Fuel
The current regulations of exhaust emissions, require that, for the whole life of the
machine, the level on the different components of these emissions, are under the
maximum figures stated on the regulations.
As a consequence of that, the maintenance plan of the engine has to be followed up
carefully, giving special attention to the quality and pureness of the fuel, the cleanliness
of the filters and, in general, to the general maintenance of the fuel circuit.
Handling
- Only use the fuel type authorized by AUSA. Do not use fuel mixed with oil, other
fuels or unsuitable additives.
- The correct fuel for the forklift is diesel. For further details regarding fuel type and
required specifications see the section “Fluids and lubricants”.
- Do not allow the fuel to come into contact with the skin and avoid inhaling the
fumes, which are toxic. High concentrations of fuel vapour may cause sickness,
loss of consciousness or even loss of life in the event of prolonged exposure.
If you experience symptoms such as sickness or loss of consciousness seek
medical advice immediately.

Forklift nominal load
The Rated Capacity of this forklift is the weight the machine is capable of lifting under
safe operating conditions. The lifting capacity of a forklift is determined by the height
and weight limits of the load. Poor ground conditions as well as shape of the load may
reduce the weight that can be safely lifted. Overloading the forks can make the forklift
unstable, hard to handle, and may be in danger of tipping over.
Inspect the load you intend to lift and make certain it is within the limits of the Load
Capacity Chart located on the left hand side mudguard.
Load Center (fig. 1, 2)
To rate the lifting capacity of forklifts manufacturers have standardized on a certain size
of load. The rated capacity of this forklift is based on a cube measuring 48in (1 m.), in
all three dimensions with the center of gravity in the center of this cube. This is known as
24in (600 mm) o 20in (500 mm.)load center from both the vertical face of the mast and
from the lifting surface of the forks. lt is important to keep load center in mind for as the
load center increases the lifting capacity of the forklift decreases.
Load Capacity
With the load center of the load at 20 in (500 mm.) from vertical face of the forks, the C
200 H-HI and C 200 H x4 has a rated capacity of 2000 Kg.
With the load center of the load at 24 in (600 mm.) from vertical face of the forks, the C
200 H-HI and C 200 H x4 has a rated capacity of 4040 lbs (2000 Kg).
With the load center of the load at 20 in (500 mm.) from vertical face of the forks, the C
250 H-HI / C 250 H x4 / C 250 H x4 LE / C 250 HI x4 LE has a rated capacity of 2500 Kg.
With the load center of the load at 24 in (600 mm.) from vertical face of the forks, the C
250 H-HI / C 250 H x4 / C 250 H x4 LE / C 250 HI x4 has a rated capacity of 5060 lbs
(2294 Kg).

If the load is too heavy split it and re-stack it. Use of attachments other than the pallet
forks that came with this machine may reduce lifting capacity and affect other machine
handling characteristics.
Reproduced copies of the Load Charts are included in the section “Tecnical Specifications” on this Operator’s and Safety Manual. Study the Load Capacity Chart
of your machine carefully and make certain you understand it before lifting loads on the
forks
The relationship between the forklift and the load is altered by changes in:
- Removable attachments (see LOAD CHARTS in this manual).
- Height of the forks.
- Changes in the motion of the machine and the grade of the ground on which it is
moving.
- Smoothness and stability of the ground.
- Machine stability must be maintained while these factors change constantly
during forklift operation.
This requires careful judgement on the part of the operator.
Lifting Capacity
Machine stability is maintained only when the forklift handles loads within its rated
lifting capacity. The Load Capacity Charts are included in the section TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS on this Operator’s and Safety Manual. The lifting capacity of the
machine is determined by the safe height and weight limits of the load. An overload
on the forks makes the forklift unstable, hard to handle, and will present the danger of
tipping over.
Load charts (fig. 1, 2)
The charts you can see in the section TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS on this
Operator’s and Safety Manual shows how much your forklift can lift as the load centre
increases out to 4in. Note how the lift capacity decreases as the load centre increases.
This chart is reproduced as a machine decal and is located on both the right and the left
side of the mast and at the driver seat for ease of reference during machine operation.
The charts you can see in the section TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS on this
Operator’s and Safety Manual represents the load that can be lifted on a level surface,
with the load evenly displaced (like a square box with the weight centred), at certain lift
height (depending on the mast height and use) .
The horizontal axis “D” (often referred to as the “X” axis), represents the distance in
inches that the load centre is moved forward from the face of the forks.
The vertical axis “G” (often referred to as the “Y” axis), shows the load weight in pounds
o kilos.

After-use care
When the forklift is used in salt water areas (beach areas, etc.), rinse the machine
with fresh water to protect the forklift and its components from rust. We recommend
lubricating the metal components. This should be carried out at the end of every day
after using the forklift.
When the forklift has been working in muddy areas, it should be washed with fresh water
to protect the forklift and keep the lights clean.
Note: Never use high-pressure water to clean the forklift. ONLY USE LOW-PRESSURE
WATER. High-pressure water may cause electrical and mechanical damage.
Rolling over (fig. 1)
In the event of the machine rolling over it is important that the driver avoids being caught
between the machine and the ground.
To prevent this we recommend:
1. Try to remain within the seated operator area / cabin.
2. Grasp the steering wheel firmly.
3. Push feet, firmly, against the ground floor of the cabin.
4. Try to keep as far away from the point of impact as possible.

Description of a forklift truck
A forklift truck is a powered vehicle used for transporting or handling loads with the aid of
tools specific to the task to be carried out. The forklift is able to lift loads. It consists of a
resistant chassis resting upon two axles. The front axle is the drive axle and the rear axle
the steering axle, although versions exist in which both axles are driving axles.
At the front of the forklift there is a mast, along it moves the front carriage. The unit
formed by both is designed to lift and tilt the load forwards and backwards, making
handling easier

Before starting and operating the forklift
- Stay alert. Concentrate fully on your work. Your safety and that of others depends
on the care you take when operating this forklift.
- Remember that you are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect
you but also the people around you.
The surrounding area
Be careful around any pedestrians in the surrounding area
This forklift was designed to lift loads not people. Never transport people on any part of
the forklift. Do not let people ride on the forks (fig. 1).
Do not let people stand or walk under raised forks, loaded or unloaded (fig. 2).
Give way to the right to pedestrians found in your path.
Do not drive rapidly. Driving too fast is dangerous to the driver and to the load. The
speed at which the forklift is operated should always be suited to the working conditions
and to the space available for manoeuvring.
Always drive smoothly and not in a jerky fashion.
Never put any part of your body between the fork mast and the forklift body. (fig. 3).
Be careful around any load edges, pressure zones or revolving movements and
extensions.
Be certain you have good visibility at all times. It is important that you can see clearly
both forward and backward when operating the forklift. If the load does not allow clear
forward visibility, then drive with caution in reverse. (fig. 4).
This forklift is not designed to be used as a tow truck or tow vehicle. However if the forklift
is to be towed to or from work location, see the section “Towing the forklift” on this
(fig. 1)
Operator’s and Safety Manual.
Work circuit
The movement of loads within an installation or enclosure must be carried out following
certain instructions concerning the circulation of forklifts and pedestrians. If you are not
aware of these regulations, please check with your supervisor. Study the movements
of the forklift to avoid making manoeuvres which are unnecessary, or involve risk to the
surrounding areas. Find out which paths are suited to the type of vehicle you are driving
and the load carried. If it is necessary to drive along public highways, first check that
the forklift complies with current regulations of the country. Highway use of this off-road
equipment may be restricted or prohibited by the laws of a State or Province.
Work cycle
(fig. 2)
If it is necessary to move loads continuously and repeatedly, try to do so with the
minimum number of movements necessary, where possible. Reducing the number of
movements saves fuel and reduces the emission of exhaust fumes.
If the work is very intense, remember to check the instrument panel from time to
time, especially in extreme climates, as the engine will be working in particularly hard
conditions.
Forklift truck circulation
When approaching a junction with poor visibility, reduce speed, emit acoustic warnings
and proceed slowly according to the available visibility.
The speed of the forklift should at all times be adapted to the working conditions and
the surrounding area. Systematically driving at the maximum speed permitted by the
machine may put the operator and the surrounding area at risk.

Special Safety
Messages
Driving in reverse
Ensure good visibility of the path to be taken. If the load being carried obstructs visibility ,
drive in reverse with the utmost of caution.
Before reversing, the operator should ensure that this does not involve risks for the
forklift, people or objects in the surrounding area (fig. 1).
Driving on gradients
Special care should be taken when driving on gradients: move slowly, avoid placing
the machine across the gradient and do not work on higher gradients than those
recommended.
The maximum permitted gradient does not imply that it is possible to manoeuvre here in
absolute safety under full load, ground and operating conditions.
Gradients should be descended in reverse, with the load facing the direction of greatest
stability (fig. 2).
Rudiments of static equilibrium
In order that the forklift is able to handle loads in a stable and safe manner, certain
equilibrium conditions must exist and be maintained between the load and the machinery .
Therefore, the forklift is fitted with counterweights at the rear. These are designed to
compensate for the weight of the load being carried, as long as the centre of gravity
of the load and the forklift are within certain established limits. In order to calculate the
values of the transportable weight and the position of the centre of gravity permitted
for the forklift see the Load Charts in the section “Operating the Machine” on this
Operator’s and Safety Manual .
Rudiments of dynamic equilibrium
While the forklift is moving, and as it gains speed, the equilibrium conditions of the
load-forklift unit are modified as the centre of gravity shifts. This is accentuated on lifting
loads, turning, braking, etc. In these conditions it is necessary to take the utmost care
to ensure that the centre of gravity of the load is maintained within the specifications
showed on the load chart plate.
Static equilibrium of a conventional forklift
The forklift counterweight produces a situation of imbalance when the forklift is unloaded.
The centre of gravity is maintained low and close to the rear of the forklift. When the load
is collected, the imbalance is corrected and the centre of gravity shifts forward. If the
load is within the margins given on the load chart, equilibrium is maintained. As the
load is lifted, the centre of gravity also rises, shifting upwards. At the moment that the
centre of gravity shifts beyond the forklift, the equilibrium is lost and the forklift becomes
unstable. Therefore, the forklift should not move while the load is raised.
Stability
Do not carry unstable or loose loads, or loads which are oversized with respect to the
forklift. If very large or wide loads must be carried, every precaution must be taken to
prevent bumps or other possible accidents.
When carrying out lifting manoeuvres, particularly at height, ensure that the forklift is on
stable ground as levelled as possible.
Do not drive over objects which may endanger the stability of the machine.

Special Safety
Messages
The triangle of horizontal stability
To prevent the loads which are being transported from falling, it is necessary to consider
the triangle of horizontal stability (fig. 1). This is an imaginary inverted triangle, with the
lower end located on the centre of the rear axle and the two upper vertices on each of the
front wheels. Stability is guaranteed when the centre of gravity of the combination load
(c)+ machine (m) remains within the limits of this imaginary triangle.
Longitudinal stabilization
The risk of longitudinal overturning increases if the forklift is driven while the load is
raised. Sharp braking and accelerating or rapid tilting movements decrease stability.
Transversal stability
The risk of overturning sideways increases on turning at incorrect speeds, while the forklift
is unloaded or when the load is raised. Rough ground, sharp braking or accelerating or
shifts in the load make these conditions worse.
Centre of gravity and the capacity of the forklift truck
Do not overload the forklift or handle loads which shift the centre of gravity beyond
that for which it is designed. Manoeuvre slowly, especially when changing direction on
slippery ground .
Do not handle loads that are unstable, loose or disproportionate to the size of the forks
and the forklift machine itself. Make certain that long or wide loads are fastened together
so as to be stable and secure.
The load and counterweight
The load should be lifted and lowered with the mast in vertical position or slightly
tilted backwards. The raised load should only be tilted forwards when it is about to be
unloaded.
Tilting the load forwards or backwards (swinging) is very useful for collecting or
positioning the load, but affects the longitudinal and lateral stability. Therefore, when
handling raised loads, do not swing the mast more than is absolutely essential.
The forklift may tip forwards when carrying a raised load with the mast tilted forwards, or
in the event of sudden braking or accelerating while the load is raised.
If using an accessory , attachment or tool, first check the permitted load. The combination
of the weight of the forklift plus the weight of the accessory or attachment reduces the
nominal load.
(fig. 1)
WARNING
This forklift is not designed to travel with elevated load or with the mast tilted
forward.
Do not tilt forward the mast with the forks elevated except to pick up or deposit
the load.
The fully forward tilting mast angle is only intended to transport the forklift on a
truck bed, always without load.
For operating with load do not exceed 10º for the forward tilting mast angle.

Load handling
• Know the lifting capacity of your forklift and operate within those limits.
See the Load Limit Charts shown in the section TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
on this Operator’s Safety Manual and shown in a plate on the left mudguard.
• Never transport loads with the forks raised -keep them as low as possible to attain
maximum stability-. The risk of overturning increases when the forklift is driven with
the load raised. Keep it low when in transit. (fig. 1, 2)
• Do not drive on surfaces that could affect the stability of the machine.
• Only raise the forks when the machine is on a level, flat surface.
• If necessary to temporarily operate the forklift in rough, unimproved areas, be very
careful when operating near an open trench, a high bank or an overhang that can
fall and cause a roll over with the potential of serious injury or death. Y ou must make
a careful judgement whether you and your forklift can be safely operated near any
of these areas.
• Stay off steep inclines and slopes. Hillside operation can be very dangerous due to
the constant potential of rollovers.
• When operating on modest inclines or slopes:
- Move very carefully and slowly.
- Keep the forks and load low.
- Keep the forks facing uphill at all times. This means driving in backwards down a
slope to maintain maximum load stability.
- Always travels directly up or down the slope.
- Do not travel across an incline.
- Never position the forklift sideways on a slope.
• Forks should only be raised on level stable ground. You must be the judge whether
ground conditions will permit the safe operation of the forklift. Operation on an
incline can be very dangerous.
Rain, snow, loose gravel or soft ground can be factors which may prevent the use of
the forklift.
• Keep the forks and the loads away from overhead obstructions.
• Never operate the forklift near or close to overhead power lines.
• If the forklift is operated in an enclosed area, use ventilation systems to replace the
exhaust fumes with fresh air.
• Use ventilation systems to remove any flammable dust or steam in the working
area.
• Do not overload the forklift and do not allow the load centre to move. Always
manoeuvre slowly and smoothly especially when changing direction.
• Keep the forks facing uphill at all times. This means reversing backwards down a
slope to maintain maximum load stability.
• When depositing a load to a height, tilt the mast forward just enough to leave the
load on a shelf or pile. When taking a load from a shelf, tilt the mast back just
enough to stabilise the load on the forks.
• Always operate the fork tilt lever slowly and smoothly. (fig. 2).
• Always drive with the forks in the low position and with the mast tilted slightly back.
• Make certain that long or wide loads are fastened together so as to be stable and
secure.

Critical speed
The speed at which the forklift moves affects its stability. When turning, braking, or
accelerating, the centre of gravity shifts within the triangle of stability. Sharp turns,
sudden braking or accelerating cause the centre of gravity to shift sharply and it may fall
outside the triangle. This is the moment when the stability of the forklift and the load are
not guaranteed and there is a risk of accident.
When manoeuvring reduce the speed of the forklift and avoid turning the steering wheel
sharply.
Do not drive the forklift at a fast speed and then attempt a turn as the forklift may tip over .
Always drive slowly when making a turn and keep the forks low when turning (fig. 1).
Accesses and doors
Make sure that the passages and doors along the route are sufficiently high to allow all
the forklift to pass.
When carrying out lifting manoeuvres, pay special attention to the height of the roof,
lighting and other overhead installations.
Ground surface
Check that the ground is strong enough to bear the forklift when loaded, especially
when approaching bridges, the edges of embankments, concrete floors elevators,
etc. (fig. 2).
Lighting
The forklift working area should be adequately lit to prevent the risk of accident, running
over persons or colliding with obstacles. As soon as the daylight fades, the forklift lighting
system should be switched on. If the forklift is not equipped with lighting, make sure that
the working area is adequately lit. If this is not possible, do not continue working with the
forklift, this may result in an accident.
Loading bay. Communication. Shelving and installations. The load
The loading bay or area where the loads are handled should be correctly equipped
and signposted. The operating area of the forklift should be free of obstacles and
pedestrians, however if their presence is necessary, the pedestrians should move in
areas which have been duly marked as such and they should be easily distinguished,
for example, by wearing reflective jackets.
If the area is closed it should be well-ventilated and the forklift must be equipped
with lighting and exhaust gas purifier systems. The forklift operator should be able to
communicate normally with pedestrians. If the surrounding area is excessively noisy,
pedestrians should refrain from walking in the immediate vicinity. If this is unavoidable,
the utmost care should be taken. Radio communication equipment should not be
handled while driving the forklift. If it is necessary to use the radio, pull over to one side
and signal the position of the forklift, using the lights or hazard warning lights.
Shelving for the loads have a series of marked passageways. The width of these should
be at least the width of the forklift plus 40 in (1 m). If the passageway is two-way, the
width must be sufficient to allow two forklifts to pass plus an additional 55 in (1,5 m).
Before using the forklift to handle loads check the load and ensure that the weight does
not exceed the forklift capacity. At the same time, check that the load is stabilized and
correctly secured, to ensure that no part of the load falls off during transportation.

Special Safety
Messages
Order and cleanliness
Carrying out a series of checks before starting the forklift and keeping the operator cab
clean help to make the work safer.
To do so, follow the MAINTENANCE CHART given in this Operator’s and Safety
Manual strictly, and keep the operator cab clean and free of earth, gravel, mud, oil or
other objects which may cause falls.
Do not carry objects in the operator cab. These may injure the operator or accidentally
activate the forklift controls.
Overhead Guard
WARNING
Y ou are protected by an overhead guard which complies with the provisions of
ISO 3449 and ISO 3471 / ASME B56.6. It protects the operator against falling
objects and, together with the mast, gives protection to the operator in the
event of an accidental tip over. The seat belt is an important part of this safety
system and must always be fastened before operating the forklift.
Failure to wear the seat belt in the event of an accidental tip over could result
serious injury or death as you could be crushed by the machine or by the
overhead guard.
The above decal is located on the side of the machine. Overhead Guard must be weekly
inspected for excessive damage cracks permanent deformation or signs of potential
cracks. If these incidents appear, structure must not be repaired but replaced for a new
one.
When leaving / parking the forklift (fig. 1, 2, 3)
A poorly parked forklift truck is a risk.
Park the forklift in the areas provided for this purpose, without obstructing the passage
of others, exits or entrances to stairs and emergency equipment.
• Place the forks or attachment in the fully lowered position.
(fig. 1)
• Set all the controls in the “0” neutral position.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Do not park the forklift on a slope. If it is necessary to park the forklift on a gradient,
in addition to using the parking brake, place chocks against the wheels.
• Stop the engine and cut the ignition circuit. Remove the ignition key.
• Lock all mechanisms to prevent any unauthorised person from using the machine.
• Remember that you are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect
you but also the people around you.

Parking the machine and stopping the engine
Make certain that the forklift is parked on level ground when leaving it overnight. Also
park it on level ground before any scheduled maintenance is attempted.
- Lower the forks to the ground, apply the parking brake and push directional
switch to neutral.
- Run the engine at idle for 1 minute if the engine has been working at full load
-as this procedure will cool the engine components evenly.
- Turn off the key switch in a counter-clockwise motion to stop the engine.
- Remove the key from the ignition and take it with you. Never leave the key
in a parked machine.
Be careful with the environment
At the end of the operating life of the machine, bring it to a recycling center or an scrapdealer.
It is absolutely forbidden to leave the materials in public places.
When changing the engine oil or other fluids, use a big collecting trough. Make sure
not to pollute the environment with emerging oil and other waste products (coolant,
batteries, etc.) bring them to the corresponding recycling centre.
In case that substances escape from the machine that are harmful to the environment
and/or to the people, take remedial measures inmediately , (eg.: if hydraulic oil emerges;
apply oil bonding agent, put a collecting vessel underneath, tighten leakage, remove
and dispose of contaminated earth, if required).
At the end of the life cycle of the machine, bring it to the specialised and recognised
recycling centres.

When transporting the forklift on a trailer or truck bed, carefully follow the instructions in
the Caution Decal. Move slowly and carefully up (or down) the loading ramps. Once on
the trailer make certain the forks are lowered, handbrake applied and the forks and tires
are blocked. Lastly make certain the forklift is securely tied down.
After the machine has been positioned on the Lorry/Trailer bed, put chocks at the front
and rear of the forklift tires.
Firmly fast the forklift to the trailer or truck bed with chains, cable or tie-down straps to
prevent any movement in the position shown in the picture 1.
Use the four eyes welded on to the chassis of the forklift purpose (fig. 2)
WARNING
Before you put the forklift on a trailer or truck bed, make certain that the ramp is
strong enough to support the load and that the parking surface is fee of debris,
oil, grease or ice.
• Do not transport the forklift with a full diesel fuel tank.
• Make certain your seat belt is properly fastened.
• Move the forklift slowly and carefully up the ramp onto the trailer.
• Shift the directional control lever to neutral.
• Apply the parking brake.
• In transit position lower the forks to their lowest level.
• Stop the engine and remove the key.
• Put blocks under the tips of each fork and tilt the mast slightly forward.
• Choks must be placed on all four wheels.
• Fast the forklift to the lorry chassis using chains, straps or sling cables
of sufficiente strengh.
Loading onto a trailer by crane (fig. 3)
lf a sling and crane are used to load the forklift onto a trailer or truck, attach the sling as
shown in the next figure.
Before lifting check that the sling cable is firmly attached. While lifting the forklift do not
permit riders on the forklift or by standers within 15ft (5m).
To lift the machine with a crane, bear in mind the following advice:
- Front slings must not be shorter than 8ft (2,5 meters).
- Always raise the machine in a balanced position.
- Keep the angle of inclination of the front sling approximately the same as the

Towing the machine
If the machine must be towed for short distances, only do so with a solid tow-bar to
prevent any lateral sway. Attach the tow bar to the bolt at the rear of the counter weight
(fig. 1). Drive slowly and carefully at a speed not exceeding 6 mph (10 Km/h) and of
maximum for a duration not exceeding 3 minutes.. Comply with all state laws governing
the operation / towing of an off-highway machine on public roads and highways.
Before towing the machine:
Release the parking brake (fig. 2, 3, 4)
In the event that the parking brake is blocked, due, for example, to a loss of brake fluid,
or because the engine does not start, proceed as follows to release it.
Remove the bleeder (a) from the brake.
Screw on the nipple (b)supplied in the forklift tool box.
Using a hand pump lubricator (d) insert grease until the internal pressure manages to
release the parking brake.
Remove handbrake release pressure hose and plug in the fitting with a M12 x 1,5 mm.
thread plug (c).
To finally release the parking brake, unscrew the nipple (b). The grease will come out of
the brake thanks to the operation of the internal springs.
Re-assemble the bleeder (a).
Disassemble plug (c) and connect handbrake hose again.
(fig. 1)
WARNING
a
Any repair to the brake system should be carried out by an authorized AUSA

By passing the hydrostatic pump
The forklift towing is only recommended when there is no other option during a breakdown so the hydrostatic transmission can be seriously damaged. Whenever is possible
it is recommended fixing in the place where is stopped. Otherwise, towing should only
occur over short distances and at low speed. Comply with all state laws governing the
operation / towing of an off-highway machine on public roads and highways.
CAUTION
It is possible to damage the drive motor by operating in bypass mode without
charge pressure. Move the forklift at a speed not more than 20% of maximum
for a duration not exceeding 3 minutes.
Use this procedure to bypass the pump to allow moving the forklift short distances when
you cannot start the engine.
(C200H)(fig. 1)
To open the by-pass valves, screw-in (but not over-tight them) the centre screws of the
hydrostatic pump safety relief valves. To do so, loose the counter-nuts.
Once the machine is fixed, screw-out again the hydrostatic pump safety relief valves
tight the counter-nuts again.
(C250H)(fig. 2, 3)
1. To open the HPRVs (L150), rotate three revolutions counter-clockwise using a
22mm hex wrench. Do not rotate more than 3 revolutions, leakage will result.
2. To close the HPRVs, rotate them clockwise until seated. Torque to 70 Nm. (52 lb.ft).
3. If machine is towable with HPRVs opened three turns and if wheels are locked (not
towable) with HPRVs valves closed, bypass function is working correctly.

General comments
Only original AUSA spare parts should be used during maintenance
operations. This is the only way to guarantee that the AUSA machinery will
have the same operational level that it had upon delivery.
This forklift, as with any machine, contains parts and systems which are subject to wear
or require re-adjusting, and which may affect the reliability of the machine and the safety
of the operator , the environment and the surrounding area, such as for example, exhaust
gas emissions. The necessary maintenance should be carried out regularly in order to
ensure similar conditions to those existing on leaving the factory.
All repair and maintenance operations should be made while the forklift is unloaded,
the parking brake applied and the wheels blocked in order to keep the forklift stationary .
Disconnect the battery (fig. 1) before carrying out any work on the electrical system.
Never use a flame to check fluid levels.
Respect the environment
When changing oil or other fluids use a suitable container to collect the old fluid. Take
care not to cause damage to the environment and take all the replaced materials
(batteries, coolant, etc) to the appropriate recycling centres.
In the event of leaks of substances which may be harmful to persons or to the environment,
immediately take the necessary measures to reduce their impact, for example in the
case of oil leaks, plug the leak, use a recipient to collect the oil, sprinkle absorbent
material or collect up and remove the contaminated soil if necessary.
Access for maintenance
The engine, the transmission and filters are located under the cabin floor (fig. 2). To
access them, you have to proceed as follows:
- Start the forklift and tilt the mast forwards (the operator remains seated in the
driver’s cabin).
- Move the joystick to the right until reaching the maximum forward tilt.
- Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
- Get down from the driver’s cabin.
Pull the handle (a) located at the left side of the seat (fig. 3) to unlock the cabin latch.
