AUSA CH 200, CH 250 Operators Manual – Factory Specs for Your Forklift

You’re not a forklift dealer. You bought an AUSA CH 200 or CH 250 because it works, and you need it to keep working. But without the right specs, you’ll waste time guessing oil capacities, miss a grease point, or – worse – skip a safety lockout and hurt someone. That’s why you need the actual AUSA CH 200, CH 250 Operators Manual from the factory, not a photocopy of a scan. I’ve seen guys blow a hydraulic line because they guessed the wrong fluid. Don’t be that guy.

What’s Inside the 64-Page Factory Operators Manual

Page 5 starts with intended use – what the forklift is designed to do and what it isn’t. Page 6 shows you every component labeled and numbered so you aren’t pointing at a part and calling it “that thing.” Vehicle identification on page 7 makes sure you’re reading the manual that matches your serial number. Safety warnings on page 12 are written by people who have seen the aftermath of a tip-over. If you skip that section, you’re gambling with your back and your job. Controls and the multifunction instrument panel are on pages 17-19. Operation starts on page 20. There’s a transport section on page 23 for when you need to move the machine. Then the real meat – periodic maintenance on page 24, capacities on page 28, grease points on page 29, electrical circuit on page 30, and hydraulic schematics starting page 59. That’s 64 pages of factory-verified data. No aftermarket interpretation.

Safety First: Page 12 Warnings and Page 17 Controls

Page 12 isn’t a sticker you peel off. It’s the written version of every safety decal on the machine. The manual tells you what each symbol means and when to replace a damaged decal. If you’re working around a forklift, you need to know the load center limits and the stability triangle. Page 17-19 covers the control layout: joystick functions, parking brake, horn, and the multifunction display. The display shows things like hour meter, battery voltage, and fault codes. You can’t diagnose a warning light without knowing which icon means “hydraulic oil temperature high.” That’s in the manual.

Maintenance Intervals and Capacities

Oil changes, hydraulic fluid, transmission, axles – the capacities are on page 28. You get liters and quarts. Grease points are on page 29 with a diagram showing exactly where to pump grease and how many shots. The maintenance chart on page 63 lists hourly intervals: daily, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 hours. If you’ve ever tried to figure out when to change the final drive oil on a CH 250, this chart saves you from calling the dealer. Torque values for wheel nuts and drain plugs are referenced in the maintenance procedures – look for the spec stamped next to the step, not in a separate table. That’s how factory manuals work: the torque is right there when you need it.

Hydraulic and Electrical Schematics – Factory Diagrams on Page 30 and Page 59

Page 30 gives you the full electrical circuit diagram. Wire colors, fuse locations, relay positions. If your CH 200 won’t start and the glow plug light is dead, you trace the circuit on paper before you start poking with a test light. Page 59 starts the hydraulic schematics, with separate diagrams for the shuttle table (page 60) and the Hydromatik options for CH 200 (page 61) and CH 250 (page 62). These are OEM drawings, not aftermarket redraws. The line thickness, the valve symbols, the flow arrows – all factory.

3 Reasons to Use OEM Operator Documentation

First, aftermarket manuals for European lift trucks often skip the Hidromatik pump details. This one doesn’t. Second, safety warnings are legally required to match the machine’s specific configuration – a generic forklift manual won’t tell you where the CH 250’s parking brake release is (page 17). Third, when you order parts from your AUSA dealer, they ask for the machine serial number and the manual reference. Having the factory operator manual means you give them the right part number the first time. If you’re also working on a manual transmission vehicle, check Manual Transmission for transmission-specific specs, and Manual Transmission for clutch and gearbox details.

Does this manual cover the CH 200 4×4 and CH 250 4×4 models?

Yes. The manual includes both 2WD and 4WD variants. The component identification on page 6 shows both drive configurations. Hydraulic schematics on pages 61-62 also distinguish between the standard and 4×4 versions. You’ll see “CH 200” and “CH 200 4×4” listed separately.

What kind of torque specifications are in this manual?

Torque values for critical fasteners – wheel nuts, engine drain plug, hydraulic fitting connections – are listed inline within the maintenance procedures. For example, the wheel nut torque is called out on the wheel removal step. There is no standalone torque chart, but the spec is there. Page 28 capacities include fluid types and volumes.

Is this the full service and repair manual or just the operator’s manual?

This is the operator’s manual – 64 pages – focused on safe operation, daily and periodic maintenance, and troubleshooting common issues. It does not contain engine rebuild procedures or transmission overhaul steps. For deep repairs, you need the AUSA service manual. But for keeping the machine running and avoiding breakdowns, this is the document you need on the dash.

Can I use this manual if I don’t read Spanish?

The manual is printed in Spanish. That’s the language of the original AUSA factory document. If you can’t read Spanish, you’ll have a hard time following the maintenance intervals and safety warnings. Consider using a translator app or look for an English version. The diagrams and numbers are universal, but text-heavy sections like page 12 safety will be inaccessible.

Look, I’ve been turning wrenches for three decades. I don’t have time to wonder if a spec is right. When a machine comes in with a load on the forks and a flashing hydraulic light, I need the factory data. That’s what this 64-page operators manual gives you. If you value your time and your machinery, access the factory manual now. Make sure it’s on your tablet or printed and stowed in the tool box before you touch a wrench.
