Parking Brake
NOTE:
The parking brake is required to be
adjusted to hold the lift truck with capacity
load on a 15% grade.
If there is a 15% grade in your workplace,
engage a capacity load and drive over to
the grade. If the maximum grade in your
workplace is less than 15% or if the
maximum load carried by the lift truck is
less than the lift truck's load capacity, pick
up the maximum load and drive to the
steepest grade in your workplace.
1.
Raise the forks or load engaging attachment
about 30 cm (12 in) from the floor.
2.
Drive forward up the grade, or in reverse down the
grade, and stop the lift truck with the service
brakes.
3.
Engage the parking brake and release the service
brakes.
4.
If the lift truck moves down the grade, control its
speed with the service brakes, release the parking
brake and return directly to the inspection area.
5.
Park the lift truck, engage the parking brake, shift
the direction control lever to NEUTRAL, lower the
forks or load engaging attachment to the floor,
shut OFF the engine, remove the key, chock the
tires, terminate the inspection, tag the lift truck "Do
Not Operate" and immediately report the failure of
the parking brake to hold the lift truck.
Hydraulic Oil Level – Check
WARNING
At operating temperature, the hydraulic tank is
hot and under pressure.
Hot oil can cause burns.
Remove the filter cap only when the engine is
stopped, and the cap is cool enough to touch
with your bare hand. Remove the filter cap slowly
to relieve pressure.
Operate the lift truck for a few minutes to warm the
oil. Park the lift truck on a level surface, with the forks
lowered, mast tilted back, parking brake engaged,
transmission in NEUTRAL and the engine stopped.
Raise the hood and seat assembly. Make sure the
air lift cylinder securely holds the hood open.
Remove the dip stick/filter cap. Maintain the oil level
to the FULL mark on the dip stick/filter cap.
