FILLING UP THE OIL
- Clean and refit drain plugs 1 (fig. E6/1) (tightening torque 29 to 39 N.m).
- Fill up with oil (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) by filler port 4 (fig. E6/2).
Use a clean container and funnel and clean the underside of the oil drum before filling.
- Observe the oil level on dipstick 5 (fig. E6/4), the oil level should be at the level of the red
point.
- Check for any possible leaks at the drain plugs.
- Replace filler plug 2 (fig. E6/2) with a new filler plug (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: FILTERS CARTRIDGES
AND BELTS).
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT DECONTAMINATION
- Let the I.C. engine run (accelerator pedal at halfway travel) for 5 minutes without using anything
on the lift truck, then for 5 more minutes while using completely the hydraulic movements
(except the steering system and the service brakes).
- Accelerate the I.C. engine at full speed for 1 minute, then activate the steering system.
- This operation makes a pollution abatement of the circuit possible through the hydraulic return oil filter.
E9 - SEAT BELT
SEAT BELT WITH TWO ANCHORING POINTS
- Check the following points:
• Fixing of the anchoring points on the seat.
• Cleanness of the strap and the locking mechanism.
• Triggering of the locking mechanism.
• Condition of the strap (cuts, curled edges).
REELED BELT WITH TWO ANCHORING POINTS
- Check the points listed above together with the following points:
• The correct winding of the belt.
• Condition of the reel guards.
• Roller locking mechanism when the strap is given a sharp tug.
NOTE: After an accident, replace the seat belt.
In no event should the lift truck be used if the seat belt is defective (fixing, locking, cuts, tears, etc.). Repair or replace the seat belt immediately.
E10 - FRONT AND REAR WHEELS REDUCERS OIL
Place the lift truck on level ground with the I.C. engine stopped and the reducers oil still warm.
Dispose of the drain oil in an ecological manner.
- Drain and change each front wheel reducer.
- Place drain plug 1 (fig. E10) in position A.
- Place a container under the drain plug and unscrew the plug.
- Let the oil drain fully.
- Place the drain port in position B, i.e. in a level port.
- Fill up with oil (see: 3 - MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL) by level port 1 (fig. E10).
- The level is correct when the oil level is flush with the edge of the hole.
- Refit and tighten the drain plug 1 (fig. E10) (tightening torque 34 to 49 N.m).
- Repeat this operation on each rear wheel reducer.
