Warning: 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 parts of the mast are completely lowered and the lift truck motor is OFF.

Inspect the welds on the mast, cylinders, and carriage for cracks. Make sure that the capscrews and nuts are tight.

Inspect the channels for wear in the areas where the rollers travel. Inspect the rollers for wear or damage.

Check mast lubrication. If necessary, lubricate the sliding surfaces and the load roller surfaces along the full length of the channels.

Inspect the load backrest extension for cracks and damage.

If the lift truck is equipped with a sideshift carriage or attachment, inspect the parts for cracks and wear. Make sure the parts that fasten the sideshift carriage or attachment to the carriage are in good condition.

Warning: Always wear the proper protective equipment including eye protection and petroleum-resistant gloves when handling hydraulic oil. Thoroughly wash oil from exposed areas of skin as soon as possible.

Warning: Never check for leaks by putting hands on hydraulic lines or components under pressure. Hydraulic oil under pressure can be injected into the skin.

Visually inspect hoses/fittings for hydraulic leaks; hose covers for cuts, cracks, or exposed reinforcement; defective/broken clamping devices or sheaves; and proper tracking during operation. Adjust/repair/replace hose/ components as necessary.

WARNING: The acid in the electrolyte can cause injury. If electrolyte is spilled, use water to flush the area. Make the acid neutral with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (soda) and water. Acid in the eyes must be immediately flushed with water.

Batteries generate explosive fumes when they are being charged. Keep fire, sparks, and burning material away from the battery charger area. Prevent sparks from the battery connectors.

Charge batteries only in the special area for charging batteries. When charging the batteries, keep the vent caps clean. The battery charger area must have ventilation so that explosive fumes are removed. Open the hood over the battery or remove the cover if the battery has a cover.

Disconnect the battery when doing cleaning and maintenance.

CAUTION: Never connect the battery charger plug to the plug of the lift truck. You can damage the traction control circuit. Make sure the charger voltage is the correct voltage for the battery.

Use only battery chargers approved by the battery manufacturer or dealer.

CAUTION: Always make sure the color in the window of the charger connector is the same as the color in the window of the battery connector.

NOTE: This series of trucks can have one of two types of batteries. One type has removable cell caps. A green key for battery voltage shows in the window of the battery connector for batteries with call caps.

The other type has sealed cells and the electrolyte cannot be checked. A gray key for battery voltage shows in the window of the battery connector for sealed batteries. These sealed batteries also require a different charger.

Batteries are heavy and can cause an injury. Use care to avoid injury. A single trained operator should perform the battery exchange, while other personnel remain clear. DO NOT put hands, arms, feet and or legs between the battery and solid objects.

Make sure the capacity of the crane and spreader bar is greater than the weight of the battery. The weight of the battery is normally shown on the battery case. The maximum battery weight is shown on the lift truck Nameplate. The spreader bar must NOT be made of metal or it must have insulated straps.

The replacement battery must fit the battery area correctly. Adjust the front spacer plate to prevent battery movement in the battery compartment. Make sure that the battery voltage and weight of the replacement bat- tery is correct as shown on the Nameplate.

Before connecting the battery, make sure the key or keyless switch is in the OFF position and the parking brake is set.

Batteries must be discarded or recycled according to local environmental regulations.
