TELESCOPING CIRCUIT:
- Star t up the lift truck and raise the jib as far as it will go, extending the telescope(s) completely.
- With the I.C. engine running at mid- speed, retract the telescope(s). When retracting the jib, switch off the I.C. engine; movement
should slow down as the I.C. engine speed falls and stop when the I.C. engine stops.
TILT CIRCUIT:
- Place the nominal load on the forks, anchor it correctly to prevent it from falling off during the test.
- Star t up the lift truck and tilt the carriage backwards, lifting the jib sufficiently to allow the carriage to tilt.
- With the I.C. engine running at mid-speed, tilt the carriage for wards. While it is tilting, switch off the I.C. engine; movement should
slow down as the I.C. engine speed falls and stop when the I.C. engine stops.

- Lift up protective casing 1 (fig. D8).
- Lift out cabin ventilation filter 2 (fig. D8).
- Clean the filter with a compressed air jet.
- Check its condition and change if necessar y (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: FILTERS
CARTRIDGES AND BELTS).
- Refit the filter and protective casing.
D9 - BATTERY ELECTROLYTE DENSITY
CHECK
The electrolyte density varies depending on the temperature concerned, but a minimum of
1260 at 16°C must be maintained. In the shaded area (fig. D9), the batter y is in a normal
charge condition. Readings above this zone indicate that the batter y needs to be
recharged.
The density should not var y more than 0.025 units between cells.
- Check the electrolyte density in each batter y cell using a hydrometer.
- Do not carr y out this check immediately after topping up with distilled water. Recharge
the batter y for at least an hour before checking the batter y electrolyte density.
Handling and servicing a battery can be dangerous, take the following precautions:
- Wear protective goggles.
- Keep the battery horizontal.
- Never smoke or work near a naked flame.
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- In the event of electrolyte being spilled onto the skin or splashed in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with cold water for 15 minutes and
call a doctor.
