3. Notices for Operation of Cooling System
1) When forklift truck is being operated, in the case when radiator is overheated or
temperature of coolant is excessively high, don’t open the radiator cover immediately.
Examine the liquid level, in order to find the overheating cause. When cover has to be opened,
it is required to slow down the engine to a medium speed. Turn the radiator cover slowly and
loosen off the cover after waiting for a while, to avoid scald of operator by splash of coolant.
Make sure to screw the radiator cover properly in place, when it is tightened up, and
otherwise it is difficult to build up a specified pressure system.
2) There is a feeding tank on the left side of engine, with the marks of FULL and LOW
labeled in the upper and lower parts of the tank wall, and the level of anti-freeze fluid shall be
between these two countermarks during use. Antirust and anti-freeze fluid of the same model
shall be supplied after anti-freeze fluid is leaked out or evaporated. Anti-freezing fluid is
generally used both in winter and summer, not changed for four seasons. It shall be drained
out for filtration and purification treatment after use for one year in general, to be then further
used.
3)According to different work conditions, the smudge on the outer surface of radiator shall be
periodically cleaned and removed, either to be soak cleaned using detergent, or to be flushed
using compressed air or high-pressure water (pressure not larger than 4kg/cm).
