Gillison Forklift Manual
SAFETY - 7
checking for leaks always use a piece of cardboard or
wood. Never use your hands to fi nd a pressure leak.
If ANY fl uid is injected into the skin, it must be attend-
ed to by a doctor immediately.
Fuel System
FIG. 14: Diesel fuel is fl ammable and must be han-
dled with care.
Never refuel or service the fuel system on the machine
while smoking or when near open fl ames or sparks.
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
DO NOT use a fuel can unless necessary.
Always clean up any spilled fuel.
Fuel system components rely upon clean fuel for lubri-
cation and optimum performance. Extreme care must
be taken to prevent contamination from dirt and mois-
ture so as to prevent damage to system.
Fuel injection system servicing must be referred to your
Gillison Dealer. Unauthorized servicing may void all
warranties.
Wheels and Tires
Do not attempt to service a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Have the work carried out by your Gillison Dealer or a
qualifi ed repair service.
The machine must be supported on suitable blocks or
stands, NOT a hydraulic jack.
When seating tire beads onto rims, never exceed 2.4 bar
(35 psi) or the maximum infl ation pressure specifi ed on
the tire. Infl ation beyond this maximum pressure may
break the bead, or even the rim, with dangerous, explo-
sive force.
When preparing a calcium chloride solution for fl uid
blasting the tires, NEVER pour water onto the calcium
chloride. A chlorine gas can be generated which is poi-
sonous and explosive. This can be avoided by slowly
adding calcium chloride fl akes to water and stirring un-
til they are dissolved.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face
protection.
Replacement Parts
FIG. 15: Where replacement parts are necessary for
periodic maintenance and servicing, replacement parts
from Gillison’s must be used to restore your equipment
to original specifi cations.
