Dry nitrogen (N
2
) gas is recommended for inflation of
tires. If the tires were originally inflated with air,
nitrogen is still preferred for adjusting the pressure.
Nitrogen mixes properly with air.
Nitrogen inflated tires reduce the potential of a tire
explosion, because nitrogen does not support
combustion. Also, nitrogen helps prevent oxidation
and the resulting deterioration of rubber and
corrosion of rim components.
Proper nitrogen inflation equipment and training in its
use are necessary to avoid over-inflation. A tire
blowout or rim failure can result from improper or
misused equipment.
Stand behind the tread and use a self-attaching
chuck when inflation a tire.
Servicing, changing tires and rims can be dangerous
and should be done only by trained personnel using
proper tools and procedures. If correct procedures
are not followed while servicing tires and rims, the
assemblies could burst with explosive force and
cause serious personal injury or death. Follow
carefully the specific information provided by your
tire or rim servicing personnel or dealer.
DOOSAN forklift is equipped with wheels from
different manufacturers.
Please re-use the original parts of the existing wheel,
if there is no deformation of the wheel after checked.
Mixing up new and old parts may cause incomplete
assembly that might lead to unexpected
dismantlement of parts and accident.

Warning Signs and Labels
Your DOOSAN forklift has the following tipover
warning decals.
Make sure that you can read all safety signs. Clean
or replace these if you cannot read the words or see
the pictures. When cleaning the labels use a cloth,

You must replace a label if it is damaged, missing or
cannot be read. If a label is on a part that is replaced,
make sure a new label is installed on the replaced

injury or death to yourself or others is to familiarize
yourself with the proper operation of the lift truck, to
be alert, and to avoid actions or conditions which can
result in an accident.
