d.
Engine Starting.
(1)
Apply parking brake (Table 2-1, 2).
(2)
Place transmission control lever (Table 2-1, 5) in neutral position.
(3)
Turn MAIN POWER switch (Table 2-1, 20) to the ON position.
WARNING
Ensure that all personnel are clear of forklift before engine start is attempted. Operator must
visually check to see that all areas of the forklift are clear of personnel before attempting to start
engine. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death to personnel.
CAUTION
Do not turn engine switch to start position while engine is rotating, or damage to equipment may
result.
If engine fails to start, wait 15 seconds before next start attempt to allow starter to cool.
NOTE
If engine fails to start, the engine switch must be turned to the off position, prior to the next attempt.
This will disengage an engine restart interlock which prevents starter engagement from the ignition
position.
(4)
Turn the engine switch (Table 2-1, 1) to the start position for about 15 seconds or until engine starts.
When engine starts, release switch. Engine switch will return to ignition position.
CAUTION
If OIL PRESS gauge does not show engine oil pressure within 5 seconds after starting engine, shut
down engine immediately and notify supervisor. Lack of lubrication will damage engine.
(5)
Check that engine oil pressure gauge (Table 2-2, 3) reads 30 psi (207 kPa) minimum during idle and 30 to
60 psi (207-414 kPa) during normal operation.
CAUTION
Engine oil pressure gauge should indicate 30 psi (207 kPa) minimum when engine is running. Lack
of lubrication will damage engine.
(6)
Run engine for approximately three minutes.
(7)
Perform operator PMCS procedures designated During in the Interval column (Table 2-3).
