flames away from the forklift.
Warning
Refueling
Operation
NOTE: The fuel tank capacity is 72 gallons.
1. Make sure the forklift is level to obtain an accurate fuel
level reading.
2. Shut off the engine.
3. Ground the fuel nozzle against the filler neck to avoid
sparks.
Fuel Types
Use ASTM #2 diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane rating of
40 for better fuel economy and performance under most
operating conditions.
•
Use standard #2 diesel fuel for operating at temperatures
above 320 F.
•
Use a blend of #1 and #2 diesel fuel (“winterized” #2
diesel) for operating at temperatures below 320 F.
•
Fuels with Cetane ratings higher than 40 may be needed
in higher altitude or an extremely low temperature
climate to prevent misfiring and excessive smoke.
Attachment Disclaimer
Attachments
Warning
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated
load for any auxiliary attachment. Any
attempt to lift or carry loads in excess of the
manufacturer’s rated load may cause forklift
tip over, loss of load, or structural damage
which could result in death, serious injury, or property
damage.
Xtreme Manufacturing makes no representations or warranties,
expressed or implied, as to the design, manufacture, or fitness
for use with this forklift of any third party attachment. This
forklift is not intended to be used and should not be used
with an attachment that would alter the center of gravity or
stability of this forklift. Xtreme Manufacturing assumes no
liability for any third party attachment that would alter the
center of gravity or stability.
Fork Ratings
Warning
DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 12,000
pounds. The total rated capacity of the forks
being used must equal or exceed forklift
capacity. Forks can break causing loss of load
and could result in death or serious injury.
All approved forks for this forklift are marked with a maximum
load capacity rating (A). This rating is stamped on the left edge
of the fork just below the fork pivot shaft. The rating listed is in
U.S. pounds and is based upon a 24 inch load center (B). This
rating specifies the maximum load capacity that the individual
fork can safely carry at a maximum load center of 24 inches.
Pintle Hook
Death or serious injury could result from im-
proper operation when using tow connection.
Do not elevate boom above 30 degrees when
towing. Do not exceed rated tow capacity
(500 lbs vertical load, 5000 lbs tow capacity).
The Pintle Hook is used for towing trailers and equipment, rat-
ed at or below 5,000 lbs maximum capacity. Failure to comply
with this capacity limitation, or elevating the boom above 30
degrees when towing could result in death or serious injury.
