Hyster S6.0FT, S7.0FT, S135FT, S155FT 2013 Repair Manual – OEM Specs

Description

If you’ve ever had to guess a torque spec on a Hyster frame and ended up with a stripped bolt or a leaky joint, you know exactly why this manual exists. The Hyster S6.0FT, S7.0FT, S135FT, S155FT 2013 Repair Manual is the factory document that tells you the exact procedure, the exact torque, and the exact sequence for every major component on these lift trucks. I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I still see guys skip the safety page and then wonder why something went wrong. This manual starts with safety on page 2, and it’s worth reading twice.

7 Systems Covered in the Hyster S6.0FT, S7.0FT, S135FT, S155FT 2013 Repair Manual

Frame, steering column, engine replacement, exhaust system, cooling system, hydraulic filter assembly, and fuel/hydraulic tanks. Each section breaks down into remove, disassemble, clean, inspect, assemble, and install. That’s not a suggestion — it’s the only way to get the job done without rework. The LPG tank and bracket replacement procedure saves you from dropping a heavy tank on your foot if you follow the block-and-crane instructions.

Engine Replacement: GM 4.3L, Cummins QSB 3.3L, and More

You get removal and installation steps for engine-only and engine-and-transmission combos. For the Cummins 4.5L diesel, the electronic throttle replacement section includes pull actuator linkage adjustment and low idle adjustment. Don’t try to guess those linkages — the manual spells out the adjuster turns. For transmission-related work, check out the Hyster Service Manual 8000 SRM 1409 for additional procedures.

Steering Column Repair: Disassemble, Clean, Inspect, Assemble

The steering column section is a full walkthrough: remove, disassemble, clean, inspect, assemble, install. No shortcuts. If you’ve ever had a steering column bind because you reused a worn bushing, you’ll appreciate that the manual tells you exactly what to look for during inspection. I’ve seen aftermarket manuals skip the clean step entirely — not here.

Counterweight replacement is another good example. The manual lists the weight of counterweights in Table 2 and gives you the remove/install sequence, including the tow pin. If you lift without knowing that weight, you’re asking for trouble.

Fuel and Hydraulic Tanks: Steam Cleaning vs Chemical Solution

When you’re dealing with fuel or hydraulic tanks, contamination is the enemy. The manual covers two cleaning methods: steam and chemical solution. It also tells you how to repair small leaks and large leaks, and what to do after the repair. This is the kind of detail that keeps a hydraulic system from eating its own pump. If you need brake system specs, the Hyster Brake System Service Manual 1800 SRM 1247 complements this frame manual.

Does This Manual Cover the Exhaust System for Every Engine?

Yes — four engine variants: GM 4.3L, Cummins QSB 3.3L, Cummins 4.5L, and Kubota 3.8L diesel. Each gets its own remove, inspect, and install sequence. Don’t try to interchange procedures across engines; the routing and gasket specs differ. For the GM 4.3L gasoline engine, refer to Hyster Gasoline Fuel System GM 4.3L Engine Manual.

The overhead guard replacement section includes LED tail, backup, and brake light replacement. The operator restraint system description tells you how the seat belt and interlock function. Safety labels are listed at the end — don’t peel them off; the manual has the part numbers to order replacements.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

Third-party manuals often copy the Table of Contents but then give you generic torque values. This is a Hyster factory print — part number 1652521, SRM 1316. The frame section alone covers the S6.0FT, S7.0FT (S135FT, S155FT) [D024, E024, F024, G024]. You get the OEM part numbers for gas springs (Table 1) and counterweight weights (Table 2). I don’t trust aftermarket documentation on principle; if they don’t list the exact Hyster part number, they’re guessing. Don’t confuse this with a Manual Transmission guide — this is frame-specific. If you are working on a Manual Transmission, that’s a different document.

Every torque spec, every hydraulic fitting size, every spring tension value comes from the Hyster engineering team that built the truck. That’s the only source I stake my reputation on.

FAQ — Common Questions About This Manual

What models does this manual cover?

S6.0FT, S7.0FT, S135FT, S155FT.

Does it include wiring diagrams?

No. This is a frame, engine, and hydraulic repair manual. For electrical schematics, you need the Hyster electrical service manual — separate document. This manual covers mechanical removal, inspection, and installation of components like the hood, seat, dash, steering column, counterweight, fuel tanks, and exhaust systems. The only electrical sections are LED light replacement and the operator restraint system (seat belt interlock). If you are tracing a short, get the wiring-specific manual.

Is this a PDF or printed book?

PDF format. 90 pages, searchable, printable. You get immediate access after purchase.

Can I use this for other Hyster models like the S5.5FTS?

Not directly. The manual includes one note about the tow pin removal for S5.5FTS (S80FTBCS, S100), but the rest is specific to the S6.0FT, S7.0FT, S135FT, S155FT frames. Using it on a different model will give you wrong torque specs and part numbers.

If you’re tired of flipping through three different aftermarket documents just to find one bolt torque, this is the file that ends that. Access the Factory Manual and get the Hyster-specified procedure for every repair in the shop.
