refueling.
Do not smoke in refueling areas. Lift truck
should be refueled only at designated safe
locations. Safe outdoor locations are preferable
to those indoors.
Stop the engine and get off the lift truck during
refueling.
NOTICE
Do not allow the lift truck to become low on fuel or
completely run out of fuel. Sediment or other
impurities in the fuel tank could be drawn into the
fuel system. This could result in difficult starting or
damage to components.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day of operation
to drive out moisture laden air and to prevent
condensation. In the cold weather, the moisture
condensation can cause rust in the fuel system and
hard starting due to its freezing. Do not fill the tank
to the top. Fuel expands when it gets warm and may
overflow.
Typical Example
1. Park the lift truck only at a designated safe
location. Place the transmission in NEUTRAL.
Lower the forks to the ground. Engage the
parking brake. Stop the engine.

Capacities." in maintenance section. Install the
filter cap. If spillage occurs, wipe off excess fuel
and absorb any excess fuel with absorbent
material.
NOTE: Drain water and sediment from fuel tank as
required by prevailing conditions. Also,
drain water and sediment from the main fuel
storage tank weekly and before the tank is
refilled. This will help prevent water or
sediment being pumped from the storage
tank into the lift truck fuel tank.
