2.
Check if the hand brake is pulled up. The hand
brake  switch  should  be  disconnected  and
ungrounded.
3.
Check  if  there  is  12V  voltage  output  when  the
combination switch is put into forward or reverse
gear.
4.
Check  if  there  is  12V  voltage  input  in  the
forward and reverse direction valve.
5.
Check  if  the  pin  and  socket  connections  are
tight or loose.
6.
Confirm  there  is  voltage  input  to  the  direction
valve.  If  the  valve  is  not  working,  check  the
transmission direction valve.

COOLING SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
AND SERVICE
WARNING
DO  NOT  operate  a  lift  truck  that  needs  repairs.
Report the need for repairs immediately. If repair is
necessary,  put  a  DO  NOT  OPERATE  tag  in  the
operators  area.  Remove  the  key  from  the  key
switch.
Safety  labels  are  installed  on  the lift  truck to  give
information about operation and possible hazards.
It is important that all safety labels are installed on
the lift truck and can be read.
Coolant  must  be  less  than  40°C  (104°F)  before
draining the radiator or personal injury may occur
Coolant level check
1. If radiator coolant is boiling or temperature is too
high, do not to open the radiator cap immediately.
If the forklift truck is running, bring the engine idle
down to low or medium speed.
Loosen radiator cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Once there is no pressure, remove the radiator
cap.
2. Check coolant level. Add approved coolant as
needed.
NOTE:  Radiator cap must be installed completely. If
the radiator cap is not tight, the cooling system can not
build adequate pressure.
3. Install the radiator cap.
Flushing the cooling system
NOTE:  Cleaning water used to flush the cooling
system must be completely drained, and replaced with
approved coolant to avoid freezing.
•
Clean  water  can  be  used  to  flush  to  cooling
system.
•
Periodically  the  radiator  must  be  removed  and
cleaned  in  a  1%  concentrated  boiled  soda
solution.  This  removes  scale  and  sediment
formed that has formed in the radiator.
Adding antifreeze/coolant
Add only approved type FD-2 -35°C (-31°F). Do not
add water or any other antifreeze/coolants to the
cooling system.
Filter or replace the antifreeze/coolant after a year of
use.
Cleaning the radiator
The exterior of the radiator should be cleaned
Periodically. Cleaning may be required more frequently
depending on working conditions.
Use detergent, compressed air, or high-pressure water
to clean the radiator. Pressure used to clean the
radiator should not exceed 4 kg/cm ( 56.9 psi).
