Safety
Forklift Maintenance
Warning
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
maintenance to make sure the forklift continues to
meet manufacturer's specifications.
Attach "Do Not Operate" tags to the
Ignition switch and steering wheel before
beginning any service or maintenance.
• "Do Not Operate" tags indicate the forklift should
not be operated until all service or maintenance is
completed.
• Keep two (2) legible "Do Not Operate" tags with
the forklift at all times. "Do Not Operate" tags are
provided in this manual.
Figure 2-1. Do Not Operate Tag.
• DO NOT operate the forklift and attachments if they
require repairs.
• Make sure basic maintenance is completed and
service problems are corrected.
• Injury or death can result from operating a forklift
before all repairs have been made and all proper
maintenance is completed.

Warning
Tires must have proper ballast. DO
NOT replace foam-filled tires with
pneumatic tires.
Check hydraulic oil lines, tubes,
and hoses carefully. DO NOT
use your bare hand to check
for leaks. Always use a board
or cardboard when checking for a hydraulic leak.
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure, even a
pinhole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing
injury or death. If hydraulic oil is injected into your
skin, a doctor familiar with this type of injury must
treat it immediately.
Personal injury can result from
hydraulic oil pressure or hot oil.
DO NOT remove a hydraulic tank
filler cap unless it is cool enough
to touch with bare hands. Remove the hydraulic
tank filler cap slowly to relieve pressure. Relieve all
pressure in a hydraulic system before any caps, lines,
fittings, or related items are disconnected or removed.
It is possible for the forklift to move
suddenly when the brakes are released
resulting in injury or death. To prevent
sudden movement of the forklift, put
blocks in front of and behind wheels before the brakes
are released.
If the forklift is to be towed, make sure the
released brake(s) can be reapplied or that
the towing vehicle can stop the forklift
being towed.
DO NOT use ether as a starting
aid. Ether is flammable and
can cause an explosion when
starting the engine. Follow the
cold starting procedures and engine manufacturer's
specifications for using a starting aid.
