Before Storage
Before storing your lift truck, clean and inspect as
the following procedures.
¥ Wipe away grease, oil, etc. adhering to the body
of the truck with waste cloth, and use water, if
needed.
¥ While cleaning the truck, check general condition
of the truck. Especially check the truck body for
dents or damage and tires for wear or nails or
stones in the tread.
¥ Fill the fuel tank with fuel specified.
¥ Check for leakage of hydraulic oil, engine oil, fuel,
or coolant, etc.
¥ Apply grease, where needed.
¥ Check for looseness of nuts and bolts, especially
hub nuts.
¥ Check mast rollers to see that they rotate smooth-
ly.
¥ Prime the oil into the lift cylinders by actuating the
lift lever all the way several times.
¥ Drain off coolant completely in cold weather, if
antifreeze is not used.
Long Time Storage
Perform the following service and checks in addi-
tion to the ÒParking the lift truckÓ services.
¥ Taking the rainy season into consideration, park
the machine at a higher and hard ground.
¥ Avoid parking on soft grounds such as an asphalt
ground in summer.
¥ Dismount the battery from the machine.
Even though the machine is parked indoors, if
the place is hot or humid, the battery should be
kept in a dry, cool place. Charge the battery once
a month.
¥ Apply antirust to the exposed parts which tend to
rust.
¥ Cover components such as the breather and air
cleaner which may be caught with humidity.
¥ The machine should be operated at least once a
week. Fill the cooling system, if cooling water is
discharged, and mount the battery. Start the
engine and warm up thoroughly. Move the
machine a little forwards and backwards. Operate
the hydraulic controls several times.
To Operate the Lift Truck After

hydraulic oil tank and fuel tank.
