Taking proper care of your lift truck is a vital
part of the overall planned maintenance pro-
gram.
Your participation in this program will provide
an early warning to help identify potential
maintenance problems.
Do-it-yourself maintenance does not include
repairs. If your truck requires any repairs, con-
sult your Cat lift truck dealer. The dealer’s lift
truck mechanics are well trained and know how
to safely make repairs. Service Manuals are
also available from your Cat lift truck dealer.
Follow these rules to help save you from injury
and to service your truck properly.
