Checking the reversible fork arms

DANGER
Risk of explosion!
If reversible fork arms are used that
do not correspond to the explosion-
protection regulations, this can
lead to spark formation, resulting
in explosions in the surrounding
atmosphere.
– Only use reversible fork arms that
are approved for use in potentially
explosive areas according to the
nameplate of the truck.
– If the cladding is worn, do not
operate the truck in potentially
explosive areas.
– Check the outside of the fork bend (1) for
cracks.
– Check the cladding of the fork arms for
wear; see the section entitled "Checking the
fork arms".
– If the fork bends or the cladding show signs
of damage, notify the authorised service
centre.

Servicing the steering axle

Lubricate the steering axle
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
Dispose of old grease and contaminated
devices in accordance with the national
regulations for the country in which the truck is
being used.
The steering arms of the steering axle each

in accordance with the "maintenance data

If, after a few strokes, there is no longer any
