point. When the forklift is lifted, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent
the forklift from slipping or tipping over (wedges, blocks can be used).
Cleaning Operation: Flammable liquid can not be used for cleaning the
forklift. Before cleaning, take safety precautions to prevent electric sparks (e.g.
sparks caused by short circuit). When operating the accumulator, connectors on
it must be disconnected. Use soft air suction or compressed air, non-conductive
and anti-static brushes to clean electric and electronic components.
If the forklift is cleaned with a water spray or a high-pressure cleaner, all
electrical and electronic components must be carefully pre-covered, because the
humidity can cause malfunctions. Do not use steam nozzles for cleaning.
Operation of Electric System: Operation on the electric system should only
be performed by specially trained personnel. Before performing any operation
on the electric system, precautions must be made to prevent electric shock.
When operating the accumulator, connectors on it must be disconnected.
Welding operations: To prevent damage to electrical or electronic
components, these electrical components must be removed from the vehicle
before any welding operations are taken.
Installation: When repairing or replacing hydraulic components, electric
and electronic components, make sure to install them back to their original
positions.
Wheels: Quality of the wheels has significant effect on stability and driving
performance of the forklift. Modification on wheels can be performed only with
the approval from the manufacturer. When replacing wheels, ensure that the
forklift is leveled as delivery state(wheels must be replaced in pairs, i.e. replace
right wheel together with left one).
Lifting chain and rollers: Chain and rollers will be worn quickly without
good lubrication. Perform periodic lubrication according to following
maintenance table. Shorten the lubrication period under adverse operation
conditions (such as in dusty and hot environment).
Hydraulic oil pipe: The oil pipe must be changed every 6 years. When
change the hydraulic assembled parts, the oil pipe should be also changed.
