8000 SRM 707
Maintenance Procedures Every 2000 Hours or Yearly
CAUTION
Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet lo-
cal environmental regulations.
NOTE:
Change the oil filter for the transmission at
the first 100 hours of operation on new lift trucks.
Before removing the oil filter, make a hole at the top
of the filter and allow 5 minutes for the oil to drain
down into the transmission. This will reduce the oil
that will run out of the filter and onto the transmis-
sion when the filter is removed.
1.
Change oil and filter for transmission. The drain
plug for the transmission is on the cover of the
transmission, toward the rear of the lift truck.
Remove drain plug, spring, and screen. Drain oil
into a container. See Figure 37.

rect oil is shown in the Maintenance Schedule.

COOLING SYSTEM
1.
Change coolant in cooling system. Put lift truck
on a level surface. Stop engine.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the radiator cap from the ra-
diator when the engine is hot. When the radi-
ator cap is removed, the pressure is released
from the system. If the system is hot, the steam
and boiling coolant can cause burns. DO NOT
remove the cover for the radiator when the en-
gine is running.
CAUTION
Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet lo-
cal environmental regulations.
2.
Open drain valve and remove radiator cap. Drain
coolant into a container. Flush cooling system.
Check hoses and fittings for damage. Replace
with new hoses and fittings as needed.
3.
Close drain valve. Fill cooling system with the
correct coolant (50% water and 50% ethylene gly-
col boron free anti-freeze).
4.
Install radiator cap. Start engine. Check for
leaks. Add coolant to auxiliary coolant reservoir
as needed.
SERVICE BRAKES
Check brake lining and parts of brake assembly for
wear or damage. See Brake System 1800 SRM 506
for the removal and installation procedures of the
drive wheels and brake drums. If the brake linings
or brake shoes are worn or damaged, they must be
replaced. Brake shoes must be replaced in complete
sets. Inspect brake drums for cracks or damage. Re-
place any damaged parts.
