Planned Maintenance Intervals
Typical Operating Conditions
Time intervals between maintenances
are
largely determined
by op-
erating conditions.
For
example, operation
in
sandy, dusty locations
requires
shorter maintenance intervals than operation
in
clean ware-
houses.
The
indicated intervals
are
intended
for
normal operation.
The
following operating conditions
are
defined:
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.
