• The following parts should be periodically changed as noted below.

• These parts are made of materials which will deteriorate as time goes by. Further, it is difficult to determine visually whether or not they are still in good condition.

• Changing at proper intervals will reduce the risk of injury to the operator and damage to the truck.

1. LP-Gas repair kit (Converter and fuel lock filter).

2. Cups and dust seals of the wheel cylinders.

3. Cup and dust seal of the master cylinder.

4. Hydraulic hoses on and around mast.

NOTICE: Periodic changes of these parts are not covered by Warranty.

WARNING! Hot oil and components could cause injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact your skin.

Operate the lift truck a few minutes to warm the oil.

Park the lift truck on a level surface with the forks lowered, parking brake applied, transmission in NEUTRAL, engine stopped and the wheels blocked.

WARNING! At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. Steam could cause injuries. DO NOT let it contact your skin and eyes.

To avoid having scalding coolant or steam blow out of the radiator, do not remove the radiator cap unless the engine is cold.

Muffle the cap in a thick cloth and turn it slowly to release all pressure before removing the cap.

The lift truck must be level, the forks lowered, the parking brake applied, the transmission in NEUTRAL, engine stopped and the wheels blocked. The engine must be cooled down.

Maintain the coolant level between the FULL and LOW marks on the reserve tank.

WARNING! Keep fire away from undiluted antifreeze as it is FLAMMABLE

CAUTION! DO NOT add water only. This dilutes the antifreeze/summer coolant protection and adversely affects the engine. Be sure to premix antifreeze/summer coolant with tap water (soft water).

If coolant has to be added frequently, have your Cat lift truck dealer check the cooling system.

WARNING! Hot oil and components could cause serious injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact your skin.
