Hyster S30FT, S35FT, S40FTS, H1.6FT, H1.8FT 2013 Wiring Diagram

You pull off the cover on a Hyster S30FT and find a nest of wires that doesn’t match the aftermarket diagram you obtained. I’ve seen that cost a shop a controller board and a full day of labor. This Hyster S30FT, S35FT, S40FTS, H1.6FT, H1.8FT 2013 Wiring Diagram is the factory document – 70 pages of schematics, wire color tables, and the exact safety notes Hyster expects a tech to follow. It’s not a reprint or a third-party summary. It’s the same PDF Hyster dealers use.

Diagrams and Schematics Overview

Page 1 lists every model covered: S30FT, S35FT, S40FTS, H1.6FT, H1.8FT, plus variants like H2.0FTS and the H30FT family. The TOC starts with “Diagrams and Schematics” then goes straight into “Safety Precautions Maintenance and Repair” on page 2. If you have a lift truck with an E010, F001, or L177 suffix, you need to check Table 3 (“1-9 Ton Diagrams Manual Applications”) to confirm your specific machine – that table is printed right after the symbol definitions. Don’t skip that step; I’ve watched a tech apply a diagram from a different tonnage class and melt a harness.

Safety Precautions – Read This First

Page 2 opens with a bold warning: “DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair on electric lift trucks.” That sentence alone is worth the price if you’re working on an H1.6FT or H1.8FT. The section also covers lifting procedures, approved parts (Hyster demands HYSTER APPROVED parts), and a DO NOT OPERATE tag requirement. None of that is in generic aftermarket wiring books. You can find similar safety guidelines in Automotive Wiring references, but Hyster’s factory notes are specific to their chassis and control systems.

Symbol Definitions: What Those Icons Mean

The manual includes a “Symbol Definitions” subsection under “General Information About Diagrams and Schematics.” Table 2 lists every symbol used in the drawings – ground points, connectors, fuses, and relay contacts. If you’ve ever stared at a schematic and wondered whether a dashed line means a shielded wire or a chassis ground, this table answers it. The symbols follow the standard used in the Automotive Industry Overview, but Hyster adds a few proprietary ones for their controller interfaces.

3 Tables That Save You Time

Table 1 (“Wire Colors”) gives the full color code used across all the diagrams. Table 2 (“Symbol Definitions”) covers the icons. Table 3 (“1-9 Ton Diagrams Manual Applications”) maps each diagram to the correct truck model and production code. For example, if you have a S35FT with an E010 build code, Table 3 tells you to use the diagrams listed under “S30FT, S35FT, S40FTS [E010]” – not the ones for [F001] or [L177]. Matching that code avoids pulling the wrong schematic. This manual is part of the larger Hyster Lift Truck Service Manual set, but it’s the dedicated wiring supplement.

Does This Manual Cover Your Hyster Model?

It covers the 2013 model year for S30FT, S35FT, S40FTS, H1.6FT, H1.8FT. It also includes data for related models like H2.0FTS, S2.0-3.5FT, and H2.0-3.5FT – but check Table 3 for your exact suffix code. If you’re working on a newer year or a different fuel type (LPG, diesel, electric), you may need the companion Hyster S2.0-3.5FT H2.0-3.5FT Service Manual or the Hyster LPG Fuel System 4.3L Engine Service Manual for engine-specific wiring. This diagram manual stays focused on the chassis harness, control circuits, and safety interlocks.

FAQ

What models are covered?

S30FT, S35FT, S40FTS, H1.6FT, H1.8FT.

Is this the same as a service manual?

No, this is a wiring diagram supplement. It covers schematics, wire colors, and safety procedures – not engine overhaul or transmission work.

How do I read the wire color table?

Table 1 lists the color abbreviations and their full names (e.g., BK = Black, RD = Red, BU = Blue). Use this table to identify every wire in the schematic. Then refer to Table 3 to confirm your truck’s diagram set. If you have a lift truck with a suffix like [E010], match that code exactly. The manual also includes symbol definitions in Table 2 so you can interpret all the connector and relay symbols. I recommend printing out Table 1 and taping it to your toolbox if you work on Hyster equipment regularly – aftermarket manuals often reorganize the color codes, and guessing a wire color on a 48V system will cost you big.

Can I use this for a 2014 model?

This covers 2013 model year only. Check the publication year on the cover – Hyster releases updates annually.
