Fuel System
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 system, extra care must be
used during the repair. Do not operate the lift truck
until a leak is repaired.
Check the 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 procedures in the
OPERATING MANUAL.
FIGURE 9. PRIMARY FUEL FILTER
Primary Fuel Filter, Diesel Engine
1. Drain the water from the primary fuel filter. See
FIGURE 9. Open the valve on the bottom of the filter
canister. Drain some fuel (and any water) into a cup until
clean fuel flows from the filter.
2. Close the valve.
Battery (See FIGURE 4.)
WARNING
The acid in the electrolyte can cause injury. If the
electrolyte is spilled, use water to flush the area. Use
a solution of sodium bicarbonate (soda) to make the
acid neutral. Acid in the eyes must be flushed with
water immediately. Wear eye protection.
Batteries generate explosive fumes. Keep the vents in
the caps clean. Keep sparks or open flame away from
the battery area. Do not make sparks from the bat-
tery connections. Disconnect the battery ground ca-
ble when doing maintenance.
Keep the battery and cable terminals clean. Check the
electrolyte level (unless maintenance–free). Keep the
electrolyte level above the separators and plates. Use
distilled water. Do not fill the battery more than to the
bottom of the internal filler neck.
If the battery becomes discharged and requires a booster
battery to start the engine, follow these procedures care-
fully when connecting the jumper cables:
a. Always connect the positive jumper cable to the
positive terminal of the discharged battery and
the negative jumper cable to the negative termi-
nal.
b. Always connect the jumper cable that is the
ground cable last.
c. Always connect the jumper cables to the dis-
charged battery before connecting them to the
booster battery.
Tires and Wheels (See FIGURE 10.)
WARNING
Air pressure in the tires can cause tire and wheel
parts to explode. The explosion of wheel parts can
cause serious injury or death.
Completely deflate the tires before the tires are re-
moved from the lift truck.
If the air pressure is less than 80% of the correct air
pressure, the tire must be removed before air is
added. Put the tire in a safety cage when adding air
pressure to the tire. Follow the procedures described
in “Add Air To The Tires”.
