Precautions and Maintenance for Internal Combustion Diesel Forklifts

The engine, as the heart of an internal combustion forklift, is naturally a vital component of the entire vehicle. Whether it is the engine of an internal combustion diesel forklift or the motor of an electric forklift, it directly affects the operation of the whole vehicle. Therefore, daily maintenance of the internal combustion forklift engine is an indispensable task. Below, Niuli will introduce the precautions and daily maintenance contents for the engine. 1. Precautions for using the internal combustion diesel forklift engine A new engine or an internal combustion diesel engine after major overhaul must not be operated at full load and high speed at the beginning. It must run at low speed and light load for 50 hours before transitioning to normal operation. Ensure the cleanliness of the fuel; if necessary, filter it through sedimentation or silk cloth filtration. Maintain normal water temperature (70~85°C) and oil pressure (0.2~0.4MPa at medium speed). If any abnormality is found during operation, stop the machine immediately for inspection. "Hard water" should not be used as cooling water to prevent scale formation and shorten the engine's service life. 2. Daily maintenance of the internal combustion diesel forklift Check whether the oil level in the oil pan is between the two scale marks on the dipstick and close to the upper scale mark. For a new engine or an internal combustion diesel engine that has been out of service for a long time, after adding oil, run it at low speed for 5 to 10 minutes before stopping, then measure the oil level again with the dipstick. Check the water level in the radiator. Check the oil level in the fuel injection pump; if insufficient, add oil to the specified position. Eliminate the three types of leaks (oil, water, and air). Check the tightening condition of parts and accessories. Check the cleaning condition, remove oil stains and dust, and pay special attention to the dryness and cleanliness of electrical equipment. After 50 hours of light-load operation, a new engine should promptly replace the oil (including the oil in the fuel injection pump) and the engine oil filter element, and clean the oil pan and the engine oil collection filter. Protect daily lubricating oil additives in a timely manner.
