To start the JLG G6-42P, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the transmission is in neutral, and turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine starts. Release the key once the engine is running.
Routine maintenance should be conducted every 250 hours of operation, including checking fluid levels, inspecting hoses and belts, and lubricating components. Refer to the operator's manual for a detailed schedule.
Check for hydraulic fluid leaks, ensure fluid levels are adequate, inspect hoses for wear or damage, and listen for abnormal noises. If problems persist, consult a professional technician.
The JLG G6-42P is designed to run on diesel fuel. Use clean, good quality diesel to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
To check the transmission fluid level, ensure the forklift is on a level surface. Locate the transmission dipstick, remove it, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, then remove again to check the fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
Common brake issues include squeaking, reduced braking efficiency, or pedal pulsation. Check brake pads for wear, inspect brake lines for leaks, and ensure the brake fluid is at the correct level. Replace or repair components as needed.
A pre-operation inspection should include checking fluid levels, inspecting tires for damage or wear, ensuring lights and signals are functioning, and testing the brakes and steering system. Report any issues before operation.
If overheating occurs, stop the forklift and allow the engine to cool. Check coolant levels and inspect for leaks. Ensure the radiator is free from debris. If the issue persists, seek professional assistance.
Maintain regular engine tune-ups, keep tires properly inflated, use high-quality fuel, and avoid excessive idling. Proper loading and operation techniques can also improve fuel efficiency.
When storing, ensure the forklift is on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Disconnect the battery, check and top off all fluids, and cover the forklift to protect it from the elements.
