    DECOMMISSIONING AND RESTORING If you do not plan to use the BYD electric forklift for more than three months, follow the instructions in this chapter to decommission and restore the forklift to service. Even when the forklift is taken out of service for a long time, several tasks need to be carried out on a monthly basis, such as lifting and lowering the forks, tilting the mast and others.

    Do not cover the forklift with a plastic cover, which will cause water vapor to condense and to accumulate. Ask your BYD dealer for advice if the forklift needs to be decommissioned for more than 6 months. https://www.forkliftpdfmanuals.com/...
