To start the Lull 844 Forklift, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the transmission is in neutral, and all hydraulic controls are in the neutral position. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine starts, then release the key.
Begin with a visual inspection for any visible damage or leaks. Check fluid levels, including engine oil, hydraulic oil, and coolant. Inspect tires for wear and proper inflation. Ensure all lights and indicators are operational. Verify that the forks and attachments are secure.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the fuel level is adequate and that the fuel valve is open. Verify that the transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is engaged. Inspect the starter fuse and replace if necessary.
Hydraulic fluid should be changed approximately every 1,000 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific maintenance intervals.
The recommended engine oil for a Lull 844 Forklift is typically a high-quality SAE 15W-40 meeting API service classifications. Consult the operator's manual for specific brand recommendations.
To adjust the forks, first ensure the forklift is on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Use the hydraulic controls to lower the forks to the ground. Manually adjust the fork width by sliding them along the carriage to the desired position, then secure them in place.
Common causes include low hydraulic fluid levels, contaminated fluid, worn or damaged seals, and malfunctioning hydraulic pumps. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent these issues.
When operating on uneven terrain, keep the load low to the ground and drive slowly to maintain stability. Avoid sudden movements and use caution when turning. Ensure the load is secure and evenly distributed.
Immediately stop the engine and allow it to cool. Check the coolant level and inspect for leaks in the radiator or hoses. Ensure the radiator fan is operational. Consult a technician if overheating persists after basic checks.
Maintain proper tire pressure, perform regular engine maintenance, and avoid excessive idling. Operate the forklift at optimal speeds and avoid unnecessary heavy loads to improve fuel efficiency.
