5-3 SERVICING AND INSPECTION

Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important requirements for the
safe operation of your tugger. Failure to perform regular servicing can lead to tug-
ger failure and poses a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.
The service intervals stated are based on single shift operation under normal
operating conditions. They must be increased accordingly if the tugger is to be
used in conditions of extreme dust, temperature fluctuations or multiple shifts.
The following maintenance checklist states the tasks and intervals after which
they should be carried out. Maintenance intervals are defined as:
W = Every 50 service hours, at least weekly
A = Every 250 operating hours
B = Every 500 operating hours, or at least annually
W service intervals are to be performed by the customer.
In the run-in period - after approx. 100 service hours - or after repair work, the
owner must check the wheel nuts/bolts and re-tighten if necessary.
