Engine inspection
Start the engine and warm it up sufficiently.
1. Check each meter and warning lamp to
see there is no abnormality.
2. Check if the engine is generating abnor-
mal sound or vibration.
3. Check the exhaust gas color to see it is
normal.
Colorless or light blue exhaust indicates
complete combustion; black exhaust,
incomplete combustion; and white
exhaust, burning oil as a result of oil get-
ting into the cylinders.
Warning
• The exhaust gas can cause serious injury
if inhaled. If you must start the engine
inside building or enclosure, insure suffi-
cient ventilation.
• The gasoline engine carburetor is
equipped with the automatic choke that
keeps the engine running at a relatively
high speed a while.
Do not be bothered, however, becomes
the engine resumes a normal speed upon
warming enough.
Load handling system
1. Check the forks installation state, for
cracks and bending.
2. Check for mast distortion, chain tension
and oil leakage from cylinders and pip-
ing.
3. Operate the lift and tilt levers to check
their operating state.
If anything unusual is found, have the
vehicle inspected at a Toyota dealer.
While moving slowly
Clutch disengagement and slipping
Press the inching pedal and check clutch
engagement while moving.
Caution Caution
Insure that the gear shift lever or control
lever operates properly in each gear and
then make above checks while moving
slowly.
Brake effectiveness
Inspect to see if there is anything unusual when
the brake pedal is pressed or if the brakes only
work on the side.
Effect the parking brake and insure that the
vehicle can be stopped and that a parked condi-
tion can be maintained.
Caution Caution
If anything feels even slightly unusual, stop
vehicle operation immediately and have the
vehicle inspected at a Toyota dealer.
Steering wheel inspection
Note:
Perform the inspection after starting the
engine.
1. Check the steering wheel play with the
rear wheel set in the straight traveling
direction.
Note:
See the service data section for the standard
play of steering wheel.
2. Turn the steering wheel in the circumfer-
ential direction and also move it up and
down to check there is no looseness.
3. Push the horn button to check if the horn
sounds normally.
4. If any abnormality is found, ask a Toyota
dealer for inspection.
Steering inspection
While moving the vehicle slowly in a safe
location, turn the steering wheel to the left and
right and check for any unusual movement.
Inspecting SAS system
Check the SAS system to make certain that it is
functioning properly.
Check the mast to make certain that it can be
properly tilted either forward or backward and
moved up. Besides, make certain that the mast
can automatically stop at its horizontal posi-
tion.
Caution Caution
If you feel that something is abnormal even
slightly, or when the diagnosis lamp lights
up or blinks, or if an error code appears on
the hour meter display, immediately stop
operating the vehicle and contact your Toy-
ota dealer to request an inspection. (In the
case of diesel engine vehicles, the diagnosis
lamp may light up during engine warm-up
after a cold-start, but this does not indicate
a malfunction.)
