When fuel is added, keep the funnel or fuel nozzle in
contact with the metal of the fuel tank to reduce the pos-
sibility of static electric sparks. Clean any spilled fuel.
1. Remove the fuel cap. Make sure the fuel tank is filled with
the correct fuel for the type of engine in the lift truck. Clean
the fuel cap and make sure vent is clear.
2. Replace the fuel cap.
Wheels and Tires
General
The GC/GLC series lift trucks have solid rubber tires (often
called cushion tires) that are pressed onto the rim. The GP/
GLP/GDP series lift trucks have pneumatic tires or solid rub-
ber tires that look like pneumatic tires. These variations in
tires also cause a variation in the types of wheels and the
disassembly and assembly procedures.
How to Change a Solid Rubber Tire (GC/GLC
Series)
WARNING
The type of solid rubber tire is shown on the Nameplate.
Make sure the Nameplate is correct for the type of tires
on the lift truck.
Wheels must be changed and tires repaired by trained
personnel only.
Always wear safety glasses.
NOTE: Solid rubber tires made from softer or harder material
can be installed as optional equipment. The tread on the solid
rubber tires can be either smooth or it can have lugs. Do not
mix types of tires or tread on lift truck.
1. Raise the lift truck as described in How to Put a Lift Truck
on Blocks in this manual.
2. Remove the wheel nuts and remove the wheel from the lift
truck. Lift truck wheels are heavy.
