure the parking
brake cables that are still attached to the drive axle as-
sembly move freely. Make sure the output yoke for the
drive shaft slides out of the transmission. Remove the
drive axle assembly from under the lift truck.
DISASSEMBLY (See FIGURE 1.)
1. Drain the oil from the drive axle assembly.
WARNING
Completely remove the air pressure from the tire
before it is removed from the drive axle. Air pressure
in the tires can cause the tire and wheel parts to
explode, causing serious injury or death. Tires and
wheels must be changed by trained service
personnel.
2. Put the drive axle assembly on blocks. Remove the
axle shafts. See the section for THE DRIVE AXLE,
1400 SRM 361.
3. Remove the drive shaft from the drive gear of the
speed reducer. Remove the cover from the speed
reducer. Connect a lifting device to the speed reducer
housing. Remove the capscrews that hold speed reducer
housing to the drive axle housing. Separate the speed
reducer housing from the drive axle housing. DO NOT
damage the surfaces where the housings join. Lift the
speed reducer and differential assembly away from the
drive axle housing.
4. If the same parts for the differential (bearings and
gears)aregoingtobeinstalledagain,checktheringgear
and pinion clearance. Use the procedures described in
ASSEMBLY, Differential, in this section. Also, when
removing the adjustment rings, count the number of
turns it takes to remove each adjustment

justment rings in position.
7. Loosen the four capscrews for the bearing caps. If
necessary, remove the adjustment rings as described in
step 4, above. Remove the bearing caps, adjustment
rings and bearing cups.
8. Remove the ring gear and differential assembly from
the housing.
9. Disassemble the ring gear and the differential assem-
bly as needed for repairs. Use a punch to mark the differ-
ential cases so that they will be assembled in the same
position. If necessary, remove the bearings from the dif-
ferential case with a puller or a press.
10. Remove the capscrews that hold the bearing for the
drive gear in the housing. Remove the eight capscrews
for the bearing carrier. Remove the drive gear assembly,
pinion, bearing carrier and bearings.
11. Put the driven gear in a vise with soft jaws. Remove
the nut and the driven gear from the pinion shaft. The
pinion nut is tightened to 1100 N.m (810 lbf ft).

INSPECTION
1. Careful inspection of the parts before assembly is
very important. Inspect all bearing surfaces. Replace all
bearings that are worn or damaged. Remove all bearings
needing replacement with a correct puller or press. The
parts will become damaged if a drift and hammer is
used.
2. Inspect the ring gear and pinion for wear and damage.
When necessary to replace either the pinion or ring gear,
thegearsmustbereplacedasaset.Inspectthefaceofthe
thrust screw for the ring gear for wear or damage.
3. Inspect the differential assembly for wear and dam-
age. The thrust washers must be replaced in sets. Differ-
ential gears and side gears must be replaced in complete
sets. Check the holes in each differential half where the
spider assembly is connected. Check that the spider and
the holes for the spider in the differential case are round.
4. Inspect the axle shafts for cracks, damage or wear.
Axle shafts must be straight.
5. Inspect the housing for cracks and damaged surfaces.
Make necessary repairs before assembly. The threads
must be clean to make correct adjustments.
ASSEMBLY
Pinion Assembly (See FIGURE 5.)
1. Assemble the pinion assembly. Install the pilot bear-
ing and one of the bearing cones on the pinion. Always
push on the inner race when installing the bearings. The
bearings must be against the shoulders of the pinion. In-
stall the snap ring to hold the pilot bearing on the pinion.
2. Install the bearing cups in the bearing carrier. Install
the bearing carrier on the pinion. Install the two spacers
removed during disassembly. The spacers are available
in the following widths:
in mm in mm
0.238 (6.05) 0.267 (6.78)
0.239 (6.07) 0.273 (6.93)
0.240 (6.10) 0.279 (7.09)

NOTE: The special nut for the pinion can be installed
only once. When making adjustments, use a nut with the
tapered end removed. When the adjustment is correct,
install a new nut.
3. Install the driven gear and nut on the pinion. Put the
driven gear in a vise with soft jaws. Make sure you do
not damage the gear. Tighten the nut to 1100 N.m (812
lbf ft). Check the rotating torque of the pinion caused by
the pre–load on the bearings. The limits are 1.2 to 4.0
N.m (10 to 35 lbf in). See FIGURE 6.

4. Install the shims between the bearing carrier and the
housing. See FIGURE 12. Install the pinion assembly in
the speed reducer housing. If the pinion and ring gear
were not replaced, use the shims that were removed.
Tighten the eight capscrews to 90 N.m (66 lbf ft). If the
pinion and ring gear were replaced, see TABLE 1. for
finding the correct shim measurements.
NOTE: The pinion and ring gear are made in sets. Both
the ring gear and pinion have marks with the same num-
ber. If the original pinion is not available and the + or –
dimension is not known, adjust the pinion to the test di-
mension shown in FIGURE 12. The test dimension is
190.5 mm (7.500 in). Use shims between the bearing
carrier and the speed reducer housing to obtain the test
dimension + or – 0.025 mm (0.001 in).
Differential
NOTE: When installing the capscrews for the differen-
tial assembly, put a small amount of oil on the threads.
1. If the differential bearings must be replaced, press
new bearings on each differential half. Assemble the
differential and ring gear.
CAUTION
The ring gear must be heated before it is assembled
on the differential half. Heat the ring gear in water to
82°C (180°F) for approximately 10 minutes. This
heatwillpermiteasierinstallation.Donotuseapress
to install the ring gear. A press will damage the
surfaces and cause the ring gear to align incorrectly.

TIGHTENING SEQUENCE
Tighten the ring gear bolts to 70 N.m (50 lbf ft) accord-
ing to the pattern in FIGURE 7. Then tighten the
capscrews to 140 N.m (105 lbf ft).
2. Assemble the differential gear assembly if it was dis-
assembled. (See FIGURE 8.) Align the punch marks
and fasten the differential halves together. Use a thread
locking compound (Hyster Part No. 257291) on the
capscrews. Use four capscrews at equal spaces. Check
that the differential gears rotate correctly. Install the
other capscrews and tighten all capscrews to 140 N.m
(105 lbf ft). Check that the differential gears rotate cor-
rectly.
3. Put the bearing cups over the bearing cones and install
the differential assembly in the housing. Each bearing
must be assembled in the same position from which it
was removed. Tighten each adjustment ring against the
bearing by hand. Make sure that each adjustment ring is
installed in the same position from which it was re-
moved.

FIGURE 10. ADJUST THE GEAR CLEARANCE
STEP 1. Fasten a dial indicator to the housing so that the movement of the ring gear can be measured.
Loosen the adjustment ring opposite the dial indicator until the dial indicator just indicates movement.
Tighten the same adjustment ring to get zero clearance.
STEP 2. Rotate the ring gear 360 degrees while checking with the dial indicator. Check that the surface
of the ring gear opposite the teeth does not indicate a variation of more than 0.08 mm (0.003 in). If the vari-
ation is more than 0.08 mm (0.003 in) remove the differential assembly and check the ring gear mount sur-
face.
STEP 3. Tighten each adjustment ring one notch from zero clearance so that the differential bearings have
a pre–load.
NOTE: Do not permit the ring gear to touch the pinion during these adjustments. The gears can be dam-
aged and the dial indicator will give a bad reading. The ring gear can be moved away from the pinion with
the adjustment ring.
STEP 4. Adjust gear clearance. This gear clearance is the distance between the teeth of the ring gear and
pinion. Adjust the clearance to 0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.006 to 0.010 in). Adjust the clearance by moving the ring
gear only. Adjust the ring gear by loosening one adjustment ring and tightening the other adjustment ring
the same amount. Check the contact pattern of the gear teeth as shown in FIGURE 11.

STEP 1. Apply a colored dye or grease to approx-
imately 12 of the ring gear teeth.
STEP 2. Apply a small friction load to the edge of
the ring gear so that the ring gear does not turn
easily. Rotate the ring gear one revolution by turn-
ing the pinion.
STEP 3. Check the tooth contact pattern on the
ring gear. Make sure that the pattern is checked
on the side of the tooth where the pinion applies
the force.
The contact area is the center between the top and
the bottom of the tooth. The contact area will be
almost the full length of the tooth.
The contact area is the center between the top and
the bottom of the tooth. The contact area is toward
the inner circumference of the ring gear.
