It might be due to the forklift's battery being dead or malfunctioning. Here are the detailed explanations: Forklift battery has power: but fails to start, and the starter motor does not respond when turning the key. Check if the starter has any faults, poor contact in the wiring or battery connections, or insufficient power supply. Inspect whether the fuse is functioning properly and if the key switch is in good condition. If the above points are normal, measure and check if the battery voltage is above 12.5V. If the battery is aged, replace it with a new one. Having power and fuel: First, open the engine hood, pull out the central high-voltage wire of the distributor, place it 6-7 millimeters away from the cylinder block, turn on the ignition switch, and then crank the engine to observe the spark condition of the high-voltage wire. Then, remove all spark plugs to check for any damage. If it's a diesel vehicle, inspect whether the high-pressure fuel pump is injecting fuel normally and if the fuel injector's atomization is functioning properly.

Why Downshift When Overtaking?

Downshifting during overtaking is done to obtain greater torque and improve acceleration. Here is relevant information: 1. The moment you upshift, the engine speed immediately decreases, but the vehicle speed remains unchanged. At the same time, since the transmission ratio becomes smaller, the torque output from the engine to the wheels also decreases. After completing the upshift, you accelerate by pressing the throttle, but due to the reduced torque output, the vehicle accelerates more slowly. 2. The moment you downshift, the engine speed immediately increases, but the vehicle speed remains unchanged. Simultaneously, as the transmission ratio becomes larger, the torque output from the engine to the wheels also increases. After completing the downshift, you typically reduce speed by easing off the throttle (so-called deceleration downshifting).

What is the required torque for tightening cylinder head bolts in a car?

The torque required for tightening cylinder head bolts in a car depends on the size of the bearing cap: 1. Large bearing caps require 8 Nm of torque; 2. Small bearing caps require 6 Nm of torque. The method for tightening cylinder head bolts is: 1. Start from the middle and work outwards, tightening to 50% of the final torque initially, then loosening all bolts; 2. Again, tighten from the middle outwards to 50% of the final torque; 3. Finally, tighten the cylinder head bolts completely, following the sequence of middle first, then the sides. Preventive measures for cylinder head cracks include: 1. Evenly tighten cylinder head bolts and correctly adjust fuel injection timing; 2. Use soft water in the radiator and minimize water changes; 3. Avoid prolonged operation of the engine under overload conditions.

What is the method for bleeding the brake pump?

The following is the method for bleeding air from the brake pump: 1. Remove the dust cap from the bleeder valve on the wheel cylinder, prepare a transparent hose, connect one end to the bleeder valve and the other end to a plastic container. 2. One person should press the brake pedal several times inside the vehicle, then firmly hold the pedal down, while another person loosens the bleeder screw on the wheel cylinder outside the vehicle. At this point, air will be expelled along with the brake fluid. 3. Repeat the above steps until no air bubbles are visible in the expelled fluid, then top up the brake fluid and tighten the bleeder screw. The following are precautions for bleeding the brake pump: 1. The recommended wheel sequence for bleeding is usually right rear, left rear, right front, and left front. 2. The expelled brake fluid should not be reused as it may have absorbed moisture from prolonged exposure to air, which could affect braking performance.

What are the symptoms of transmission slippage?

The symptoms of transmission slippage are: 1. When starting, pressing the accelerator pedal causes the engine speed to rise quickly but the vehicle speed increases slowly; 2. During driving, pressing the accelerator pedal to accelerate results in increased engine speed but no significant improvement in vehicle speed; 3. Driving on flat roads is basically normal, but the vehicle lacks power when climbing hills, and the engine speed is very high. The causes of transmission slippage include: 1. Hydraulic oil level being too low or too high; 2. Wear or burning of clutch or brake friction plates and brake bands; 3. Oil pump wear or main oil circuit leakage leading to excessively low oil pressure; 4. Slippage of the one-way overrunning clutch; 5. Damage to the piston seal rings of the clutch or brake; 6. Damage to the piston seal rings of the shock absorber.
