Introduction; General - Yale 524150797 Maintenance Manual

8000 YRM 1666

GENERAL

This section contains the instructions for periodic
maintenance and inspection and a Maintenance
Schedule.
The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for
inspection, lubrication, and periodic maintenance. The
time intervals are based on normal operation. Normal
operation is considered to be one 8-hour shift per day
in a relatively clean environment on an improved
surface. Multiple shifts, dirty operating conditions, etc.,
will require a reduction in the recommended time
periods in the Maintenance Schedule.
WARNING
DO NOT make repairs or adjustments unless you
have been properly trained and authorized to do
so. Improper repairs and adjustments can create
dangerous operating conditions.
DO NOT operate a truck that needs repairs. If
repair is necessary, attach a DO NOT OPERATE
tag to the control handle. Report the need for
repairs to your supervisor immediately.

Introduction

Some users have service personnel and facilities to
perform the procedures listed in the Maintenance
Schedule. Service Manuals are available from your
Yale® lift truck dealer to help users who do their own
repairs.
Your Yale® lift truck dealer has the trained personnel
and equipment to conduct a complete program of
inspection, lubrication, and maintenance. This program
will help maximize your truck's performance and
reliability.
NOTE: The front end of the truck is the control handle
end. Forward travel refers to movement in the direction
of the control handle with the load wheels trailing.
Reverse is travel in the direction of the forks with the
drive tire trailing. Left and right refer to the operator's
left- and right-hand sides when standing on the truck,
driving in the forward direction. See Figure 1.
