INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
•
Only persons authorized by the owner or operator of the equipment and having proper certification (local
or national) may carry out inspection, maintenance and repairs of the lift truck.
•
If inspection, maintenance or repair work is carried out incorrectly, it is very dangerous.
•
When carrying out inspection and maintenance, use a level, dry, dust-free area.
•
If the work is carried out inside a building, make sure that there is ample ventilation.
•
To be prepared in the event of a fire, have a fire extinguisher nearby and make sure that you know how to
use it.
•
Before carrying out inspection, lower the forks to the ground and stop the machine.
•
Before carrying out the check before starting, turn the key in the starting switch to the OFF position and
stop the lift truck.
•
Turn the starting switch OFF if the truck is not being used.
•
Set the MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS plate in a place in the operator's compartment or near the
control panel where it is easy to see.
•
Set the FORWARD/REVERSE lever and work equipment lever to the neutral position.
•
Pull the parking brake lever and put blocks in front of and behind the tires.
•
Immediately after using the lift truck, the oil is at high temperature. Do
not drain the oil or replace the filter when the oil is hot. Hot oil may spurt
out and cause burns.
•
When carrying out inspection and maintenance, wait for the oil
temperature to go down, and carry out the operation in the order given
in this manual.
•
Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always under
pressure. Do not add oil, drain oil or carry out maintenance or
inspection before completely releasing the internal pressure.
•
If oil is leaking under high pressure from holes, it is dangerous if the jet
of high-pressure oil hits your skin or eyes. Always wear safety glasses
and thick gloves, and use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of plywood to
check for oil leakage.
•
Release the internal pressure before checking the accumulator piping.
•
If you are hit by a jet of high-pressure oil, consult a doctor immediately.
