Maintenance
Steering System
WARNING
The lift truck has hydraulic power steering. The steer-
ing can be difficult if the engine is not running.
Make sure the steering system operates smoothly and pro-
vides good steering control. Make sure the steering column
can be adjusted and the gas cylinder function is correct.
Control Levers and Pedals
Check that the control levers for the transmission, mast,
and attachment operate as described in Table 4. Check
that the pedals operate correctly as described in Table 4.
Lift System Operation
WARNING
When working on or near the mast, see Safety Proce-
dures When Working Near the Mast in the Periodic
Maintenance for your lift truck.
Lower the lift mechanism completely. Never allow any
person under a raised carriage. Do not put any part of
your body in or through the lift mechanism unless all
166
parts of the mast are completely lowered and the
engine is STOPPED.
If the mast cannot be lowered, use chains on the mast
weldments and carriage so that they can not move.
Make sure the moving parts are attached to a part that
does not move. See the Periodic Maintenance section
of the service manual for additional information.
Do not try to find hydraulic leaks by putting hands on
pressurized hydraulic components. Hydraulic oil can
be injected into the body by the pressure.
Perform the following checks and inspections:
1. With engine turned OFF, check for leaks in the hydraulic
system. Check the condition of the hydraulic hoses and
tubes.
NOTE: Some parts of the mast move at different speeds
during raising and lowering.
2. Slowly raise and lower the mast several times without a
load. Raise the mast to its full height at least once. The
mast components must raise and lower smoothly in the cor-
rect sequence. Hose must track properly during operation.
