INTRODUCTION
- Our lift trucks have been designed for easy handling by the operator and maximum ease of maintenance for the mechanic.
- However, before commencing to operate the lift truck, the user should carefully read and understand the various chapters of
this manual which has been provided to solve driving and maintenance problems. By following these instructions the user will
be able to take full advantage of the versatility of this lift truck.
- The operator must familiarize himself with the positions and functions of all the controls and instruments before operating the
lift truck.
Do not attempt to start a new lift truck before the following checks have been carried out :
LUBRICATION
- Check that all the correct grades of oils and greases that are required are available ; see chapter : SERVICING SCHEDULE in
paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE and top up if necessary.
For operation under average climatic conditions, i.e. : between -15 °C and + 35 °C, correct levels of lubricants in all the
circuits are checked in production. For operation under more severe climatic conditions, before starting up, it is necessary to
drain all the circuits, then ensure correct levels of lubricants using lubricants properly suited to the relevant ambient
temperatures. It is the same for the cooling liquid (Contact your dealer for information, if necessary).
DRY AIR FILTER
- Ensure that the air filter is undamaged and not blocked.
- Tighten the fastening devices if necessary.
Never run the I.C. engine with the air filter removed or damaged.
COOLING SYSTEM
- Do not start the lift truck without checking the radiator coolant level or if the fan belt is damaged or broken.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
- Check by a visual examination that there are no leaks or oil oozing in the hoses, connections and unions. If necessary, tighten
or repair the defective connections.
- Also check that the tank oil level is correct.
BRAKING SYSTEM
- Check by a visual examination that there are no leaks or oil oozing in the hoses, connections and unions. If necessary, tighten
or repair the defective connections.
- Also check the oil level in the tank.
Ensure that the recommended oil is used, in order to avoid serious damage to the braking system.
TYRES

paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE) and that the tyre pressures are correct (See chapter : CHARACTERISTICS in paragraph :
2 - DESCRIPTION).
