TM 10-3930-653-14&P MAST OPERATION Sound  horn,    and  actuate  the  lift    and  tilt  levers  to  be certain  that  the  carriage  moves  up  and  down  properly and the mast can be tilted smoothly. Make certain that the relief valve operates accompanying its  relieving sound when  each  cylinder  piston reaches the stroke end.  Pay attention to system operating sound. CAUTION - WARM UP CYLINDERS- Warm     up     the     hydraulic     cylinders before putting the truck to work. This    lubricates    the    packings    and seals   in   the   cylinders   to   get   them ready for operation. CAUTION Don’t  tilt  the  mast  forward  while  the carriage     is     lifted     high,     especially when a clamp attachment  is fitted to the truck. LIFT CHAIN TENSION CHECK Check the tension and abnormality of the lift chains.  To check   the   tension,   raise      the   fork   about   5cm   (1.97 inches)  above  the  ground  and  push  the  middle  of  the chain  with  the  thumb.    Make  certain  the  tension  for  the right and left chains is even.  If uneven tension is found, loosen  the  lock  nut  of  anchor  pin  and  adjust  the  chain, turning the adjusting nut of the chain anchor pin. CAUTION Don’t use "Grease" but  "Machine Oil (ex.  Hydraulic Oil)" only for lift chain lubrication.        SAE    50w    is    normally recommended   except   for   extremely cold areas. EXHAUST GAS CHECK Check  condition  of  exhaust  gas  after  the  engine  warm- up is finished. Colorless or bluish: Normal - Complete combustion Black: Abnormal - Incomplete Combustion White: Abnormal -  Oil  Consumption  Check  also  the  engine and driving system for clicking or any abnormal noise or vibration. WARNING Exhaust fumes are very dangerous. When starting the lift truck in enclosed  space,  make  sure  the,-e  is enough ventilation.  The exhaust gas check     should     be     done     outdoors. Especially   use   caution   to   avoid   fire hazards.        Pay    special    attention    to signs  of  oil  or  fuel  leaks  and  never leave waste cloth or paper inside  the engine  room.    Make  sure  you  know where  the  fire  extinguishers  are  kept and how to use them. 3-6
