The OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
outlines the proper and safe lubrication and
maintenance for the truck, as recommended by
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks.
Read and understand the OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE MANUAL before performing any
lubrication or maintenance. Improperly
performed lubrication or maintenance
procedures are dangerous and could result in
injury or death.
Because the service mechanic may be unfamiliar
with many of the systems on this truck it is
important to use caution when performing service
work. Knowledge of the system and/or components
is important before the removal or disassembly of
any component.
Because of the size of some of the truck
components, the service mechanic should check
the weights noted in this Manual. Use proper lifting
procedures when removing any components.
Following is a list of basic precautions, cautions and
notices that should always be observed.
1. Read and understand all warning plates and
decals on the truck before operating, lubricating
or repairing the part or system.
2. Always wear protective glasses and protective
shoes when working around trucks. In particular,
wear protective glasses when pounding on any
part of the truck or its attachments with a
hammer or sledge. Use welder's gloves,
hood/goggles, apron and other protective
clothing appropriate to the welding job being
performed. Do not wear loose-fitting or torn
clothing. Remove all rings from fingers when
working on truck.
3. Do not work on any truck that is supported only
by lift jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or
jack stands to support the truck before
performing any disassembly.
4. Lower the forks or other implements to the
ground before performing any work on the truck.
If this cannot be done, make sure the forks or
other implements are blocked correctly to
prevent them from dropping unexpectedly.
Do not operate this truck unless you have read
and understand the instructions in the
OPERATOR’S MANUAL. Improper truck
operation is dangerous and could result in injury
or death.
5. Use steps and grab handles (if applicable) when
mounting or dismounting a truck. Clean any
mud or debris from steps, walkways or work
platforms before using. Always face truck when
using steps, ladders and walkways. When it is
not possible to use the designed access
system, use ladders, scaffolds, or work
platforms to perform safe repair operations.
6. To reduce the risk of back injury, use hoist when
lifting components which weigh 23 kg (50 lb.) or
more. Make sure all chains, hooks, slings, etc.,
are in good condition and are of the correct
capacity. Be sure hooks are positioned
correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be side loaded
during a lifting operation.
7. To reduce the risk of burns, be alert for hot
parts on trucks which have just been stopped
and have hot fluids in lines, tubes and
compartments.
8. Be careful when removing cover plates.
Gradually back off the last two bolts or nuts
located at opposite ends of the cover or device
and pry cover loose to relieve any spring or
other pressure before completely removing the
last two bolts or nuts.
9. Be careful when removing filler caps, breather
and plugs on the truck. Hold a rag over the cap
or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by
liquids under pressure. The danger is even
greater if the truck has just been stopped
because fluids can be hot.
10. Always use tools that are in good condition and
understand how to correctly use them before
performing any service work.
11. Reinstall all fasteners with same part number.
Do not use a lesser quality fastener if
replacements are necessary. Do not mix metric
fasteners with standard nuts and bolts.
12. If possible, make all repairs with the truck
parked on a level, hard surface. Block the truck
so it does not roll while working on or under it.
13. Disconnect battery and discharge any
capacitors (electric trucks) before starting to
work on the truck. Hang “Do Not Operate” tag
in the Operator’s Compartment.
