Methods Of Replacing Braking Oil - BYD ECB16 Operator's Manual

Methods of Replacing Braking Oil

1. Run the forklift until the driving axle gets lightly heated. Park the forklift on a level
floor, apply the hand brake, switch off the forklift, remove the key and press down the
emergency disconnect switch.
2. Clean the surrounding area around the braking oil drains plug, and place a container
below it.
3. Remove the braking oil drain plug and drain the braking oil.
4. Reinstall the braking oil drain plug and tighten it securely.
5. Add some braking oil into the braking oil reservoir. Slightly loosen the braking oil drains
plug to let the air escape. Repeat this procedure more than 3 three times until the air is
removed completely and add braking oil to 2/3 of the braking reservoir.
6. Tighten braking oil drain plug (torque: 4.5ft-lbs) and clean the residual oil spill.
WARNING
The DOT4 type of braking oil has passed the BYD quality test. Using another type of braking
oil might influence the braking performance of the forklift. The viscosity of the braking oil is a factor
that might influence the braking performance.
