A - DAILY OR EVERY 10 HOURS SERVICE
A1 - I.C. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped, and let the oil drain into
the sump.
- Open the I.C. engine bonnet.
- Remove the dipstick 1 (fig. A1).
- Clean the dipstick and check the correct level between the two notches.
- If necessary, add oil (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) by the filler port 2
(fig. A1).
- Check visually that there is no leakage or seepage of oil in the I.C. engine.
A2 - COOLING LIQUID LEVEL
Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped, and allow the I.C. engine
to cool.
- Open the I.C. engine bonnet.
- Check the correct level in the middle of gauge 1 (fig. A2).
- If necessary, add cooling liquid (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL).
- Slowly turn the cap of the radiator 2 (fig. A2) up to the safety stop.
- Allow the pressure and the steam to escape.
- Press down and turn the cap so as to release it.
- Add cooling liquid via filler port 3 (fig. A2) up to the middle of gauge 1 (fig. A2).
- Lubricate slightly the filler neck in order to facilitate the setting and the removal of the
radiator cap.
- Check visually that there is no leakage in the radiator and pipes.
To avoid any risk of spraying or burning, wait until the I.C. engine has cooled down before removing the cooling circuit filler plug. If the cooling liquid is
very hot, add only hot cooling liquid (80°C). In an emergency, you can use water as a cooling liquid, then change the cooling circuit liquid as soon as
possible (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: F1 - COOLING LIQUID).
