Engine parts that are hot, or parts that are moving, ‘can cause personal injury. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO) which can cause personal injury or death. Start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area only. In an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. Troubleshooting can be difficult, On the pages thet follow is a list of possible problems. To make a repair to ‘a problem, make reference to the probable cause This lst of problems, causes and corrections will only give an indication of where a possible problem can be {and what repairs are needed. Normally, mare or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendations in the list, Remember that a problem is not normally caused only by one part, but by the relation of one part with the other parts. This list cannot give all possible problems and probable causes. The serviceman must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.

NOTE: A lift truck, that does not operate with a heavy load all the time, can operate efficiently with a leaner Power mixture setting (less than 1.0 to 1.5 percent CO). This is because the truck will not be in operation Constantly in a load condition for a long period of time, During heavy load and high speed conditions the it truck requires a richer power mixture setting (1.0 t0 1.5 percent CO).
