Air Filter (See FIGURE 11.)
WARNING
Compressed air can move particles so that they cause
injury to the user or to other personnel. Make sure that
the path of the compressed air is away from all person-
nel. Wear protective goggles or a face shield to prevent
injury to the eyes.
Clean or replace the air filter as necessary. Use com-
pressed air to clean the filter element. Air pressure must
be less than 210 kPa (30 psi). Apply the air from the in-
side to the outside of the element.
WARNING
Cleaning solvents can be flammable and toxic, and can
cause skin irritation. When using cleaning solvents, al-
ways follow the recommendations of the manufacturer.
To inspect the element, put a bright light inside and look
for holes or other damage. If the element is damaged, re-
place it with a new element. Use a cloth with solvent to
clean the inside of the canister when the filter element is
cleaned or replaced.
Fuel System
WARNING
All fuels are very flammable and can burn or cause an
explosion. Do not use an open flame to check the fuel
level or for leaks in the fuel system. If there is a leak
in the fuel system, extra care must be used during the
repair. Do not operate the lift truck until a leak is re-
paired.
Check the fuel system for leaks and the condition of parts.
When fuel is added to the lift truck, see the section
How
To Add Fuel To The Lift Truck

ATING MANUAL.
