 SERVICE DATA
 Fuel Information
Use only fuel recommended in this section.

 Fuel Specifications

Fuel types
The recommended fuels provide maximum engine service life and performance. They are distillate fuels. They are commonly
called diesel fuel, furnace oil, gas oil or kerosene (for cold weather operation).
Note: The manufacturer strongly recommends the use of fuels that meet the recommended fuels specification.

Fuel sulfur content

- The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will affect the engine oil recommendations. Fuel sulfur is chemically changed during
combustion to form both sulfurous and sulfuric acid. These chemically attack metal surfaces and cause corrosive wear.
- Any API classification performance of oil should have sufficient Total Base Number (TBN) for fuels with less than 0. 5%
sulfur.
- For fuels with 0.5% to 1. 5% sulfur by weight, engine oil must have a TBN of 20 times the percentage of fuel sulfur as
measured by the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) D-2896 method. (ASTM D-2896 can normally be found at
your local technological society, library or college.)

 Coolant Information
The manufacturer recommends that the coolant mix contain 50% commercially available automotive antifreeze, and 50%
water.
Note:
- To reduce the risk of damage to your engine, do not add coolant to an overheated engine. Allow the engine to cool first.
- Dowtherm 209 full-fill coolant will lower the water pump cavitation temperature and boiling point. These lowered
temperatures will cause overheating at a lower ambient temperature than an ethylene glycol and water mix. If Dowtherm®
is used, follow the instructions provided and use only the inhibitor package recommended by the supplier.
- If the lift truck is to be stored in, or shipped to, an area with freezing temperatures, the cooling system must be protected
to the lowest expected outside (ambient) temperature. The engine cooling system is protected with a commercially
available automotive antifreeze when shipped from the factory. In cold weather, check the specific gravity of the coolant
frequently to ensure adequate protection.
- Clean the cooling system if it is contaminated, the engine overheats or foaming is observed in the radiator. Old coolant
should be drained, the system cleaned and new coolant added---as recommended---using a commercially available
automotive antifreeze. Filling at over 5 L (1.3 U.S. gal.) per minute could cause air pockets in the cooling system.
- After draining and refilling the cooling system, run the engine with the radiator cap off. Run it until the coolant reaches its
normal operating temperatures and the coolant level stabilizes.
- Add coolant as required to fill the system to the proper level. Operate with a thermostat in the cooling system all year
round. Cooling system problems could arise without a thermostat.

 Coolant Water
The manufacturer recommends the use of distilled water or deionized water to reduce the potential and severity of chemical
insolubility.

- Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and - Using water that meets the minimum acceptable water

chemical compounds by combining with cooling chemical compounds completely but should control

tendency of silicates and phosphates to precipitate out-
of-solution increases with increasing water hardness.
- Hard water, or water with high levels of calcium and
magnesium ions, encourages the formation of
insoluble chemicals, especially after a number of
heating and cooling cycles.

Acceptable Water

Water Content Limits (ppm)

Chlorides (CI) 50 ppm (maximum)
Sulfates (SO4) 50 ppm (maximum)
Total Hardness 80 mg/l
Total Solids 250 ppm (maximum)
pH 6.0 to 8.0

ppm = parts per million

 Antifreeze Solution
The manufacturer recommends that the coolant mix contain 50% commercially available automotive antifreeze, or equivalent,
and acceptable water to maintain an adequate water pump cavitation temperature for efficient water pump performance.
Note:
- Do not add pure (100%) antifreeze to the cooling system. Add antifreeze mixed with distilled water using the same freeze
protection ratio that is in your cooling system.
- Premix the coolant solution to provide protection to the lowest expected outside (ambient) temperature. Pure undiluted
antifreeze will freeze at -23°C (-10°F).
- Use a greater concentration (above 50%) of commercially available automotive antifreeze only as needed for anticipated
outside (ambient) temperatures.
- Do not exceed the coolant-to-water mix ratio recommendations provided with the commercially available automotive
antifreezes.
- Most commercial antifreezes are formulated for gasoline engine applications and will, therefore, have high silicate
content.

Note:
- Avoid mixing lubricants. In some cases, different brands of lubricants are not compatible with each other and deteriorate
when mixed. It is best to stick with the same brand at successive service intervals.
