If it has a diesel motor, it can be done safely. If it uses petrol/unleaded gasoline or LPG, then absolutely not. Static electricity can cause an explosion.
No. Lower the load to the floor, set the parking brake, turn off the engine.

To set the timing on a Yale forklift, first, ensure the forklift is on a level surface and the engine is off. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover. Use a timing light to illuminate the timing marks while the engine is running, and adjust the distributor or the timing adjustment screw as needed to align the marks correctly. Always refer to the specific service manual for your Yale forklift model for detailed instructions and specifications.
A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 V without engine running With engine running should read Approx. 13.8-14.2 Volts
Never!!!
With key on engine not running pressure should be 9 to 13 psi Engine at idle pressure should decrease by 3 to 10 psi on a throttle body. On a multi port injection key on engine not running pressure should be 41 to 47 psi. Engine running at idle pressure should decrease 3 to 10 psi. Central multiport fuel injection key on not running should be 58 to 64 psi. Engine running at idle pressure should decrease 3 to 10 psi. Central sequential electronic fuel injection key on not running pressure should be 55 to 61 psi. Engine running at idle pressure should decrease 3 to 10 psi.
If the engine is not running the pressure should be 35 to 40 psi. If the engine is running the pressure should be 30 to 45 psi.
No, you should not stand under a forklift, even if the engine is turned off. Forklifts can be unstable, and there is a risk that the load could shift or the forklift could move unexpectedly. Safety protocols recommend maintaining a safe distance from any heavy equipment to avoid accidents. Always follow safety guidelines when working near heavy machinery.
It depends on the model and serial # of your forklift. A YAM forklift is like asking for the specs on a Ford. Need all the info you can find on the lift and the engine.
Engine running at idle you should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts.

it is generally part of the alternator.
