Before starting the engine, make sure the lift truck is
clean. Clean any oil or fuel spills. Check the engine
compartment and clean any dust, paper, lint, oil or
other materials.
WARNING
Do not use combustible agents or sol-
vents for cleaning. Observe the
manufacturer’s cautions regarding ven-
tilation, fire safety and toxicity.
Hydraulic System
Check the hydraulic system for leaks and damage or
loose components, lines and fittings.
CAUTION
Never operate the engine without oil in
the hydraulic system. A few revolutions
without oil can damage the hydraulic
pump.
Check the hydraulic oil level with the carriage low-
ered and the engine OFF. Make sure the oil is at op-
erating temperature. The dipstick has three marks (see
Figure 2). Add oil only as required or oil will flow out
of the breather.

The operating temperature for the hydraulic
oil is 130° to 200° F (54° to 93° C).
Air Cleaner (Item 2)
Clean or replace the air filter as necessary. To clean
the air filter, tap the filter element until dirt is removed
from the element. Do not use compressed air to clean
the filter element. Clean the inside of the cannister

move it to take the reading. Add oil as required, but
do not overfill.
Fuel Filter (Diesel) (Item 4)
Drain the water from the primary filter daily. Open
the valve on the bottom of the filter and drain some
fuel and any water into a cup. Close the valve.
