WARNING
Always wear the proper protective equipment
including eye protection and petroleum re-
sistant gloves when handling oil. Thoroughly
wash oil from exposed areas of skin as soon as
possible.
Never check for leaks by putting hands on
hydraulic lines or components under pressure.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can be injected
into the skin.
Completely lower forks to relieve hydraulic
pressure before disassembling any part of
the lift pump or disconnecting any hydraulic
hoses.
The hydraulic oil is hot at normal operating
temperatures. Be careful when draining the
oil.
CAUTION
Protect the hydraulic system from dirt and
contaminants when servicing the hydraulic
system.
Never operate the pump without the proper
amount of oil in the hydraulic system.
The
operation of the hydraulic pump with low oil
levels will damage the pump.
Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet lo-
cal environmental regulations.

spect for wear or damage. Pack the bearings with
grease and assemble.
Drive Unit Gear Oil - Keep truck level. Place a drip

Hydraulic System - Lower the forks. Remove the
drive unit cover. Remove the reservoir. Empty hy-
draulic oil into a suitable container and discard in ac-
cordance with local regulations. Clean the hydraulic
reservoir using a suitable cleaning solution and dry
