Before Storage
Before storing your lift truck, clean and inspect as
the following procedures.
Wipe away grease, oil, etc. adhering to the body
of the truck with waste cloth, and use water, if
needed.
While cleaning the truck, check general condition
of the truck. Especially check the truck body for
dents or damage and tires for wear or nails or
stones in the tread.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel specified.
Check for leakage of hydraulic oil, engine oil, fuel,
or coolant, etc.
Apply grease, where needed.
Check for looseness of nuts and bolts, especially
hub nuts.
Check mast rollers to see that they rotate
smoothly.
Prime the oil into the lift cylinders by actuating the
lift lever all the way several times.
Drain off coolant completely in cold weather, if
antifreeze is not used.
Long Time Storage

addition to the "Parking the lift truck" services.
Taking the rainy season into consideration, park
the machine at a higher and hard ground.
Avoid parking on soft grounds such as an asphalt
ground in summer.
Dismount the battery from the machine. Even
though the machine is parked indoors, if the
place is hot or humid, the battery should be kept

rust.
Cover components such as the breather and air
cleaner which may be caught with humidity.
The machine should be operated at least once a
week. Fill the cooling system, if cooling water is
discharged, and mount the battery. Start the
engine and warm up thoroughly. Move the
machine a little forwards and backwards.
Operate the hydraulic controls several times.
