Taking the truck out of operation

If the truck is taken out of operation for over 2 months, it must
be parked in a well ventilated, frost-free, clean and dry room
and the following measures must be carried out.
Measures before taking the truck out of
operation
- Thoroughly clean the truck.
- Fully elevate the fork carriage several times, tilt the mast
forward and back and, if fitted, operate the attachment
several times.
- Lower the forks on a support until the chains are slack.
- Check the hydraulic oil level and add oil, if needed.
- Apply a thin film of oil or grease on all unpainted mechanical
parts.
- Lubricate the truck.
- Check the condition and electrolyte level of the battery.
Coat the battery terminals with non-acidic grease. (Follow
the instructions of the battery manufacturer.)
- Spray all open electrical contacts with a suitable contact
spray.
ATTENTION
Block up the truck so that all wheels are clear of
the ground. This will prevent tyre deformation.
NOTE
Do not use a plastic foil to cover the truck as this
enhances the formation and collection of condensation
water.
NOTE
If the vehicle is to be taken out of operation for over 6
months, contact your authorised dealer for further meas-
ures.

Putting the truck back into operation

- Thoroughly clean the truck.
- Lubricate the truck.
- Coat the battery terminals with non-acidic grease.
- Check the condition and electrolyte level of the battery.
- Check the hydraulic oil for condensation water and change
the oil, if necessary.
- Perform the same services as for commissioning.
- Take the truck into operation.

General information

Your truck will remain operational only if the maintenance and
checks are carried out regularly and according to the informa-
tion and instructions in the operating manual. The maintenance
may only be performed by qualified authorised personnel.
This work can be carried out by your authorised distributor
under a service contract.
If you wish to do the work yourself, we recommend that the first
three customer service checks be carried out by your distrib-
utor's mechanic in the presence of the responsible mechanic
in your workshop, so that your staff can receive the appropriate
instruction.
For all servicing, the truck must be placed on a level surface
and the wheels secured.
Lower the fork carriage, tilt the mast slightly forward until the
forks rest on the ground. Apply the parking brake. Depress the
emergency stop button and remove the key switch.
When working on the truck with the fork carriage and/or mast
elevated, secure them against inadvertent lowering.
For work on the front end of the truck, secure the mast against
tilting back.
No changes, particularly no modifications and additions, may
be made to the truck without the approval of the manufacturer.

Maintenance

ATTENTION
Missing or damaged plates and/or adhesives
must be replaced. For location and oder no. refer
to Parts catalogue.
Perform a functional check and trial run after every servicing.
NOTE
When operating the truck under extreme conditions (i.e.
extreme heat or cold, intensive dust concentration, etc.),
the intervals given in the maintenance schedule should
be reduced accordingly.
ATTENTION
Follow the precautions for handling fluids and
lubricants.

Maintenance intervals

NOTE
Under certain conditions it is possible to change the
maintenance intervals as given in the maintenance chart.
The inspection and maintenance intervals depend on the
operating and service conditions of the truck.
For heavy duty conditions we recommend shorter
intervals.
Please contact your authorised dealer in this regard.
