Lubricants And Fuel Levels; Electricity; Welding; Washing The Lift Truck - Manitou MHT 790 104JD H ST4 S1 Operator's Manual

LUBRICANT AND FUEL LEVELS
- Use the recommended lubricants (never use contaminated lubricants).
- Do not fill the fuel tank when the engine is running.
- Only fill up the fuel tank in areas specified for this purpose.
- Do not fill the fuel tank to the maximum level.
- Do not smoke or approach the lift truck with a flame, when the fuel tank is open or is being filled.

HYDRAULIC

- Any work on the load handling hydraulic circuit is forbidden except for the operations described in part: 3 - MAINTENANCE.
- Do not attempt to loosen unions, hoses or any hydraulic component with the circuit under pressure.
p
BALANCING VALVE: It is dangerous to change the setting and remove the balancing valves or safety valves which may be fitted to your lift truck cylinders.
The HYDRAULIC ACCUMULATORS that may be fitted on your lift truck are pressurised units. Removing these accumulators and their pipework is a dangerous
operation and must only be performed by approved personnel (consult your dealer).

ELECTRICITY

- Do not short-circuit the starter relay to start the engine. If the forward/reverse selector is not in neutral and the
parking brake is not applied, the lift truck may suddenly start to move.
- Do not drop metallic items on the battery.
- Disconnect the battery before working on the electrical circuit.

WELDING

- Disconnect the battery before any welding operations on the lift truck.
- When carrying out electric welding work on the lift truck, connect the negative cable from the equipment directly to
the part being welded, so as to avoid high tension current passing through the alternator.
- Never carry out welding or work which gives off heat on an assembled tyre. The heat would increase the pressure
which could cause the tyre to explode.
- If the lift truck is equipped with an electronic control unit, disconnect this before starting to weld, to avoid the risk of
causing irreparable damage to electronic components.

WASHING THE LIFT TRUCK

- Clean the lift truck or at least the area concerned before any intervention.
- Remember to close and lock all accesses to the lift truck (doors, windows, cowls...).
- During washing, avoid the articulations and electrical components and connections.
- If necessary, protect against penetration of water, steam or cleaning agents, components susceptible of being
damaged, particularly electrical components and connections and the injection pump.
- Clean the lift truck of any fuel, oil or grease trace.
TRANSPORTING THE LIFT TRUCK
p
Transporting the lift truck involves real risks for the operator and others involved.
- Towing, slinging or transporting the lift truck (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: G - OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE).
