Caterpillar Lift Truck GP50K

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.

Remove the dipstick. Check the oil level.

Enter the oil level reading from the dipstick.

Maintain the correct level range indicated on the dipstick.

Sign off on the oil level check.

CAUTION! After stopping the engine, check and adjust the rotating part. After adjusting the belt, tighten the bracket bolt securely. If the belt is too tight, unnecessary stresses are placed on the alternator bearing and belt. Such stresses will shorten the service life of both. Keep the belt free of oil and grease to reduce the risk of slipping.

NOTICE: If it is difficult to adjust or replace the belts, consult your Cat lift truck dealer.
