Explosive fumes may be present during refueling.
Do not smoke in refueling areas.
Lift truck should be refueled only at designated
safe locations. Safe outdoor locations are
preferable to those indoors.
Stop the engine and get off the lift truck during
refueling.
NOTICE
Do not allow the lift truck to become low on fuel
or completely run out of fuel. Sediment or other
impurities in the fuel tank could be drawn into
the fuel system. This could result in difficult
starting or damage to components.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation
to drive out moisture laden air and to prevent con-
densation. In the cold weather, the moisture con-
densation can cause rust in the fuel system and
hard starting due to it's freezing. Do not fill the tank
to the top. Fuel expands when it gets warm and
may overflow.
1. Park the lift truck only at a designated safe loca-
tion. Place the transmission in NEUTRAL. Lower
the forks to the ground. Engage the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
2. Remove the filler cap.
3. Fill the fuel tank slowly. Install the filler cap. If
spillage occurs, wipe off excess fuel and wash
down area with water.
NOTE : Drain water and sediment from fuel tank as
required by prevailing conditions. Also, drain water
and sediment from the main fuel storage tank week-
ly and before the tank is refilled. This will help pre-
vent water or sediment being pumped from the
storge tank into the lift truck fuel tank.
