Cleaning the Forklift

Cleaning the Forklift
Cleaning depends on the type of use and the
workplace. Should the truck come into contact
with highly aggressive elements such as salt
water, fertilizers, chemical products, cement,
etc., it should be cleaned as carefully as pos-
sible after every work cycle. It is preferable to
use cold compressed air and detergents. Use
water-dampened rags to clean the parts of the
body.

Decommissioning and storing

If the truck is to be decommissioned for more
than 2 months, it must be parked in a frost-
free and dry location.
When storing the truck, it must be jacked up
so that all the wheels are clear of the ground.
This is the only way of ensuring that the
wheels and wheel bearings are not damaged.
If the storage period is longer than six months,
the user must contact the company's service
department to clarify other operational meas-
ures that need to be taken.
Precautions prior to storage
Clean the truck thoroughly.
●
Check the brakes.
●
Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if
●
required.
Apply a thin layer of lubricating oil or grease
●
to all unpainted mechanical components.
Lubricate according to the truck's mainte-
●
nance schematic diagram.
Recharge the battery periodically.
●
Clean the battery and apply specialised
●
grease to the electrode bolts.
Spray all exposed contacts with a suitable
●
contact spray.
CAUTION
Charge the battery every month.
If the truck is driven by the battery, then the battery
must be charged every month to avoid depletion of
the battery through self-discharge, otherwise sulpha-
tion will destroy the battery.

CAUTION
Do not clean the truck with direct jets of water; DO
NOT use solvents and petrols that could damage
parts of the truck.
Recommissioning after storage
Clean the truck thoroughly.
●
Lubricate according to the truck's mainte-
●
nance schematic diagram.
Clean the battery, apply specialised grease
●
to the electrode studs, and install and fix the
terminals on the battery.
Recharge the battery.
●
Check whether the hydraulic oil contains
●
condensed water. Change the hydraulic oil
if necessary.
Check the alarm, emergency off switch and
●
brake performance.
Put the truck into service in accordance with
●
the operational manual's instructions.
NOTE
If there are difficulties with operating electrical
system switches, you should apply contact
spray to the exposed contact surfaces and re-
move the oxide layers on the surfaces of the
operating component contacts by performing
repeated switch operations. After putting the
truck into service, the driver should immedi-
ately carry out repeated brake performance
tests.
