Safety Labels
WARNING
Safety labels are installed on the lift truck to pro-
vide information about possible hazards. It is im-
portant that all safety labels are installed on the
lift truck and can be read.
Check that all safety labels are installed in the cor-
rect locations on the lift truck. See the Parts Man-
ual or the service manual section Frame
0100SRM1342 for the correct locations of the safety
labels.
Steering Column Adjustments
Make sure the steering column adjustment features
are functioning properly. If lift truck is equipped
with the optional telescoping steering column,
make sure the tilt memory and telescoping features
are operating correctly. The tilt memory lever must
NOT allow the column to move unless the tilt
memory lever is released. See Figure 9.
Tilt Adjust Feature
The column tilt angle should be locked in position
whenever the tilt position lever is released. Use
multipurpose grease as shown in the Maintenance
Schedule and lubricate the lever and pivots as nee-
ded.
Tilt Memory Feature
After the tilt memory lever is released, tilt the col-
umn down until the column locks into position. The
column should remain locked in place and NOT
move. Use multipurpose grease as shown in the
Maintenance Schedule and lubricate the lever and
pivots as needed.
Telescopic Feature
NOTE: DO NOT use multipurpose grease to lubri-
cate the sliding surfaces of the telescopic column.
When the telescopic column locking handle is tight-
ened to 6 N•m (53 lbf in), the steering wheel should
remain locked in place. Use multipurpose grease as
shown in the Maintenance Schedule and lubricate
the lever and pivots as needed.
