It is also used as check before operation.
1. Check leaks
：
electrolyte, hydraulic oil,
brake fluid, coolant, and oil in hydraulic
transmission gear box.
Warning
DO NOT operate truck if leaked fuel is
found following pre-operational checks.
Correct the leak before starting engine.
Check the engine, hydraulic pipe connector,
radiator and driving system for leaks by
touching and visual inspection. DO NOT use
an open flame to check levels.
2. Check appearance
Visually check the lamps and meters for
problems.
Check the tires, tire pressure and the entire
truck for loose bolts
Check if the tyre is damaged, tyre pressure is
normal.
3. Check fuel mass
A fuel level gauge is provided on the indicator
panel. Make sure the fuel level is sufficient for
the day‘s work. The fuel filler port is located at
the rear left pillar of the overhead guard.
4. Engine oil level check
Caution
·When checking the engine oil, place forklift
truck on level ground.
·
Check engine oil when the engine is cool.
Remove the dipstick, clean the rod and
reinstall. Pull it out again and check the oil
level. The level should be within the marks on
the dipstick
5. Check engine coolant
Inspect the small reservoir tank to see if the
coolant level is between Min and Max
position when the engine is cool. If is lower
than ―MIN‖, add to ―MAX‖. If there is no
coolant in the reservoir tank, check radiator
coolant level. If insufficient, add coolant to
radiator until to the radiator cap, its freezing
point is -36.5°C, and fill reservoir tank with
coolant to ―MAX‖ position.
Caution
Add clean water to radiator. If you use
antifreeze, make sure you use the same
brand of antifreeze.
Pay attention to water reservoir and cooling
system in the hot season.
Warning
When the water temperature of the
engine is higher than 70 degrees
Celsius, do not open the pressure cap of
the radiator. Loosen cap slowly to allow
steam to escape. After that, tighten cap
securely. It is good practice to use a thick
waste cloth or the like when removing the
cap.
Do not wear glove when removing
radiator cap. You may get burnt on your
hand if hot water splashes on it.
Antifreeze is harmful to a person, if
swallowed, disgorge at once and go to
hospital.
Keep antifreeze away from children.
