Periodic Inspection; Periodical Replacement Of Safety Parts; Periodical Replacement Of; Safety Parts - UniCarriers FG20 Series Operation & Maintenance Manual

Just as your body needs to undergo physical
examinations, your truck needs periodical checks
and maintenance.
When the truck appears to be in good condition,
checks and maintenance are likely to be neglected.
But early discovery of trouble which may decrease
truck efficiency and immediate correction, will
greatly increase the working capacity of the truck,
bring about greater productivity, prolong its life span
and make it more economical.
Preoperational checks, the addition of oil, grease
and fuel, and cleaning of filter elements should be
carried out by the customer and other complicated
checks and maintenance should be left to your
UniCarriers dealer. If enough knowledge, special
tools or equipment is not available, personal
injury could occur during checking or servicing. In
this manual, the periodic inspection intervals are
indicated as the number of months (years) as well
as operating hours. Every one month of operation is
calculated as 200 operating hours.
CAUTION
Be sure to read "INSPECTION AND SERVICE"
in Chapter 1. "SAFETY" before checking or
servicing the truck.

PERIODIC INSPECTION

PERIODICAL REPLACEMENT OF

SAFETY PARTS

In order to perform safe operation, the importance
of preventive maintenance of the truck cannot be
overemphasized. Especially, the parts listed in the
table below must be replaced periodically since
they are the most important parts for safety of the
truck and operator.
Moreover these safety parts are liable to be
damaged and deteriorated in the course of time, and
it is difficult to determine by ordinary maintenance
whether they are beyond their respective service
limits or not. The safety parts must be replaced
with new ones when their respective service limits
have been reached, even if their appearances are
good.
NOTE
The safety parts are, however, not the objects of
warranty claim.
