Engine overheating
If the engine overheats and the engine temperature warning light on the control panel
lights up, try the following:
- Check and clean the radiator coolant blades. See the section PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS in this Operator’s and Safety Manual.
- Slow down the speed but keep the forklift moving in order to allow air to circulate
around the radiator.
- If the engine is still overheating after approximately one minute, stop driving the
forklift, set the forward / backwards directional travel control switch to neutral,
apply the parking brake and stop the engine.
WARNING
The radiator may be extremely hot. Use gloves before touching the radiator.
- Allow the engine to cool down. Check the coolant level and refill if necessary.
- If the engine continues to overheated, pls. contact to an authorized AUSA dealer
as soon as possible.
After-use care
When the forklift is used in salt water areas (beach areas, etc.), rinse the machine
with fresh water to protect the forklift and its components from rust. We recommend
lubricating the metal components. This should be carried out at the end of every day
after using the forklift.
When the forklift has been working in muddy areas, it should be washed with fresh water
to protect the forklift and keep the lights clean.
Note: Never use high-pressure water to clean the forklift. ONLY USE LOW-PRESSURE
WATER. High-pressure water may cause electrical and mechanical damage.
Rolling over (fig. 1)
In the event of the machine rolling over it is important that the driver avoids being caught
between the machine and the ground.
To prevent this we recommend:
1. Try to remain within the seated operator area / cabin.
2. Grasp the steering wheel firmly.
3. Push feet, firmly, against the ground floor of the cabin.
4. Try to keep as far away from the point of impact as possible.
