Maintenance Procedures Every 8 Hours or Daily 8000 SRM 707
Fuel, Oil, or Coolant Leaks, Check
WARNING
All fuels are very flammable and can burn or
cause an explosion. Do not use an open flame
to check the fuel level or to check for leaks in
the fuel system. If there is a leak in the fuel sys-
tem, extra care must be used during the repair.

Make a visual check for leaks on and under lift truck.
If possible, find and repair leak at source. Leaks of-
ten indicate a need for repair of damaged or worn
components. Leaks in the LPG fuel system are usu-
ally not visible unless ice is visible. There is, how-
ever, usually a strong odor. Fuel leaks MUST be re-
paired NOW.
Check fuel system for leaks and the condition of
parts. When fuel is added to the lift truck, see the
section How to Add Fuel to the Lift Truck in the
Operating Manual.
Also check the condition of radiator or heater hoses
that are not leaking. Soft or cracked hoses need to be
replaced before a major leak occurs.
Drive Belt
Check drive belts for wear and damage. See Fig-
ure 11.
Intake Manifold Rubber Cap
Check for cracks or dry rot.
Powershift Transmission Oil Temperature
NOTE: Theenginewillstopaftera30-secondwarn-
ing buzzer if transmission oil is over 133
C (271 F) on
S40-65XM lift trucks with protection system.
Check transmission oil level every 250 hours of op-
eration. Heavy-duty or high-temperature operations
will require more frequent checks.
There is an indicator light on the instrument cluster
for the transmission oil temperature. The red light is
on when the key switch is in the START position and
must go off when the engine is running. If the light
is on when the engine is running, the temperature of
the transmission oil is too high. Stop the operation of
lift truck. Make a visual check of transmission and
check transmission oil level.
Powershift Transmission Oil Level
To check the transmission oil, apply parking brake
and, if the lift truck has a direction control lever,
put direction control lever in NEUTRAL (N) posi-
tion. See Figure 10. Run engine for 1 minute to fill
torque converter with oil. Stop engine and check oil
level within 30 seconds. Use the correct oil shown in
the Maintenance Schedule. Keep oil level at FULL
mark on dipstick.
