Choose a clean, level work area. Make sure you have
sufficient room, clearances, and adequate ventilation.
Clean the walking and working surfaces. Remove oil,
grease and water to eliminate slippery areas. Utilize
sand or oil absorbing compound, as necessary, while
servicing the Telescopic Handler.
Before starting inspection and repair, move the
machine onto a level surface, shut down engine, and
release all hydraulic pressure. Always block the boom
securely, or lower it to full ground contact. Place all
controls in neutral.
Block the wheels. Remove the ignition key. Remove
only guards or covers necessary to provide needed
access. Wipe away excess grease and oil.
Excessively worn or damaged parts can fail and cause
injury or death. Replace any cracked or damaged parts.
Use only genuine Manitou Americas parts for service.
Use care not to damage machined and polished sur-
faces. Clean or replace all damaged or painted-over
plates and decals that cannot be read.
After servicing, check the work performed, that no
parts are left over, etc. Install all guards and covers.
WARNING
DO NOT smoke or allow any open flames in
the area while checking or servicing
hydraulic, battery or fuel systems; all contain
highly flammable liquids or explosive gases,
which can cause an explosion or fire if ignited.
Wear a face shield when disassembling
spring-loaded components or working with
battery acid. Wear a helmet or goggles with
special lenses when welding or cutting with a
torch.
When working beneath a raised machine,
always use blocks, jack-stands or other rigid
and stable supports. Wear appropriate protec-
tive clothing, gloves, and shoes. Keep feet,
clothing, hands and hair away from moving
parts.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles for eye
protection from electric arcs from shorts, flu-
ids under pressure, and flying debris or loose
material when the engine is running or tools
are used for grinding or pounding.
NEVER weld on bucket, forks, boom, support
frame or ROPS/FOPS without the consent of
the manufacturer. These components may be
made with metals that require special welding
techniques, or with designs that do not allow
weld repairs. NEVER cut or weld on fuel lines
or tanks.
If repair welding is ever required, BE SURE to
attach the ground (-) cable from the welder as
close as possible to the area to be repaired.
Also, remove battery positive (+) terminal con-
nection before welding.
Service Every 10 Hours or Daily
WARNING
NEVER leave guards off or access doors open
when the machine is unattended. Keep
bystanders away if access doors are open.
WARNING
Static electricity can produce dangerous
sparks at the fuel-filling nozzle. Do not wear
polyester, or polyester-blend clothing while
fueling. Before fueling, touch the metal sur-
face of the machine away from the fuel fill to
dissipate any built-up static electricity. Do not
re-enter the machine but stay near the fuel fill-
ing point during refueling to minimize the
build-up of static electricity. Do not use cell
phones while fueling. Make sure the static line
is connected from the machine to the fuel
truck before fueling begins.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a
greater static ignition hazard than earlier
diesel formulations. Avoid death or serious
injury from fire or explosion; consult with your
fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure the
entire fuel delivery system is in compliance
with fueling standards for proper grounding
and bonding practices.
