Operating LPG-Powered
Forklifts
Starting the Engine (LPG Models)
1. Turn the outflow valve of the tank counterclockwise to open
it.
2. Be sure that the pipe valve is open.
3. Turn on the LPG switch and make certain that it comes on.
It must be left in that position for starting the engine and dur-
ing use of the forklift.
4. Without depressing the accelerator pedal, set the engine
switch to the START position to turn the starter on. If it
should be difficult to start up the engine, press the fuel injec-
tion switch for 2 or 3 seconds. Then, restart the engine.
CAUTION!
Never depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly or hold it down
completely during starting. The engine will not start easily.
5. Wait for an initial ignition of the engine, and depress the
accelerator pedal lightly. Wait for the engine to start running,
and set the engine switch to the “I” (ON) position.
6. Let the engine idle for 5 to 6 minutes.
CAUTION!
Never depress the accelerator pedal completely. It will send an
extra amount of LPG and its heat of vaporization may freeze
the regulator and damage the engine.
