Reservoir Fill Line
Reservoir 4. Disconnect the hydraulic hose at the lift cylinder. 5. Insert the hose in a waste fluid container.
Fluid is under pressure and may spray or splash. Point the hose away from your body and hold firmly in a waste fluid container.
Hydraulic Fluid Level Check NOTE: Always check the hydraulic fluid level with the forks fully lowered and when the hydraulic fluid is cold. To prevent air from entering the lines: 1. Verify that the fluid level (with the forks fully lowered) is filled and visible to the oil fill line on the reservoir. The usable reservoir capacity is 5.4 qt. (5.1 liters). 2. Add the specified fluid if necessary. See “Lubrication Equivalency Chart” on page A-2.
Changing Hydraulic Fluid NOTE: Store and handle the hydraulic fluid with extreme care to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering the hydraulic system. NOTE: Contaminated hydraulic fluid is the major cause of hydraulic system failures. Keep any service equipment, such as containers, funnels, and hand pumps, clean at all times. Cover them when not in use. 1. Lower the forks. 2. If equipped with the optional keypad, press the red OFF ( O ) key. Place the Main ON/OFF Switch in the OFF position.
