1-22. FUEL SYSTEM (LP-GAS). The LP-Gas system


consists of a replaceable tank (33 -1/2 pound capacity),
a filter, a converter, and the carburetor. The fuel is
confined in the tank as a liquid under pressure. When
the valve is opened, the liquid passes to the converter
where it is changed into a gas, and then is metered to
the carburetor.

which that component is listed. Install the component ac-
cordingly.
2-3. VISUAL INSPECTION FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE.
Although every attempt has been made at the factory to
protect the equipment against damage during shipment,
it is possible for some damage to be incurred. It is ne-
cessary, therefore, that a careful, visual inspection be
made of the lift truck upon delivery and before placing
it in operation. It is further recommended that a written
record be maintained which outlines the nature of the
damage, and the urgency required in its correction.

starting motor drive to come to a complete stop before
making a second attempt. This will prevent damage
to the starting motor housing, the drive, and the fly-
wheel ring gear. On a gasoline engine, it may be ne-
cessary to use the choke (5, figure 1-9). When the en-
gine starts, allow it to warm up gradually to its normal
operating temperature (approximately 180 ° F.). Do not
race the engine during this warm-up period.
CAUTION
If, after starting the engine, there is very
little or no pressure indicated on the engine

in pressure while operating the lift truck, stop
the engine immediately and determine the
cause. Correction usually consists of replen-
ishing the crankcase oil supply. Located on

on climatic conditions. If there is no danger of freezing,
use a solution of clean, soft water and rust inhibitor;
however, if the truck will be exposed to freezing tem-
peratures, use a permanent type anti-freeze.

3-25. Avoid the use of water having a high mineral con-


tent or containing other impurities. Water containing
minerals or other foreign material will form deposits
throughout the cooling system. These deposits, in ad-
dition to restricting the proper flow of coolant, act as an
insulator to prevent the effective transfer of heat. Clean
rain water and a rust inhibitor is a good coolant solution.

an occasional cleaning--particularly at seasonal changes
when anti-freeze solution is added or drained. The proper
method of cleaning depends on the condition of the system.
The exterior of the radiator should also be cleaned regular-

radiator fins and reduce cooling efficiency. Clean the fins
with forced air or water. Straighten any bent fins noticed
during the cleaning operation, but be careful not to dam-
