Usage:
RT50, RTC60 (4XG524-Up, 5PF694-Up) RT50 SA (8DJ496-Up) RT60 (5DG357-Up) Telescopic Material Handlers
SPECIAL NOTE: The RT60 (5DG357-Up) will have a hydraulic boosted brake system installed at production. With the hydraulic boosted brakes, the inching function is lost. Earlier production RT60's can be retrofitted with either the large capacity master cylinder or the boosted system. The retrofit of the boosted system will be explained in a separate article.
A larger capacity master cylinder is being installed at production on the above models. The new 6R-9050 Master Cylinder provides improved pedal feel and eliminates brake pedal bottoming. This master cylinder can be retrofitted to older lift trucks. See Chart for usage.
There are two different retrofit kits in the parts system. See Illustration 1 and 2 and the following charts for usage.
