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.
Drain off DEF/Ad-Blue completely for long term
storage. (If not the purity of DEF/Ad-Blue would be
changed to lower quality.)
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 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
Remove covers and antirust from each of the
components and exposed parts.
Drain the engine crankcase, transmission (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. (refer to
“Before Starting the Engine”)
Warm up the machine.
If deteriorated DEF/Ad-Blue warning lamp turns on
and message appears, drain the fluid in the DEF/Ad-
Blue tank thoroughly and refill with new DEF/Ad-Blue.
Check level of DEF/Ad-Blue and if necessary refill
DEF/Ad-Blue (refer page.72)
