Normal Operation: Basically, eight-hour material handling, mostly in
buildings or in clean, open air on clean paved surfaces.
Severe Operation: Prolonged operating hours or constant usage.
Extreme Operation:
• In sandy or dusty locations, such as: cement plants, lumber mills,
and coal dust or stone crushing sites
• High-temperature locations, such as: steel mills, foundries, etc.
• Sudden temperature changes, such as: constant trips from build-
ings into the open air, refrigeration plants, etc..
If your fork lift truck is used in severe or extreme operating conditions,
you must shorten the maintenance intervals accordingly.
NOTICE
Since the operating environment of lift trucks varies widely,
the above descriptions are highly generalized and should
be applied as actual conditions dictate.
