Section 6. Planned Maintenance
6.11
Visual Inspection
A planned maintenance (PM) program of regular, routine inspections
and lubrication is important for long life and trouble-free operation of
your lift truck. Make and keep records of your inspections. Use these
records to help establish the correct PM intervals for your application
and to indicate maintenance required to prevent major problems from
occurring during operation.
As an aid in performing and documenting your PM inspections, CLARK
prepared an Electric Truck Planned Maintenance Report Form (PM
Report Form). Copies of this form may be obtained from your authorized
CLARK dealer. We recommend that you use this form as a checklist
and a record of your inspection and truck condition.
The maintenance procedures outlined in this section are intended to
be used in conjunction with the PM Report Form. They are arranged in
groupings of maintenance work that are done in a logical and effi cient
sequence.
You make check marks or entries on the PM Report Form when you
perform the PM. Please notice on the form a special coding system
for indicating the importance of needed repairs and/or adjustments
appears on the form.
When you have fi nished the PM inspections, be sure to give a copy
of the report to the designated authority responsible for lift truck main-
tenance.
Do not make repairs or adjustments unless authorized to do so.
CAUTION
For safety, it is good practice to:
• Remove all jewelry (watch, rings, bracelets, etc.) before
working on the truck.
• Disconnect the battery before working on truck.
• Always wear safety glasses. Wear a safety (hard) hat
in industrial plants and in special work areas where
protection is necessary and required.
