gearbox and the axle should be removed or the vehicle should be shipped.
(9) If the vehicle pulls up and the engine and gearbox linked to it are still running, the
engine stalling is not allowed.
2.4 Maintenance
(1) Oil filling
The proper amount of oil stipulated should be filled before the gearbox is used.
For the first filling, the oil storage volume of the external components such as filter,
oil pipe and cooler etc should be considered, so the oil filled this time should be a bit
more than that for future.
The engine should be kept at idle speed state when filling in oil, or the oil of the
higher components such as torque converter and cooler etc will flow into gearbox, the
oil level will be higher than the normal one and the height of oil level is not easy to be
controlled.
The oil level height must be controlled according to the scale of oil gauge.
When the oil temperature is about 40
o
C, the oil level should be in the lower scale
of the oil gauge and when the oil temperature is about 80
o
C, the oil level should be at
the upper scale of the oil gauge.
(2) Oil temperature control
When the forklift is in operation, the driver should pay attention to the oil
temperature of the gearbox. The oil temperature of gearbox for normal working is
usually between 80
o
C to 110
o
C and can reach120
o
C instantaneously. If the oil
temperature exceeds 120
o
C, stop it to check. Control the rotation speed of engine at
1200-1500rpm and put the gearbox at idle position. The temperature should decrease
to the normal value within 2-3 minutes under the normal condition. Otherwise, it
indicates that there are problems in the system and it can only be used again after the
troubles are eliminated.
(3) Oil pressure control
