A - DAILY OR EVERY 10 HOURS SERVICE
A1 - I.C. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped, and let the oil drain into
the sump.
- Open the I.C. engine bonnet.
- Remove the dipstick 1 (fig. A1/1).
- Clean the dipstick and check the correct level between the two notches.
- If necessary, add oil (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) by the filler port 2
(fig. A1/2).
- Check visually that there is no leakage or seepage of oil in the I.C. engine.
A2 - COOLING LIQUID LEVEL
CHECK
Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped, and allow the I.C. engine
to cool.
- Open the I.C. engine bonnet.
- Slowly turn the cap of the radiator 1 (fig. A2) anticlockwise up to the safety stop.
- Allow the pressure and vapour to escape.
- Press down and turn the cap so as to release the cap.
- If necessary, add cooling liquid (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) in order
to top up the level to 12 mm below the filler port 2 (fig. A2).
- Lubricate slightly the filler neck in order to facilitate the setting and the removal of the
radiator cap.
- Check visually that there is no leakage in the radiator and pipes.
To avoid any risk of spraying or burning, wait until the I.C. engine has cooled down before removing the cooling circuit filler plug. If the
cooling liquid is very hot, add only hot cooling liquid (80°C). In an emergency, you can use water as a cooling liquid, then change the
cooling circuit liquid as soon as possible (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: F1 - COOLING LIQUID).
A3 - FUEL LEVEL
CHECK
Keep the fuel tank full, to reduce as much as possible any condensation due to the
atmospheric conditions.
- Remove cap 1 (fig. A3).
- Fill the fuel tank with clean fuel (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL), filtered
through a strainer or a clean, lint free cloth, through filler port 2 (fig. A3).
- Put the cap back 1 (fig. A3).
- Check visually that there is no leakage in the tank and pipes.
Never smoke or approach with a flame during filling operations or when the tank is open.
Never refill while I.C. engine is running.
The fuel tank is degassed via the filler plug. When changing it, always use an original part, with degassing hole.
NOTE: A locking tank cap is available as an OPTION.
