Fire or Explosion Prevention
All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are
flammable.
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical
components can cause a fire.
Do not smoke while refueling or in a refueling area.
Do not smoke in areas where batteries are charged, or
where flammable materials are stored.
Batteries in series can be located in separate
compartments.
When using jumper cables always connect positive(+)
cable to positive(+) terminal of battery connected to
starter solenoid and negative(-) cable from external
source to starter negative(-) terminal.
(If not equipped with starter negative(-) terminal, connect
to engine block.)
See the Operation Section of this manual for specific
starting instructions.
Clean and tighten all electrical connections. Check daily
for loose or frayed electrical wires. Have all loose or
frayed electrical wires tightened, repaired or replaced
before operation the lift truck.
Keep all fuels and lubricants stored in properly marked
containers and away from all unauthorized persons.
Store all oily rags or other flammable material in a
protective container, in a safe place.
Do not weld or flame cut on pipes or tubes that contain
flammable fluids. Clean them thoroughly with
nonflammable solvent before welding or flame cutting on
them.
Remove all flammable materials such as fuel, oil and
other debris before they accumulate on the lift truck.
Do not expose the lift truck to flames, burning brush, etc.,
if at all possible.
Shields, which protect hot exhaust components from oil
or fuel spray in the event of a line, tube or seal failure,
must be installed correctly.
Do not operate in areas where explosive gases exist or
are suspected.
Do perform the regeneration of aftertreatment, hot
exhaust gas is emitted, in a safe outdoor environment.
Fire Extinguisher
Have a fire extinguisher-type BC and 1.5KG minimum
capacity-on rear overhead guard leg with latch and know
how to use it. Inspect and have it serviced as
recommended on its instruction plate.
Ether
Ether is poisonous and flammable.
Breathing ether vapors or repeated contact of ether with
skin can cause personal injury.
Use ether only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not smoke while changing ether cylinders.
Use ether with care to avoid fires.
Do not store replacement ether cylinders in living areas
or in the operator's compartment.
Do not store ether cylinders in direct sunlight or at
temperatures above 39°C (102°F).
Discard cylinders in a safe place. Do not puncture or burn
cylinders.
Keep ether cylinders out of the reach of unauthorized
personnel.
Lines, Tubes and Hoses
Do not bend or strike high pressure lines. Do not install
bent or damaged lines, tubes or hoses.
Repair any loose or damaged fuel and oil lines, tubes and
hoses. Leaks can cause fires. Contact your DOOSAN
dealer for repair or replacement.
Check lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not use your
bare hand to check for leaks. Use a board or cardboard
to check for leaks. See Fluid Penetration in the Safety
Section for more details. Tighten all connections to the
recommended torque. Replace if any of the following
conditions are found.
End fittings damaged or leaking.
Outer covering chafed or cut and wire reinforcing
exposed.
Outer covering ballooning locally.
Evidence of kinking or crushing of the flexible part of
hose.
Armoring embedded in the outer cover.
End fittings displaced.
Make sure that all clamps, guards and heat shields are
installed correctly to prevent vibration, rubbing against
other parts, and excessive heat during operation.
