Fuel
The current regulations of exhaust emissions, require that, for the whole life of the
machine, the level on the different components of these emissions, are under the
maximum figures stated on the regulations.
As a consequence of that, the maintenance plan of the engine has to be followed up
carefully, giving special attention to the quality and pureness of the fuel, the cleanliness
of the filters and, in general, to the general maintenance of the fuel circuit.
Handling
- Only use the fuel type authorized by AUSA. Do not use fuel mixed with oil, other
fuels or unsuitable additives.
- The correct fuel for the forklift is diesel. For further details regarding fuel type and
required specifications see the section FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS.
- Do not allow the fuel to come into contact with the skin and avoid inhaling the
fumes, which are toxic. High concentrations of fuel vapour may cause sickness,
loss of consciousness or even loss of life in the event of prolonged exposure.
If you experience symptoms such as sickness or loss of consciousness seek
medical advice immediately.
- Do not store fuel in closed places. The fuel vapours will alter the atmosphere of
the enclosure and may cause a fire or explosion.
- Use suitable impermeable clothing, safety glasses and gloves when handling
fuel. When refuelling from a tank, bucket or barrel using a siphon, the following
precautions should be taken.
- If refuelling is by gravity, from a raised tank, open the fuel output valve of the tank
slowly.
- If the tank or barrel does not have an output valve use a suitable vacuum pump.
WARNING
Never suck the fuel into the pipe by mouth to start the siphoning. Fuel and its
vapours are highly toxic.
- In the event of fuel spillage, please inform the supervisor, mark the area suitably
and cover the spillage with absorbent material.
- Take suitable measures to avoid risk until the remains of the fuel have been
completely removed.
