Counterweight Replacement
REMOVE
WARNING
The lift truck must be put on blocks for some
types of maintenance and repair. The removal of
the following assemblies will cause large changes
in the center of gravity: mast, drive axle, engine
and transmission, and counterweight. When the
lift truck is put on blocks, put additional blocks in
the following positions to maintain stability:
• Before removing the mast and drive axle,
put blocks under the counterweight so the
lift truck cannot fall backward.
• Before removing the counterweight, put
blocks under the mast assembly so the lift
truck cannot fall forward.
The surface must be solid, even, and level when
the lift truck is put on blocks. Make sure that any
blocks used to support the lift truck are solid,
onepiece units. See the procedure How to Put Lift
Truck on Blocks in the Operating Manual or the
Periodic Maintenance section for your lift truck.
WARNING
DO NOT operate the lift truck if the capscrew for
the counterweight is not installed. When the cap-
screw is removed, the counterweight can fall from
the lift truck.
WARNING
LPG can cause an explosion. DO NOT cause
sparks or permit flammable material near the LPG
system. LPG fuel systems can be disconnected
indoors only if the lift truck is at least 8 m (26 ft)
from any open flame, motor vehicles, electrical
equipment, or ignition source.
Close the shutoff valve on the LPG tank before
any part of the engine fuel systemis disconnec-
ted. Run the engine until the fuel in the system is
used and the engine stops.
If the engine will not run, close the shutoff valve
on the LPG tank. Loosen the fitting on the supply
hose from the LPG tank where it enters the filter
unit. Permit the pressure in the fuel system to de-
crease slowly. Fuel leaving the fitting removes
heat. Use a cloth to protect your hands from the
cold fitting.
NOTE: The counterweight is held in position on
frame by two hooks that are part of frame. See Fig-
ure 14.
