Maintenance Information
Perform all maintenance unless otherwise specified
as follows :
¥
Park the lift truck in authorized areas only.
¥
Park the lift truck level, with the forks lowered and
the mast tilted forward until the fork tips touch the
floor.
¥
Place the transmission controls in neutral.
¥
Engage the parking brake.
¥
Stop the engine.
¥
Remove the start switch key and turn the discon-
nect switch OFF (if equipped).
¥
Block the drive wheels when parking on an incline.
Pressure Air
Pressure air can cause personal infury. When using
pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face
shield, protective clothing and protective shoes.
The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa
(30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Fluid Penetration
Always use a board or cardboard when checking for
a leak. Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pin-
hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing
serious injury, and possible death. If fluid is injected
into your skin, it must be treated by a doctor famil-
iar with this type of injury immediately.
Crushing or Cutting Prevention
Support equipment and attachments properly when
working beneath them. Do not depend on hydraulic
cylinders to hold it up. Any attachment can fall if a
control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Never attempt adjustments while the lift truck is
moving or the engine is running unless otherwise
specified.
Where there are attachment linkages, the clearance
in the linkage area will increase or decrease with
movement of the attachment.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades.
They will throw or cut any object or tool that falls or
is pushed into them.
Do not use a kinked or frayed wire rope cable. Wear
gloves when handling the wire rope cable.
Retainer pins, when struck with force, can fly out
and injure nearby persons. Make sure the area is
clear of people when driving retainer pins.
Wear protective glasses when striking a retainer pin
to avoid injury to your eyes.
Chips or other debris can fly off objects when
struck. Make sure no one can be injured by flying
debris before striking any object.
Falling Objects Protective Structure(FOPS)
This is an attached guard located above the opera-
tor's compartment and secured to the lift truck.
To avoid possible weakening of the Falling Objects
Protective Structure (FOPS), consult a DAEWOO
dealer before altering, by adding weight to, welding
on, or cutting or drilling holes into the structure.
The overhead guard is not intended to protect
against every possible impact. The overhead guard
may not protect against some objects penetrating
into the operator's station from the sides or ends of
the lift truck.
The lift truck is equipped with an overhead guard
and FOPS as standard. If there is a possibility of
overhead objects falling through the guard, the
guard must be equipped with smaller holes or a
plexiglass cover.
Any altering done that is not specifically authorized
by DAEWOO invalidates DAEWOO's FOPS certifi-
cation. The protection offered by this FOPS will be
impaired if it has been subjected to structural dam-
age. Structural damage can be caused by an over-
turn accident, by falling objects, etc.
Do not mount any item such as fire extinguishers,
first aid kits and lights by welding brackets to or
drilling holes in any FOPS structure. See your DAE-
WOO dealer for mounting guidelines.
