    Think they design engines for multi application purpose, so they just put the sump plug into the lowest part of the sump with that in mind

    You can drain the oil from the front extend the mast and you’ll see it. God Bless

    The inner slide lube you said to put on the mast and the carriage rails… I’m curious, is that special lube or just grease? I have made quite some money on replacing rollers on forklifts because Lube Techs insist on greasing where they are supposed to roll. The grease makes them slide and puts flat spots on them. Turns the rollers into stop signs. Was wondering if they made a special lube for me to replace even more rollers now.

      7005 INNER SLIDE LUBE
      Penray Inner slide Lube is specifically designed for use on forklift inner slide rails. I would highly recommend it. It’s not thick or super greasy like regular grease. It’s more similar to white lithium grease but with Moly. I never had any issues with rollers.

      @@theforkliftguy I looked this product up. It’s really amazing to me they made a special product for this. In my mind, it’s still a useless product. Whether a duplex, triplex, or quadplex, the metal on the mast rails never contact each other. Only the rollers contact the rails. This inner slide lube will not make the rollers roll better. The grease and bearings in the roller will, especially in the case of this Moffett with rollers that are able to be greased. For the other 98% of lifts with sealed rollers, it can be worse, causing flat spots. In two decades, I’ve had enough forklift masts apart of many different brands to see this.

      Depends on how much grease you put on. I usually just apply a thin layer with a pray grease and it works wonders for almost every senario. If you put too much grease then yes, the rollers turn into stop signs😂 grease also helps with preventing rust in the masts🤠

      It’s actually not an undershirt, I use compression sleeves. I buy them on Amazon. They are called Armoray sun protection sleeves. They are the shit. Highly recommend. Keeps my arms clean as well

    The oil capacity is on the green and white sticker on the rear frame by the engine.

      Not needed. Machine only has 180 hours. I don’t go by what a sticker says, always measure and check every time to be safe, even after running the engine for a couple minutes. 👍🏼 I appreciate the comment.

    Do you usually work outside? Not seen many,if any, videos form inside warehouses and stores and stuff. Might be difficult to be allowed to film mabye. Thinking of moving over to using milwaukee packout to make transporting tools easier and save me from walking back to the truck like 17 times per job😂

    • @theforkliftguy
      @theforkliftguy  Před 3 měsíci

      It depends. Sometimes I work outside, sometimes I work indoors. It all depends on weather and situation. I don’t mind working outside as long as there’s shade or it’s not raining. Milwaukee pack out is the shit
