2- Introduction Maintenance – P1
All points in the service program should be carried out to attain the high-
est safety and the least possible downtime. The service intervals are 
only a guide and do not need to be followed to the letter. The operator 
may adapt them to local conditions, but it is important that the intervals 
comply with BT’s minimum requirements.
The service intervals are based on the running times and can be adapt-
ed to most normal 8 hour shifts. The service interval may be shortened 
if the truck is used more frequently or in more demanding situations, e.g 
cold store, dusty or corrosive situations. The following running times 
have been used when calculating the intervals:
- Day time: 08.00-17.00 (20 hr./week)
- 2-shifts: 06.00-14.00, 14.00-22.00 (40 hr./week)
- 3-shifts: 06.00-14.00, 14.00-22.00,22.00-06.00 
(60 hr./week)
Ensure the truck is given a regular maintenance service after every 500 
driving hours. The truck’s safety, efficiency and service life is depend
-
ent on the service and maintenance it is given.
Only use BT approved spare parts when service and repair work are 
carried out.
