Storage Information
Before Storage
Before storing your lift truck, clean and inspect as the
following procedures.
• Wipe away grease, oil, etc. adhering to the
body of the truck with waste cloth, and use
water, if needed.
• While cleaning the truck, check general
condition of the truck. Especially check the
truck body for dents or damage and tires for
wear or nails or stones in the tread.
• Fill the fuel tank with fuel specified.
• Check for leakage of hydraulic oil, engine oil,
fuel, or coolant, etc.
• Apply grease, where needed.
• Check for looseness of nuts and bolts,
especially hub nuts.
• Check mast rollers to see that they rotate
smoothly.
• Prime the oil into the lift cylinders by actuating
the lift lever all the way several times.
• Drain off coolant completely in cold weather, if
antifreeze is not used.
Long Time Storage
Perform the following service and checks in addition
to the “Parking the lift truck” services.
• Taking the rainy season into consideration,
park the machine at a higher and hard ground.
• Avoid parking on soft grounds such as an
asphalt ground in summer.
• Dismount the battery from the machine. Even
though the machine is parked indoors, if the
place is hot or humid, the battery should be
kept in a dry, cool place. Charge the battery
once a month.
• Apply antirust to the exposed parts which tend
to rust.
• Cover components such as the breather and
air cleaner which may be caught with humidity.
• The machine should be operated at least once
a week. Fill the cooling system, if cooling
water is discharged, and mount the battery.
Start the engine and warm up thoroughly.
Move the machine a little forwards and
backwards. Operate the hydraulic controls
several times.
To Operate the Lift Truck after a
Long Time Storage

components and exposed parts.

(clutch type machine), differential and final
reduction gear, clean the inside of them and
add new oil.
• Drain off foreign matter and water from the
hydraulic oil tank and fuel tank.
• Remove the head cover from the engine
cylinder. Oil valves and rocker shaft and check
each valve for proper operation.
• Add cooling water to the specified level.
• Charge the battery and mount it on the
machine. Connect the cables.
• Perform pre - operational checks carefully.
