Refueling
 Warning
Engine fuel is flammable and
could cause a fire or explosion.
To prevent death or serious
injury, DO NOT smoke while
refueling and keep sparks and open flames away from
the forklift.
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 32°F (0°C)
• Use a blend of #1 and #2 diesel fuel (“winterized” #2
diesel) for operating at temperatures below 32°F (0°C)
• 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
Attachments
Attachment Disclaimer

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 could cause
forklift tip over, loss of load, or structural damage
which could result in death, serious injury, or property
damage.

Fork Ratings

Warning
DO NOT exceed forklift capacity of 12,000
pounds (5,443 kilograms). 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 is listed in U S pounds and based upon a 24
inch (610 mm) 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 (610 mm)
Figure 7-17. Fork Ratings.
(A) Maximum Load Capacity Rating. (B) 24 Inch Load Center.
Because forks are always used in multiples, the total
rating of any combination of forks will be the sum of their
rated capacity Other than block forks, all forks should
be used in matched pairs Block forks should be used in
matched sets
