6. GENERAL STARTING AND OPERATING TIPS

Before you start the truck, make sure that you have taken all the above-mentioned precautions, you
have read this manual, you are starting from a safe condition, with the gear selector lever in
NEUTRAL, the seat adjusted, and your seat belt buckled.
INSPECT YOUR LIFT TRUCK BEFORE OPERATING at the start of each shift. Before you
put your truck to use, check the operation of the controls and all systems.
Turn off any lights or optional electrical equipment while you crank the engine. This reduces the
electrical load on your battery.
Avoid excessive starter cranking (In excess of 30 seconds). To avoid starter overheating or damage,
do not crank the starter continuously for more than 30 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start,
wait two to three minutes before again attempting to start your lift truck.
If your battery is run down (discharged) or becomes discharged while you try to start your truck,
please refer to Section 6, Emergency Starting and Towing, in this manual.
To avoid damage to your truck or possible harm to yourself. Follow these recommendations :
Warm the engine up before driving or applying a load. Idle engine at low idle rpm for a few minutes
to circulate and warm the oil. Then increase speed to approximately half-throttle for a short period
or until the engine coolant reaches approximately 38 ˚C (100 ˚F). This procedure helps prolong
engine life.
Let the engine run until the normal operating temperature is reached. Then operate the controls
and check all gauges and warning indicators to be sure they are functioning properly. Stop the
engine and make a visual inspection for oil, water, or fuel leaks.
Do not operate the engine at speeds above idle for more than brief periods without a load.
Do not run the engine at maximum power continuously until the engine is fully warmed up.
Never operate the engine at more than the regular no-load governed speed. Excessive speeds
are harmful.
The governor is set at the factory and should need no adjustement.
Avoid extended (in excess of 10 minutes) and unnecessary idling of the engine. Turn off the
engine instead.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, but can be present with all other exhaust fumes.
Exhaust gases are harmful and can cause serious injury or death. Proper ventilation is
always necessary for safe inside operation or warm-up.
Due to the precise, tolerances of diesel injection systems, it is extremely important that the
diesel fuel be kept clean and free of dirt or water. Dirt or water in the system can cause
severe damage to both the injection pump and the injection nozzles.
