Welding; Washing The Lift Truck; Transporting The Lift Truck - Manitou TMM 20 S1-E3 Operator's Manual

WELDING

- Disconnect the battery before any welding operations on the lift truck.
- If the lift truck is equipped with electronic control units, disconnect them before welding, or risk causing irreparable
damage to the electronic components.
- When carrying out electric welding work on the lift truck, connect the negative cable from the equipment directly to the
part being welded, so as to avoid an intense current passing through the alternator.
- Never carry out welding or work which gives off heat on a tire assembly. The heat would increase the pressure which
could cause the tire to explode.

WASHING THE LIFT TRUCK

- Clean the lift truck or at least the area concerned before any intervention.
- Close and lock all means of access to the lift truck (doors, windows, covers, etc.).
- Avoid washing hinges, electrical components and connections.
- Protect the components (alternator, starter, electrical connections, injection pumps, etc.) liable to be damaged by the
ingress of water, steam or cleaning agents.
- Clean all traces of fuel, oil or grease from the lift truck.

TRANSPORTING THE LIFT TRUCK

- Towing, slinging or transporting the lift truck (see 3 - MAINTENANCE: H - OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE).
