Choose a clean, level work area. Be sure there is suffi-
cient room, clearances, and adequate ventilation. Clean
the walking and working surfaces. Remove oil, grease
and water to eliminate slippery areas. Use sand or oil
absorbing compound, as necessary, while servicing the
Telescopic Handler.
Before starting inspection and repair, move the
machine onto a level surface, shut down engine, and
release all hydraulic pressure. Always block the boom
securely, or lower it to full ground contact. Place all
controls in neutral.
Block the tires. Turn off the master disconnect switch
to shut off power from the battery, and remove the igni-
tion key. Remove only guards or covers that provide
needed access. Wipe away excess grease and oil.
Excessively worn or damaged parts can fail and cause
injury or death. Replace any cracked or damaged parts.
Care should be taken to assure that all replacement
parts are interchangeable with original parts and of
equal quality.
Use care not to damage machined and polished sur-
faces. Clean or replace all plates and decals that are
damaged or painted over and cannot be read.
After servicing, check the work performed, no parts
left over, etc. Install all guards, covers, and turn on the
master disconnect switch and to activate battery power.
CHECKING FUEL TANK LEVEL
The fuel level is shown by the fuel level gauge. After
operation each day, the fuel tank should be filled to
prevent water from condensing in the tank. To fill,
remove the filler cap and add fuel.
A drain plug is provided in the bottom of the fuel tank
for removing condensation and other foreign materials.
Open the plug and allow water and fuel to drain into a
container until only clear fuel is flowing from the tank.
CHECKING FUEL FILTER
Check the fuel filters (C) and (D) for water or debris.
If filter is fitted with a see-through bowl, drain as need-
ed based on a daily visual inspection. See illustration
on the next page.
IMPORTANT: Drain water into a suitable contain-
er and dispose of properly.
a. Loosen drain plugs (A) at bottom of fuel filters or
bowls, if equipped, two or three turns.
b. Loosen air bleed plug (B) two full turns on fuel
filter mounting and drain water from bottom until
WARNING
DO NOT smoke or allow any open flames in
the area while checking or servicing
hydraulic, battery or fuel systems; all contain
highly flammable liquids or explosive gases,
which can cause an explosion or fire if ignited.
Wear a face shield when disassembling
spring-loaded components or working with
battery acid. Wear a helmet or goggles with
special lenses when welding or cutting with a
torch.
When working beneath a raised machine,
always use blocks, jack-stands or other rigid
and stable supports. Wear appropriate protec-
tive clothing, gloves, and shoes. Keep feet,
clothing, hands and hair away from moving
parts.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles for eye
protection from electric arcs from shorts, flu-
ids under pressure, and flying debris or loose
material when the engine is running or tools
are used for grinding or pounding.
NEVER weld on bucket, forks, boom, support
frame or ROPS/FOPS without the consent of
the manufacturer. These components may be
made with metals that require special welding
techniques, or with designs that do not allow
weld repairs. NEVER cut or weld on fuel lines
or tanks.
If repair welding is ever required, BE SURE to
attach the ground (-) cable from the welder as
close as possible to the area to be repaired.
Also, remove positive (+) battery terminal
connection before welding.
Service Every 10 Hours or Daily
WARNING
NEVER leave guards off or access doors open
when the machine is unattended. Keep
bystanders away if access doors are open.
