Komatsu AX20 Operation & Maintenance Manual page 55

It is dangerous if the brakes do not work because, in this condition, the lift truck cannot be stopped. Always do
the following:
• Check the level of the brake fluid periodically.
• Always use the specified brake fluid.
• Check that the breather of the brake fluid reserve tank is not clogged.
• Be careful not to let dirt or dust get into the brake fluid reserve tank.
• Antifreeze can be flammable. Keep away from flame when handling.
• Antifreeze is poisonous, so do not drink it. If you drink it by mistake, drink large amounts of water, vomit it
out, and get medical attention immediately. Follow safety precautions on container.
Obey appropriate laws and regulations when disposing of harmful items and
materials such as oil, fuel, solvent, filters and batteries.
• If water gets into the electrical system (controller, sensor,
connectors, etc.), there is the hazard that it will cause
malfunctions or operational failure. Do not wash the
electrical system with water or high-pressure steam.
• For more details on the washing method, see "LIFT TRUCK
WASHING PROCEDURE" on page 4-34.
