AINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
A - GENERAL
- Read the operator's manual carefully and ensure you understand it.
- Stop the I.C. engine and remove the ignition key, when an intervention is necessary.
- Wear clothes suitable for the maintenance of the lift truck, avoid wearing jewellery and loose clothes. Tie and protect your hair,
if necessary.
- Ensure the area is sufficiently ventilated before starting the lift truck.
Make sure that the disposal of process materials and of spare parts is carried out in total safety and in a ecological way.
- Carry out all repairs immediately, even if the repairs concerned are minor.
- Repair all leaks immediately, even if the leak concerned is minor.
- Do not attempt to loosen unions, hoses or any hydraulic component with the circuit under pressure.
The handling and removal of the balancing valves or safety valves which may be fitted to the cylinders of your lift truck can
be dangerous. A balancing valve must only be removed when the cylinder concerned is without load and the hydraulic circuit
is depressurised. THIS OPERATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL.
- Do not smoke or approach the lift truck with a flame, when the fuel tank is open or is being filled.
- Take care not to burn yourself (Exhaust, radiator, I.C. engine, etc.).
- Disconnect the negative cable terminal (-) from the top of the battery before working on the electrical circuit or on the lift truck
(e.g. : Welding).
- Do not drop metallic items on the battery.
- When carrying out electric welding work on the lift truck, connect the negative cable from the equipment directly to the part
being welded, so as to avoid high tension current passing through the alternator.
- Never carry out welding or work which gives off heat on an assembled tyre. The heat would increase the pressure which could
cause the tyre to explode.
If the lift truck is equipped with an electronic control unit, disconnect this before starting to weld, to avoid the risk of causing
irreparable damage to electronic components.
Do not short-circuit the starter terminals to start the lift truck. If the reverse gear is not in neutral, the lift truck will start to
move immediately.
B - MAINTENANCE
- The maintenance and the keeping in compliance of the lift truck are compulsory.
- Carry out daily maintenance (See chapter : A - DAILY OR EVERY 10 HOURS SERVICE in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE).
- Do not run the I.C. engine without air filter, or with oil, water or fuel leaks.
To avoid any risk of spraying or burning, wait until the engine has cooled down before removing the cooling circuit filler plug.
- Change the filter cartridges (See servicing schedules in chapter : FILTERS CARTRIDGES AND BELTS in paragraph : 3
- MAINTENANCE).
C - LEVELS
- Use the recommended lubricants (Never use contaminated lubricants).
- Do not fill the fuel tank when the I.C. engine is running.
- Only fill up the fuel tank in areas specified for this purpose.
- Do not fill the fuel tank to the maximum level.
