Exhaust System; Frame; Fuel System; Propeller Shaft - Kalmar OTTAWA T2 2016 Manuel Du Conducteur

1 Introduction

Exhaust System

Maintain the exhaust system (mufflers, pipes, stacks, joints)
integrity to ensure no exhaust fumes can enter the cab. Look
for loose, damaged or missing exhaust components. Be alert
to any exhaust fumes or unusual odors in the cab.

Frame

Check for cracks and signs of damage. Pay close attention to
highly stressed areas of the frame such as the boom pivot
area. Contact your dealer for instructions on frame repair. Do
not weld on frame rails unless directed to do so by your Kalmar
dealer or by the factory.

Fuel System

The throttle should operate smoothly and with minimal effort.
Always replace damaged throttle components with factory
replacement parts.
Check the fuel system for leaks and hose chafing. Repair any
problems before operating the vehicle.
Check the DEF system for leaks and hose chafing. Repair any
problems before operating the vehicle.

Propeller Shaft

Check the universal joints for wear. If propeller shaft vibrations
occur, stop the vehicle immediately to prevent serious damage
to the vehicle drivetrain.

Steering

Be alert to any change or feel in steering while driving the
vehicle. This change or feel may include a change in steering
effort, unusual sounds when turning, or excessive wheel play
or pulling to either side.
If a problem is suspected or felt, check steering components
for loose, damaged or worn parts. All steering components
such as the tie rod and drag link must be tight.
Check the power steering system for leaks and hose chafing.
Repair any problems before operating the vehicle. Regularly
inspect all steering linkages.
Do not operate the vehicle with broken, damaged, worn or
non-OEM steering system components. If the Kalmar
Daily Inspection reveals any of these issues, have the
vehicle repaired immediately by a qualified technician.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
