1.4. SAFETY IN PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1-21
BE CAREFUL OF HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH
TEMPERATURE HYDRAULIC OIL
• Immediately after using the lift truck, the oil is at high
temperature. Do not drain the oil or replace the filter when
the oil is hot as hot oil may spurt out and cause burns.
• Wait for the truck temperature to go down before carrying
out the inspection and maintenance work.
• Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always
under pressure. Do not add oil, drain oil, or carry out
maintenance or inspection before completely releasing the
internal pressure.
• If oil is leaking under high pressure from small holes, it is
dangerous if the jet of high-pressure oil hits your skin or
eyes. Always wear safety glasses and thick gloves, and use
a piece of cardboard or a sheet of plywood to check for oil
leakage.
• If you are hit by a jet of high-pressure oil, consult a doctor
immediately.
BE CAREFUL OF THE ROTATING COOLING FAN AND
BELT
• It is extremely dangerous if part of your body or a tool in your
hand gets caught up in the rotating fan or fan belt. Never
touch them when rotating.
• When inspecting rotating parts, do so only after the engine
comes to a stop.
• When inspecting the areas around rotating parts, do not
allow anything to come close which may get caught.
JUMP STARTING THE ENGINE IS PROHIBITED
Do not push the lift truck to start the engine. There is danger that the lift truck may suddenly start and operate
unexpectedly.
