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 contains parts and systems which are subject of wearing and could require
re-adjusting, in order to keep 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 to engine and transmission for maintenance
The engine, the transmission, the engine oil and hydraulic reservoirs and filters, and
the engine coolant reservoir are located beneath the floor (cabin floor) of the operator’s
compartment (also referred to as the “operator’s cabin”)
(fig. 2)
.
Use the following procedures to access them:
- With the operator’s sat, start the machine and tilt the mast fully forwards.
- Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
- Move the joystick to the right until reaching the maximum forward tilt.
- Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch.
- Get down from the driver’s cabin.
- Pull lever
(a)
located at the rear of the cabin, behind the seat
(fig. 3)
to unlock
the latch of the cabin, then lift and tilt it forward.
- The operator’s compartment is tilted forward and upward by a gas strut on each
side of the operator’s compartment.
