Checking Coolant Level
For your own safety and to assure the long life of your
machine, a careful check should be made before each
operation.
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Place the machine on a firm, flat and level
surface, lower the lift arms slowly to the ground
and stop the engine.
A
Do not open the radiator cap right after the
engine has been stopped; Serious burns can
occur from contact with escaping hot coolant
fluid.
A
Check the coolant level in the recovery tank
only after the engine has cooled down.
A Remove the radiator cap only if absolutely
necessary.
1. Check to see that the coolant level is between the
"FULL" and "LOW" marks of recovery tank.
2. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only up to the full level.
In case of leakage, add anti-freeze and water in the
specified mixing ratio up to the full level.
A
Do not fill the recovery tank over the "FULL" marking.
A
Do not fill with dirty or salty water.
B
Checking Fuel Level
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Stop the engine and remove the key before
fueling.
A
Do not smoke while fueling.
A For temperatures over -5 , use No.2-D diesel fuel,
when temperatures are under -5 , use No.1-D diesel
fuel.
A Make sure that the fuel tank will not run empty. Air will
enter the fuel system, and must be purged before
restarting engine.
A
Be very attentive to the remaining fuel for the engine
not to stall. If the engine stalls, it may fail to get
restarted for a while to protect the emission purifying
device.
A
See "PURGING OF THE FUEL SYSTEM" in "OTHER
ADJUSTMENTS AND REPLACEMENTS" section.
