6.1 Caution for starting
(1) The amount of hydraulic oil:The oil level should be at the middle position between
the upper and lower scale marks of oil level meter.
(2) Check if there is any leak or damage on the piping joints, pumps and valves.
(3) Check the travelling brakes:
a)The free travel of brake pedal should be within the range of 40mm.
b)The clearance between the front floor and the pedal should be bigger than 20mm.
(4) Often check the parking [Link] laden truck can park on the 20% grade
ramp,when the parking lever is pulled to the bottom.
(5) Check the meters,lights,switches and electric wirings to see if they are properly in
operation.

6.3 Cautions on cooling system
(1) During operation, if the radiator of forklift “boils” or the temperature of cooling
liquid is too high, do not open the cover of radiator immediately. If the cover needs to be
removed to find out the cause for it, reduce the rotational speed of engine to the moderate,
slowly rotate the cover and not remove it very soon so as to prevent operators from being
scalded by the splashing liquid. When recovering the radiator, it must be screwed tightly,
otherwise, the system may not be well enclosed and the system pressure stipulated cannot
be formed.
(2) There is a compensation can on the left of [Link] letter”FULL”and
“LOW”are marked on the upper and lower end of the can [Link] antifreeze agent
level should be between marked lever. Antifreeze liquid of same type should be
replenished after the liquid leaks or evaporates, which is not changed around the year,
regardless of summer or winter. Generally, after being used for one year, it should be let
out for filtration and purification and then use again.
(3) Based on different working conditions, regularly clean the outer surface of the
2
radiator with detergent, compressed air or high-pressure water (no high than 4kg/cm ).

certain data after the turning off of the engine. So turn off the supplying power which is
power switch after 30 seconds of the turning off of the key switch. If the turning off of the
power is too early, the ECM will display faults. The power of the engine will be reduced as
well.
(3) Fill up the oil filter with oil first before the installation of remote oil filter. Connect
the pipeline first, and then install the whole part.
(4) It is not allowed to flush the engine with water in case of ECM short circuit causing
by the entering of water into the electrical system.
(5) Please connect with the local Cummins dealers in time when a fault of the engine
is displayed. It is strictly prohibit from detaching the high pressure pipeline because the
maximize pressure in the high pressure chamber is up to 160MPa.
(6) Before loading, keep the machine in an idle mood 3-5 minutes after the starting of
the engine. Before turning off the key switch, keep the machine in an idle mood 3-5
minutes after full loading.
(7) It is recommended not to start the engine before the finding out of the fault code. It
is strictly prohibit from running whit high speed or load after starting.
(8) In order to protect the turbocharger, it is not allowed to start the engine without air
cleaner.
(9) 6-wire electronic throttle replaces the mechanical lever throttle, so there is no
connection between the throttle and engine operation. The reflection of throttle operation
thus becomes more sensitive.
[Link] automatic diagnostic system
Cummins QSB4.5 has a function of automatic diagnosis and alarming. If there is
something wrong with the whole machine, both the yellow warning light and the red
warning light on the instrument will flash indicating that it is need to check the whole
machine. And also fault code can be read through the red warning light flashing frequency.
Fault indications with two different colors are used according to the severity of
failure.
[ ] yellow warning light: the yellow warning light is on indicating that it needs to
troubleshoot as soon as possible.
[ ● ] red stop signal: the red light is on indicating that it needs to stop the engine and
troubleshoot as soon as possible. Do not start the engine before troubleshooting.
Check whether the current fault code exists or not .turn the key switch to "OFF"
position, and the diagnostic switch to the “ON" position, then the key switch to the "ON"
position.
If there is no record of the current fault code, the yellow warning light and red stop
signal will be on at the same time, and will be always on.
-20-
If there is current fault code record, the yellow warning light and red stop lights will
turn on instantly, and then start flashing recorded fault code.
Fault codes will flash in the following order:
The yellow warning light lights up. After 1 to 2 seconds’ pause, the red signal begins
to flash the fault code with 1 to 2 seconds between each number.
The yellow light lights up again after the red signal finishes its flashing. And then red
signal repeats flashing the fault code.
When the whole machine is more than one fault, use the fault diagnosis switch for
page turning.
Flip the "idling adjustment switch" to the (+) position to check the next fault code;
Flip the "idling adjustment switch" to the (-) position to check the fault code before. If
there is only one fault code, the fault signal will display the one constantly in either (+)
position or (-) position.
Disconnect the diagnosis switch when the diagnostic system is not in use. If the
diagnosis switch is not turned off, ECM will not record some of the fault code.
If the diagnosis switch is not turned off after the starting of the engine, when adjusting
"idling adjustment switch", the idling of the engine will be adjusted. The idling will be
increased or decreased by 25r/min in each page up or page down .

Operator presence system(OPS) has two functions:
(1)Lock the transmission
When the OPS detects the driver leaving the seat for five seconds, it will disengage
the transmission to cut off the power; when driver seats back and the seat switch is closed,
the direction lever is shifted to neutral position, then the lock status can be released.
(2)Warning indication
When the OPS detects the driver leaving the seat for one second, the OPS alarm will
make a warning sound as "BEE", in the mean time the warning light will show on the dash
display; the warning light will be always on during the driver absence, it means the forklift
is locked on the transmission. When the driver seats back the forklift will be still locked if
the direction lever is not put into neutral position, in that case the OPS alarm will make a
continuing warning sound as "BEE...."

3.1 General description
The transmission adopted in this machine is a rational combination of torque
converter with power-shift type [Link] has the following features.
(1) The inching valve is provided so as to improve the inching [Link],the
inching performance can be maintained when starting and at any rotational speed of
engine.
(2) The clutch has 7 steel plates and 7 specially treated paper [Link]
excellent durability is ensured.
(3) The torque converter is provided with the free wheel so as to enhance the
transmission efficiency(3-element,1-stage,2-phase type).
(4) The line filter is provided in the torque converter circuit so as to improve the
durability.
3.2 Torque converter
Generally,the torque converter consists of pump wheel fitted to the input
shaft,turbine wheel fitted to the output shaft,and stator wheel fixed to the housing(3-
element,1-stage type).
The pump wheel is rotated by the drive shaft,so that the fluid in the pump forced out
by the centrifugal force along the vanes of pump wheel.(At this time mechanical energy is
converted to kinetic energy).
Thereby the fluid flows into the impeller of turbine wheel,transmitting torque to the
output [Link] direction of the fluid leaving the turbine wheel is changed by the stator
wheel so that it flows into the pump wheel at the best [Link] this time a reaction torque
pushing the stator is generated,as a result of which the output torque becomes larger than
the input torque by the valve equal to the reaction torque.
As the rotational speed of turbine wheel increases,approaching to the input rotational
speed,the change of fluid flow angle reduces,and the output shaft torque also [Link]
finally the fluid begins to flow contrary to the direction of stator vanes,as a result of which
the reaction torque beings to affect in the reverse direction.
In this case the output shaft torque becomes smaller than the input shaft [Link] as
to prevent this phenomenon,a free wheel(one-way clutch) is provided on the stator. When
the reaction torque acts in the reverse direction,the stator wheel rotates [Link] this state
the input torque becomes equal to the output torque so that high performance is ensured.
As the phase of torque transmission is changed by the mechanical means (clutch),the
torque converter is called the 2-phase [Link] features smooth operation and enhanced
efficiency.
The torque converter is fixed to the flywheel through the flex plate so that it rotates
always together with the engine.
-74-
The torque converter case, turbine wheel, pump wheel and stator wheel are mounted
inside the torque converter. The inside of the torque converter is filled with torque
converter fluid. The inside of torque converter is filled with torque converter fluid.
The pump wheel has gear at its end which is engaged with the drive gear of charging
pump to drive the charging pump.
The turbine wheel is spline-jointed to the main [Link] serves to transmit power to

3.6 Hydraulic circulation system(See Fig.3.7)
When the engine is started and the charging pump is put into operation,the torque
converter fluid in the oil tank (transmission case) is forcibly sent to the control valve from
the pump through the strainer.
The fluid sent from the charging pump is divided to two directions in the torque
converter case,one for torque converter and the other for transmission.

and then returns to the oil tank through the filter.
When the selector valve is in neutral position,the circuit from the selector valve to the
clutch is [Link] the fluid is joined with the torque converter filling fluid.
When the selector spool is set to the forward or reverse position,fluid flows into the
accumulator due to action of modulate valve,so that pressure rises gradually,During this
time the clutch starts to engage.
When the accumulator is filled with fluid,hydraulic preesure rises intensively so that
the hydraulic clutch is completely engaged.
While the forward or reverse clutch is operating,another clutch is rotating between
the sintered plates and the steel [Link] this part is lubricated with oil sent from
the oil cooler to prevent seizure of plates.
When the brake pedal is depressed and the inching valve is actuated,most of

hydraulic oil supplied to the clutch is drained from the inching valve and returns to the
transmission [Link] fluid for the torque converter circulates in the same manner as in
neutral state.
3.7 Cautions when the machine trouble occurs
When the machine with Tor-Co-Matic transmission cannot run by itself due to
trouble and it must be dragged with another machine,be sure to observe the following
requirements.
(1) Remove the propeller shaft between the differential and the transmission.
(2) Set the change lever in neutral position.
Since the torque converter pump does not operate,normal lubrication is not
[Link],if rotation is transmitted from the front wheel to the transmission
gear and clutch disk,seizure may occur.

5.1 General description
The braking system consists of traveling and parking brakes. The traveling brake is
mounted inside the driving wheel, while the parking brake is mounted on a intermediate
shaft at the rear side of the gear box. The traveling brake has two modes of power brake
and vacuum brake.
5.2 Power brake (For the schematic diagram of the system, refer to 5.1)
The traveling braking system that adopts the power brake mode consists of brake
pedal, brake valve, energy storage and brake.
The power brake is to make use of the pressure oil transferred by pinion pump set
specially for the hydraulic system of forklift, one way of oil enters into brake valve and the
sub-pump of brake to produce braking, while the other way of oil enters into accumulator
to store energy for spare use. Both ways of the oil are controlled by the stroke of brake
pedal.
5.2.1 Brake pedal device (See Fig. 5.2)
Brake pedal and inching pedal are mounted at the left side of the frame through a
bracket. The brake pedal at the right side pushes forward the piston assembly of brake
valve through connecting bar and makes the pedal control the pressure oil. The inching
pedal at the left side and brake pedal at the right side play the role of linkage and can
manipulate the brake valve and the inching valve of gearbox as well.

5.2.2 Brake valve (See Fig. 5.3)
(1) Non-brake status
In case of not-braking state and due to opening of port A of brake valve , the pump
interface and the steering interface are interlinked and the steering works normally. When
the brake pedal is not stepped on, even if the steering operation will not produce braking,
the oil pressure of control oil pressure chamber D will not rise as the port B is closed at this
time.
(2)Starting and finishing of the braking
a)When the brake pedal is stepped on, the piston assembly (part NO.10) moves to the
left , the valve sleeve (part NO.7) and backflush piston (part NO.5) are pressed to the left
side by the spring set (part NO.8) and meanwhile the return spring (part NO.6) is
compressed to the left side .
b)The movement of work piece (part NO.7) closes the place A, breaks the interface of
D and oil return tank. B opens correspondingly and makes D chamber and pump interface
connect.
c)At this time, the valve sleeve (part NO.7) moves to the left and the oil pressure that
leads to the sub-pump of brake rises along with the increase of oil pressure of pump
interface and chamber D due to compression. Meanwhile, the relatively higher oil pressure
in chamber D moves to the right and push the backflush piston (part NO.5) and this
pushing force is in balance with pedal force.
d)When the maximum pedal force is input in the right end of piston and in order that
the oil pressure of D chamber will not exceed the maximum adjusting oil pressure, the
bolts and pedal brackets are used for position limitation.
e)When your foot leaves off the pedal , the counterforce of backflush piston and the
spring counterforce of work pieces (part NO.6) and (part NO.8) return the valve sleeve
(part NO.7) to the original position and the braking process is finished.
(3)The working process of accumulator
When the oil pump stops working, ( due to engine stops) or is damaged, the
accumulator needs to enter into working state.
a)When the brake pedal is further stepped on, valve sleeve (part NO.7), back flush
piston (part NO.5) and contact pin of check valve move together towards left, the contact
pin will prop open the ball and chamber D and accumulator are interlinked at this time and
the pressure oil of accumulator is utilized to play the braking role for brake sub-pump.
b)When your foot leaves off the pedal, the valve sleeve , back flush piston and contact
pin move to the right at the same time. The ball of the check valve restores joining with
valve seat under the action of spring force (check valve closes) and the contact pin stops at
this position correspondingly.

c)The backflush piston moves to the right and C open to make the oil of brake sub-
pump of brake return to the fuel tank through chamber D.

5.2.3 Accumulator (See Fig. 5.4)
When the engine stops working or there is trouble on the oil pump, the accumulator
can be used as the abnormal (extra) energy to meet the needs of braking.
The accumulating mode is of spring type.
The Fig. Shows the non-accumulating state and the buzzer of alarming switch is in
normal sounding state.
When the brake pedal is operated and the oil pressure reaches over 3.9 MPa, the
check valve opens and feeds the oil to the accumulator so as to push forward the piston.
Move to the left and compress the combined spring to set up oil pressure.
Meanwhile, the piston moves towards left and makes the switch control lever at
alarming switch move towards left under the action of spring pressure and the switch valve
spool drop into recess of switch control lever. Now the alarm is in the silence state.
With the increase of oil pressure of the pump, the left moving stroke of the piston is
restricted by the stop tube in the middle of combined spring. The accumulator stores the
maximum energy at this time and the oil pressure is 13 MPa, which is controlled by safety
valve.
5.3 Vacuum servo brake
5-7t forklift that matched with domestic machine adopts vacuum servo brake, i.e.
vacuum booster and main brake cylinder (main pump) assembly to realize the servo brake.
The vacuum booster is to use vacuum (negative pressure) as dynamic force (use the
pressure difference between vacuum pressure and atmosphere) to obtain the higher oil
pressure of sub-cylinder (sub-pump) of brake under the action of light brake pedal force
of operator and play the role of boosting and force saving, thus alleviating the working
strength of drivers and improving the safety of traveling brake.

5.3.1 Vacuum booster and main brake cylinder assembly
The outline dimension of 9″+10″dual-diaphragm vacuum booster and main brake
cylinder assembly used for the forklift 5-7t is shown in Fig. 5.5 and the internal structure
is in the Fig. 5.6. The working status of the assembly is briefed as follows:
(1) Non-working status
When the vacuum booster does not work, the big cone spring 3 pushes the push rod 1
of control valve together with piston 5 of control valve to the rear end limiting position,
while control air valve 4 is pressed tightly against work piece 5 by small cone spring, thus
closing the air valve port. The two cavities of air cell of booster are interconnected through
channel A, control valve cavity and channel B and are isolated with the atmosphere.
When the engine and vacuum pump are working, there is a certain vacuum degree in both
front and rear cavities of the air cell of the booster.

(2) Working conditions of braking
a)As soon as the brake pedal is stepped on, the pedal acts on the control valve rod 1
after the pedal force being amplified by lever and compresses the work piece 3 and moves
forward with work piece 5. Certain pressure will be produced inside main brake cylinder
through the actions of feed back disc 10 and push rod 13 of main cylinder and transmitted
to the sub-cylinder (sub-pump) of brake inside the braking wheel 5. Meanwhile, the
control air valve 4 moves forward together with work piece 5 under the action of small cone
spring 6, contacts with vacuum valve port on control valve body 7 and closes it, thus
isolating the front and rear cavities of the air cell of booster. (i.e. the rear cavity of air cell
of booster disconnects with vacuum source.
b)With the continuous moving forward of the push rod 1 of the control valve , the
piston 5 of control valve leaves work piece 4, the outside atmosphere fills into the rear
cavity of air-cell of booster through air filter pad 2 , control valve cavity and channel B.
Thus, most of the acting force caused by the two cavities of air cell of booster, except a
small part of it is used to balance the acting force of big cone spring 3, acts on the feed
back disc through control valve body 7 and is transmitted to the main brake cylinder, thus
playing the boosting role.
(3)The braking process terminates and the non-working state resumes
a)In the course of stepping on the brake pedal( the push rod of control valve moves
forwards), the air through the air valve port opened constantly enters into the front and rear
cavities of air cell of booster and control valve body constantly moves forward. When the
brake pedal stops being stepped on and stays at a position, the control valve body moves
forward with it and stops at the position that can close the air valve port. Now, the vacuum
valve port and air valve port are closed and the booster is in the balanced state, i.e. the air
pressure difference of the front and rear cavities of the air cell of the booster remains
balanced with the oil pressure of the oil in main brake cylinder and pushing force of push
rod of control valve and the wheel brake is under the braking state.
b)When the brake pedal is released, the push rod 1 and piston 5 of the control valve
are pushed backward at once under the action of return spring 14 and big cone spring 3 and
make the control air valve 4 separate with vacuum valve port, thus a braking process is
finished and the original non-working state restored.
5.3.2 Installation method for vacuum booster and main brake cylinder assembly
(1)Connect the 4-M8 bolt of booster with mounting bracket, then mount it on the
frame of forklift, connect the adjusting fork at the end of booster with connecting bar of
brake pedal, then tightened 4-M8 bolts. The tightening moment is 12N.m-18N.m.
(2)Connect the vacuum host to the vacuum pipe connector of booster and keep it
sealed.
-98-
(3)Connect the brake oil pipe with the 2-M10 × 1 thread at oil outlet of main cylinder
of brake. The tightening moment is 12N.m-16N.m.
(4)Open the screwed cover of liquid storage tank, fill in the brake liquid (the dust or
impurities are not allowed to enter) and drain off the air inside the entire braking system.
(5)When the main cylinder of brake or vacuum booster is independently changed, the
tightening moment of the connecting nut between the two is 12 N.m-18N.m.
(6)Please do not easily adjust the vacuum booster and push-rod head of main brake
cylinder matching surface.
5.3.3 Points of attention for users
(1)The product must use the braking liquid stipulated in the instruction.
(2)The air in the pipes must be drained completely after the assembly is added with
braking liquid.
(3)Observe if the liquid level of storage tank is in the middle position after exhaust.
(4)The troubles listed in Table 5.3 must be repaired by the professional personnel
with qualification and the users are not allowed to dismantle it without authorization.

6.4 Steering axle
5-10t forklift entirely adopts transverse steering oil cylinder. The front and rear of
the center are supported by two supporting axle through sleeve on the steering axle base,
the later is fixed on the forklift frame. The two supporting axle can sway a certain angle to
the right and left. The structures of steering axle of 5-10t forklifts are the same in the most
parts and the main structure is presented in the Fig. 6.3 and Fig. 6.4.
Steering axle is mainly made up of steering axle body, left and right steering knuckle
assembly, connecting rod assembly, wheel, wheel hub and steering oil cylinder
6.4.1 Steering axle body
Steering axle body is a steel plate with welding structure. On its two ends there are
upper and lower bosses (holes) that connect the left and right steering knuckle assembly
with the axle body by using the steering stub. The opening size of the boss for 5-8t forklift
is small while that for 10t is large.
6.4.2 Left and right steering knuckle assembly
Left and right steering knuckle assembly is supported on the wheel hub through two
thrust bearings and the wheel is mounted on the wheel hub. Oil seal is provided on the
wheel hub in order to prevent grease from overflowing. The plane thrust bearing is
mounted between the steering knuckle and the upper and lower bosses of steering axle
body, under which a gasket can be used to regulate the rotation clearance. In the inner hole
of upper and lower bosses, the steering stub is mounted and is supported by the upper and
lower needle bearings, under which the oil seal is used. An oil nozzle is mounted on the
upper extreme cover in order to lubricate all the bearings through the inner hole of stub.
Users should fill in the grease on time. The locking pin is used for fixture between the
steering stubs of steering knuckle assembly.
6.4.3 Wheel hub
Wheel hub is spherical iron. As the tires of 8-10t forklifts are different from those of
5-7t, the wheel hubs are also different.
6.4.4 Steering ram (oil cylinder)
The steering ram horizontally set in the middle of the axle body is of double-action
type. The piston rods on two ends are connected with connecting bar assembly; the other
end of the later can propel the steering knuckle arm to make the wheel change direction.
On the two ends of the oil cylinder are the pilot sleeves and the steel-backed bearing ,
baffle plate ,sealing ring and anti-dust ring are installed in the inner holes of the sleeve,
which contact with piston rod. Outside the sleeve are the supporting ring and O-shaped
ring, which contact with the inner wall of the cylinder. The oil cylinder of 5-8t forklift is
for general use. For the structure, refer to Fig. 6.6.

7.6 Operation of tilt lock valve
The tilt—lock valves are intended to prevent vibrations of the mast due to possible
creation of internal negative pressure in the tilt cylinder and also to avoid a danger of the
mast tilting due to accidental lever action when the engine is at [Link] the conventional
model,even if the engine is kept at rest,the mast can be tilted forward by actuating the
[Link] this newly adopted tilt—lock valves does not allow the mast to tilt forward as
far as the engine is at rest,even if the tilt lever is pushed with the full [Link] to fig.7-9
for the construction of the tilt—lock valve.
The port “A” side of the plunger housing is led to the front side of the tilt
cylinder,and the port “B” side to its rear [Link] the tilt lever is pulled(plunger
drawn out),the oil from the pump flows into the port “A” while the port “B” side oil
returns to the tank,due to which the mast is tilted backward by the tilt cylinders.
When the tilt lever is pushed (plunger pressed),the oil from the pump flows into the
port “B”.But the port “A” side oil does not return to the tank unless the poppet
installed in the plunger is moved,nor does the mast tilt [Link],while the engine is
being shut down,the mast never tilts forward nor does the internal pressure in the tilt
cylinders get negative.

The forklift hydraulic circulation system's complexity stems from its dual purpose of power steering and load handling, requiring precise oil flow management. A flow divider valve allows portions of oil from the front main pump for these tasks. This setup ensures efficient coordination between steering and load lifting, allowing for simultaneous and independent operations, thereby enhancing the forklift's operational efficiency and control .
Maintenance of control valves involves disassembling, cleaning, checking parts for wear and burrs, and replacing parts as needed. Proper assembly is critical to avoiding oil leaks and ensuring precise valve function. It involves installing the plunger with components like the poppet and spring, tightening them to specific torques, and ensuring proper O-ring and seal placement. Incorrect assembly or pressure adjustments can damage the hydraulic system or components .
Lift and tilt cylinders in forklifts work by using high-pressure oil to control movement. The lift cylinder, a single-acting type, uses oil at the piston's lower part to push the piston rod upward, lifting the load through chains. Conversely, when tilting forward, the weight causes the pistons to descend, with oil flowing out and regulated by the flow regulator. Tilt cylinders use hydraulic pressure to move pistons, controlled by the tilt lever, which directs oil to respective sides for desired mast positioning .
Incorrect torque application during reassembly can lead to system failures or leaks in forklifts. Under-tightening may cause oil leakage, leading to reduced hydraulic pressure and inefficient operation. Over-tightening can damage components, leading to cracks or deformed seals, compromising the entire hydraulic system's functionality, leading to costly repairs and operational downtime .
The sealing performance of hydraulic piping critically affects forklift operation by preventing oil leaks that could lead to hydraulic inefficiencies, potential part damage, or system failure. Excellent sealing ensures oil tightness, maintaining proper fluid pressure for consistent operations in power steering and load handling. Reliable sealing is essential for maintaining system integrity and avoiding costly maintenance or downtime .
Regulating pressures of safe valves according to the manual is vital because incorrect pressures can result in excessive forces that may damage hydraulic components, leading to potential system breaches or malfunctions. Proper settings ensure operational safety and prevent overloading, maintaining the hydraulic system's optimal performance and prolonging the forklift's lifespan .
Tilt-lock valves prevent vibrations of the mast caused by potential internal negative pressure in the tilt cylinder and avert the mast's unintended forward tilting due to accidental lever activation when the engine is at rest. If the engine is kept at rest, even if the tilt lever is pushed with a full load on a conventional model, the mast can tilt forward. However, the tilt-lock valve prevents this forward tilt, maintaining safety by restricting movement .
The steering cylinder in a forklift's hydraulic system ensures precise and controlled steering. It converts hydraulic energy into mechanical movement, allowing efficient handling and maneuverability of the forklift by translating hydraulic oil pressure into desired directional movements. This is crucial for ensuring operational safety, stability, and agility of the machinery, especially in constrained environments .
Control valves in forklift hydraulic systems manage oil flow by directing the hydraulic oil sent from the rear main pump directly to them. Oil from the front main pump is divided by a flow divider valve into portions for steering and load handling. In a neutral position, oil returns to the tank through the valve. When the lift lever is pulled, the hydraulic oil reaches the lower part of the lift cylinder piston, enabling it to rise. When the tilt lever is operated, oil flows to one side of the piston, directing it accordingly, with the returning oil regulated by the control valve .
Maintaining proper antifreeze levels in forklifts is crucial to ensuring the system pressure remains stable and prevent leaks. The antifreeze level should be between the 'FULL' and 'LOW' markings and replaced with the same type if evaporated or leaked, regardless of season. It generally needs replacement and filtration after one year to ensure efficacy and prevent freezing-related damage .
