Maintenance Information
Perform all maintenance unless otherwise specified
as follows:
z
Park the lift truck in authorized areas only.
z
Park the lift truck level, with the forks lowered and
the mast tilted forward until the fork tips touch the
floor.
z
Place the transmission controls in neutral.
z
Engage the parking brake.
z
Stop the engine.
z
Remove the start switch key and turn the
disconnect switch OFF (if equipped).
z
Block the drive wheels when parking on an
incline.
Pressure Air
Pressure air can cause personal injury. When using
pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face
shield, protective clothing and protective shoes.
The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa
(30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Fluid Penetration
Always use a
board or cardboard when checking
for a leak. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a
pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue,
causing serious injury, and possible death. If fluid is
injected into your skin, it must be treated by a
doctor familiar with this type
of injury immediately.
Crushing or Cutting Prevention
Support equipment and attachments properly when
working beneath them. Do not depend on hydraulic
cylinders to hold it up. Any attachment can fall if a
control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Never attempt adjustments while the lift truck is
moving or the engine is running unless otherwise
specified.
Where there are attachment linkages, the
clearance in the linkage area will increase or
decrease with movement of the attachment.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades.
They will throw or cut any object or tool that falls or
is pushed into them.
Do not use a kinked or frayed wire rope cable.
Wear gloves when handling the wire rope cable.
Retainer pins, when struck with force, can fly out
and injure nearby persons. Make sure the area is
clear of people when driving retainer pins.
Wear protective glasses when striking a retainer pin
to avoid injury to your eyes.
Chips or other debris can fly off objects when struck.
Make sure no one can be injured by flying debris
before striking any object.
Falling Objects Protective Structure (FOPS)
This is an attached guard located above the
operator's compartment and secured to the lift
truck.
To avoid possible weakening of the Falling Objects
Protective Structure (FOPS), consult a DAEWOO
dealer before altering, by adding weight to, welding
on, or cutting or drilling holes into the structure.
The overhead guard is not intended to protect
against every possible impact. The overhead guard
may not protect against some objects penetrating
into the operator's station from the sides or ends of
the lift truck.
The lift truck is equipped with an overhead guard
and FOPS as standard. If there is a possibility of
overhead objects falling through the guard, the
guard must be equipped with smaller holes or a
Plexiglas cover.
Any altering done that is not specifically authorized
by DAEWOO invalidates DAEWOO's FOPS
certification. The protection offered by this FOPS
will be impaired if it has been subjected to structural
damage. Structural damage can be caused by an
overturn accident, by falling objects, etc.
Do not mount any item such as fire extinguishers,
first aid kits and lights by welding brackets to or
drilling holes in any FOPS structure. See your
DAEWOO dealer for mounting guidelines.
