Introduction
Kalmar empty container handlers DCE70-90E with lifting capaci-
ties of 7-9 tonnes are part of the Kalmar range, which includes
forklift trucks rated between 2 and 90 tonnes. This series of trucks
is based on a system of modules, and provides flexibility in the
selection of engine and gearbox.
The visibility is very good, due to the large windows and the clear
field of vision through the mast and the carriage. All trucks in the
series have a high built cab.
The Instruction Manual applies to all models unless otherwise
stated.
Since the trucks are delivered with different equipment, minor
deviations from the Instruction Manual may occur.

Brake pedals and release clutch activator (8 and 9)
The brake pedals are hydraulically-actuated and connected to
the hydraulic system of the truck via accumulators which ensure
that there will always be sufficient pressure for braking, even in

lator pressure falls below a certain level, lamp 45 on the panel will

OPERATION Engine heater, running-in, start, warming-up
Engine heater
The truck can be equipped with an engine heater to facilitate
starting at temperatures below 0°C.
The engine heater consists of a heater cartridge fitted into the en-
gine block and is designed to heat the engine coolant.
The engine heater must be connected to a 220 V a.c. earthed
outlet.
Running-in
A new engine should always be treated with care during a certain
running-in period. During this period, the surfaces of the bores,
gears and bearings will become hard and polished, and this will
ensure a long useful life of the engine.
Avoid running the engine at full load during the first 50 hours. The
load can then be gradually increased.
Try to extend the running-in period to 200 hours. This will pay in
the long run – the stoppages and breakdowns will be fewer.

IMPORTANT!

this may cause an explosion.

Warming-up
Never race a cold engine. Run the engine at 1400–1500 r/min un-
til it starts to warm up. It is essential that the engine oil be warm
and that it is circulating correctly before the turbocharger starts
running at high speeds. Nor should the engine be run at critically
low speeds. Start using the truck only when the engine has
reached normal working temperature, i.e. when the temperature
gauge on the instrument panel reads about 80°C.

When starting the truck and from time to time when using it, make
a habit of checking:

IMPORTANT!
Never turn the main switch to OFF when the engine is

Fire protection
If the machine is equipped with fire extinguishers these should be
of the ABE type, in accordance with EN 3 parts 1, 2, 4 and 5. With
such a fire extinguisher it is possible to extinguish a fire in both
fixed organic materials and liquids. Furthermore, the medium
used to extinguish fire does not conduct electricity.
A3638501L
Suitable fire extinguishers can be ordered from Kalmar.

the correct position, see illustration.
N.B. If the tyre has been completely deflated, the wheel

SUPERVISION Fuel system, Cooling system
Fuel system
Always refuel with ordinary diesel oil.
Never use any additives for the diesel oil.
In the winter, it is advisable to refuel the truck immediately after
the day’s work has been completed, ie, to avoid moisture con-
densing inside the fuel tank.
Never add water-absorbing agents, such as alcohol, to the fuel.
Tank capacity, see Technical Data.
The filling pipe is on the left-hand side of the truck.
Before refuelling, make sure that the area around the filler cap is
clean.

Cooling system
The coolant is topped up via the radiator filling cap accessible
through an aperture in the engine cover.
WARNING!
Do not open the cap when the engine is hot, since steam
or hot water may spray out.
Fill with water containing at least 40% glycol. If glycol is not used,
a corrosion inhibitor must always be added to the coolant. But the
corrosion inhibitor is not an anti-freeze agent, and should there-
fore be used only if the ambient temperature is constantly above
0°C.
If the coolant level should drop below the minimum level, warning
lamp 46 on the instrument panel will light up.

IMPORTANT!
Insufficient coolant may impair the coolant circulation
which may cause the coolant to boil and give rise to
engine damage.

and the oil level should be between these. Clean the dipstick be-

It is advisable to top up with oil when the engine is warm and the
oil flows easily. Top up – wait a while – check on the dipstick.

period of time.
An indicator, which turns red when the filter has become clogged,
is located in the air intake system between the air cleaner and the
engine.
Check the indicator regularly and get in touch with the service
personnel as soon as the indicator has turned red.
