LIFTING THE UNIT

lift point or mast mounted forklift
pockets. Failure to comply may result
in damage to equipment and/or serious
personal injury.
1. Make sure the equipment being used to lift the unit
has sufficient capacity. For approximate weights,
refer to the Specification section beginning on

sure any obstructions are clear of the forklift tines before lifting.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard. In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly
over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. NEVER perform routine
service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut off. Before servicing the unit,
always follow the instructions listed below.
Ensure the Control Power switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.
Ensure the circuit breakers are open, in the OFF (O) position.
Activate (push in) the emergency stop switch.
Disconnect the negative (-) terminal on the battery.
Attach a "Do Not Start" sign to the control panel. This will notify everyone that the unit is being serviced and
will reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit.
Never wash the unit with a high pressure hose or with any kind of power washer.
Never wash the engine block or fuel tank with a power washer or steam cleaner. Water may enter the cabinet
and collect in the generator windings or other electrical parts, causing damage.
If the unit is stored outside, check for water inside the cabinet and generator before each use. If wet, dry the
unit thoroughly before starting.
Inspect condition of electrical cords. DO NOT use the unit if insulation is cut or worn through.
Check that winch cables are in good condition
and are centered on each pulley. DO NOT use a
cable that is kinked or starting to unravel.
Check that the safety pins for the mast lock rod
and mast lock bar are present and secured with
a chain. Check that the spring located in the mast
lock bar is not broken or missing. Check the
operation of the mast lock bar.
Check the wheel lugs. Refer to
on page 25.
Check coolant levels. Refer to the engine oper-
ator's manual when determining proper mixture.
