OUTLINE OF SERVICE

19. OUTLINE OF SERVICE

Use Komatsu Forklift specified parts and lubricants for replacement.

When changing or adding oil, use only the oil that is recommended. Do not use a different kind or grade of oil.

Unless otherwise specified, the oil and coolant used at delivery from the factory shall be as shown in the table
below.

19.1 SUITABLE OIL

19.1.1 OIL
Since the oil is used for the work equipment, etc., under severe conditions (at high temperature and high pressure), it will deteriorate as operating time passes. Always use an oil matching the grade and working temperatures given in the Operation Manual.
Always replace the oil at specified time intervals even if it is not deteriorated.

Oil is often compared to human blood.

A lift truck should be maintained with the same care taken for the human body so that impurities (water,
metal chips, dust, etc.) do not enter the lift truck system.
Most lift truck malfunctions are caused by the entry of impurities into the various systems.
Take special care to avoid the entry of impurities during storage and lubrication, etc.

Never blend oils of different grades or brands.

Add specified volume of oil.

Too little or too much oil may both cause problems in the fork lift truck.

If the oil in the work equipment becomes cloudy, it is likely that air or water have entered the circuit. Consult a
Komatsu Forklift Truck dealer/distributor.

When replacing oil, replace the relevant filters at the same time.

19. OUTLINE OF SERVICE

19.1.2 GREASE
Grease prevents wear and tear and the generation of squeaking noise from the joints, etc.

Lift trucks are provided with grease nipples in various places. Some of these are not mentioned in this manual
since they are for overhauling purposes and do not require greasing.
If friction is noticed in movable parts after operation, grease them.

After greasing, wipe off any old grease that is forced out, especially on rotating parts that will be worn by adhering sand and dirt.

19.1.3
Store and preserve oil so as to prevent entry of dirt, dust, water or other contaminants.

When storing oil drums for long periods, place them side-by-side with filler sides facing in the same direction.
If necessary to store drums outdoors, cover them with waterproof sheeting. Ensure that the screw caps
(bung plugs) are tight.

To prevent oil deterioration during long periods of storage, use drums on a first-in, first-out basis.

19.1.4 FILTERS
Filters are very important safety items which prevent problems caused by impurities contained in the oil or
hydraulic circuit which sends oil into important units. Periodically replace the filters referring to this manual.

When replacing oil filters, check for metal powder or shavings deposited on the used filters.

Do not unpack replacement filters until immediately before installation.

Always use specified filters.

22.

PERIODIC REPLACEMENT OF SAFETY CRITICAL PARTS

To ensure safety at all times when operating or driving the lift truck, the lift truck user must always carry out periodic
maintenance. In addition, to further improve safety, the user should also perform periodic replacement of parts
given in the table below. These parts, in particular, are closely relate to safety and fire prevention.
The material of these parts may change over time, or they may easily wear or deteriorate. However, it is difficult to
judge the condition of these parts simply by periodic maintenance. The parts listed should always be replaced after
a fixed, specified time has passed, regardless of their condition. This is necessary to ensure that these parts maintain their full function at all times.
Note that if these parts show any abnormality before the replacement interval has passed, they should be repaired
or replaced immediately.
If the hose clamps show any signs of deterioration, such as deformation or cracking, replace them at the same time
as the hoses.
Note that this periodic replacement is not covered by warranty.

CHECK SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE

Precautions when handling battery:

Battery electrolyte is dangerous. If it gets into your eyes or upon your skin
or clothes, wash it off with large amounts of water quickly. If it gets into your
eyes, seek medical attention immediately.
Keep away from sparks or flame.
To avoid gas explosions, do not smoke or cause short circuits or sparks near
the battery.
CHECK SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
1. Charge the battery, and after charging, check that the battery electrolyte level is correct.
2. Using a specific gravity meter and thermometer, measure
the specific gravity and temperature of the battery electrolyte.
3. Insert the values measured in Steps 1 and 2 in the formula
below, and calculate S20.
S20 = St + 0.0007 (t - 20)
S20:

Specific gravity at 68F (20oC)

St:
Specific gravity (measured value) at toC
t:

CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM

After the engine has been operated, the coolant is HOT. There is a danger of
burns and injury if the cooling water is drained immediately. Always wait for
the engine to cool down before draining the coolant.
The cleaning operation is carried out with the engine running. The lift truck
may move suddenly and unexpectedly, so never go under the lift truck during
this operation. Never go under the lift truck when the engine is running.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and coolant is hot. Boiling
water and steam may spurt out. Always wait for the temperature to go down,
then turn the radiator cap slowly to release pressure gradually before removing
the cap completely.

CLEAN RADIATOR
Stop the lift truck on level ground.
1. After the engine has cooled off, open the drain valves at the
bottom of the radiator and the engine cylinder block to drain
the water/coolant mixture.
2. After draining, close the drain valves. Fill the radiator with
fresh water (tap water) and radiator flushing fluid through the
water filler, then run the engine at idling for approximately 15
minutes.
3. Stop the engine, open the drain valves to drain the water,
then add fresh water and run the engine at idling until
clean, clear water comes out of the drain valves
(5 - 10 minutes).
4. Stop the engine, drain all the water from the drain valves,
then close the drain valves and fill the radiator with fresh water
and long-life coolant.

NOTICE

When replacing the fuses, always turn OFF the electric power (turn the starting switch to the OFF
position) first.
Always replace the fuses with a fuse of the same capacity.

The fuses are used to protect the electrical components and wiring from burning out.
1. Turn the starting switch to the OFF position.
2. Open the cover of the fuse box and replace necessary fuses inside.
To remove the cover from the fuse box, push the side face of the cover
lightly with your fingers and pull it out.
Check the relationship between the fuses and the electrical components when replacing.

25.2 REPLACING TIRES
1. Stop the lift truck on a flat, safe area and apply the parking brake.
2. Chock the wheel diagonally across from the wheel to be replaced.

After confirming that the rim mating bolts are tight, loosen the lug nuts.
NEVER loosen the rim mating bolts by mistake.

3. Using a lug wrench, loosen the lug nuts until they can be turned by hand.

Jack up the fork lift truck after confirming that the jack will not slip. NEVER place
any part of your body under any part of the fork lift truck!
4. Place the jack on the jacking point and raise the lift truck up
until the wheel to be replaced clears the ground.
5. Remove the lug nuts, then remove the wheel.

Ask a tire and wheel specialist to carry out disassembly and assembly of tires and wheels.

6. Install the replacement wheel on the hub and hand tighten the
lug nuts to hold the wheel in place.
7. Tighten the lug nuts again with a lug wrench, using a
diagonal criss-cross or star pattern, ensuring that the wheel
is snugly in place, but not fully tightened.
8. Let the jack down slowly to lower the lift truck. Tighten the
lug nuts to the specified torque.
(For specified torque, see 21. SERVICE DATA.)

25. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES

3-34

25. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES

Always ask a specialist to carry out disassembly of the tires, tubes and rims, and
for inflation of the tires. The tires used on forklift trucks are at a high inflation
pressure, so operations with tires are extremely dangerous.
The tires are inflated to a high pressure, so deformed or cracked rims are
extremely dangerous.
Check carefully before inflating tires. NEVER use tires with deformed or
cracked rims.
Before inflating the tires, adjust the pressure of the air compressor to the correct
set pressure so that the tires are not inflated above the set pressure.

9. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the set pressure.

(For details of the set inflation pressure, see 21. SERVICE DATA.)
