TORQUE CONVERTER
OIL FILL PORT
Remove the floor mat and turn the cover to gain access to the
dipstick.
Check the torque converter oil for level in the tank in the following
manner:
Run the engine at idle rpm for about 5 minutes. Remove the
dipstick, wipe the rod with a shop rag and reinsert it. Remove
the dipstick again and check the oil level. The oil level should be
between the “H” and “L” markings on the rod. If the level is lower
than the “L” marking, remove the fill port cap and add torque
converter oil through the ll port.

MAST OPERATION
Operate each of the lift and tilt levers several times to check if the
forks and mast operate smoothly without squeaking. Check also
each lever for looseness. (If the truck is equipped with a hydraulic
attachment, check the attachment itself and its control lever.)
NOTE
WARMING UP CYLINDERS
Before starting the day’s work, warm up the cylinders. This
lubricates packings and seals in the cylinders to make them
ready for operation.

LIFT CHAIN TENSION
CAUTION
Use machine oil (or hydraulic oil) for lubricating the lift
chains. Do not use grease for lubricating the lift chains.
ADJUSTMENT
NUT
LOCK NUT
Raise the forks 50 mm off the ground or oor surface and check
that the right and left lift chains have the same tension.
If uneven tension is found, adjust the tension using the adjusting
nut of the chain anchor bolt. After adjustment, securely tighten the
lock nut.
