Maintenance and Care
Greasing
• Grease your truck carefully in accordance with the greasing
and lubrication schedule.
• Clean the grease nipples before greasing, and after lubri-
cating. Remove any excess grease which has come out at
the greasing points.
Checking the brake fluid level
• If the brake fluid level is too
low, the brake system must
be examined by an expert.
• Brake fluid absorbs moisture
from the air (hygroscopic)
and must therefore be
changed every year.
Brakes
• In more demanding operating conditions, the brake linings
may become worn more quickly. It may therefore be neces-
sary to check the brake system between the intervals pre-
scribed in the service schedule.
• New brake linings must get “worn in” and therefore do not
have the optimum frictional force initially. The slightly dimin-
ished braking effect which results when the brakes are first
applied can be overcome by applying the brake pedal
harder.
