Forklift Maintenance<br />
Warning<br />
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper<br />
maintenance to make sure the forklift continues<br />
to meet manufacturer’s specifications. Failure to<br />
properly maintain the forklift can result in improper<br />
performance, which could cause death, serious injury,<br />
or property damage.<br />
Attach “Do Not Operate” tags to the<br />
Ignition switch and steering wheel before<br />
beginning any service or maintenance.<br />
• “Do Not Operate” tags indicate the forklift should<br />
not be operated until all service or maintenance is<br />
completed.<br />
• Keep two (2) legible “Do Not Operate” tags with<br />
the forklift at all times. “Do Not Operate” tags are<br />
provided in this manual.<br />
Figure 2-2. Do Not Operate Tag.<br />
• DO NOT operate the forklift and attachments if they<br />
require repairs.<br />
• Make sure basic maintenance is completed and<br />
service problems are corrected.<br />
• Death or serious injury can result from operating<br />
a forklift before all repairs have been made and all<br />
proper maintenance is completed.<br />
Warning<br />
Tires must have proper ballast. DO<br />
NOT replace foam-filled tires with<br />
pneumatic tires. Use of pneumatic tires<br />
will severely affect vehicle load capacity,<br />
which could result in death, serious injury, or property<br />
damage.<br />
Check hydraulic oil lines,<br />
tubes, and hoses carefully. DO<br />
NOT use your bare hand to<br />
check for leaks. Always use<br />
a board or cardboard when checking for a hydraulic<br />
leak. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure, even<br />
a pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, which<br />
could cause death or serious injury. If hydraulic oil is<br />
injected into your skin, a doctor familiar with this type<br />
of injury must treat it immediately.<br />
Serious injury could result<br />
from hydraulic oil pressure<br />
or hot oil. DO NOT remove a<br />
hydraulic tank filler cap unless<br />
it is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Remove<br />
the hydraulic tank filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.<br />
Relieve all pressure in a hydraulic system before any<br />
caps, lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected<br />
or removed.<br />
It is possible for the forklift to move<br />
suddenly when the brakes are released,<br />
which could result in death, serious injury,<br />
or property damage. To prevent sudden<br />
movement of the forklift, place wheel chocks in front<br />
of and behind wheels before the brakes are released.<br />
If the forklift is to be towed, make sure<br />
the released brake(s) can be reapplied or<br />
the tow vehicle has the braking capacity<br />
to stop the forklift.<br />
DO NOT use ether as a starting<br />
aid. Ether is flammable and<br />
can cause an explosion when<br />
starting the engine, which<br />
could result in death or serious injury. Follow the<br />
cold starting procedures and engine manufacturer’s<br />
specifications for using a starting aid.<br />
