5.4 Decommissioning the truck
If the truck is to be decommissioned for more than two months , e.g. for operational
reasons,it must be parked in a frost-free and dry location and all necessary measures
must be taken before, during and after decommissioning as described.
On decommissioning the truck must be jacked up so that all the wheels are clear of
the ground. This is the only way of ensuring that the wheels and wheel bearings are
not damaged.
If the truck is to be out of service for more than 6 months , further measures must be
taken in consultation with the manufacturer’s service department.
5.4.1Prior to decommissioning
• Thoroughly clean the truck.
• Check the brakes.
• Check the hydraulic oil level and
replenish as necessary (See 5.3.3
Maintenance Instructions ).
• Apply a thin layer of oil or grease to any
non-painted mechanical components.
• Lubricate the truck in accordance with
the maintenance schedule (See 5.3.2
Lubrication Schedule ).
• Charge the battery (See 4.4Charging
the battery ).
• Disconnect the battery, clean it and apply grease to the terminals.
In addition, follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
• Spay all exposed electrical contacts with a suitable contact spray.
5.4.2 Restoring the truck to operation after decommissioning
• Thoroughly clean the truck.
• Lubricate the truck in accordance with the maintenance schedule (See 5.3.2
Lubrication Schedule ).
• Clean the battery, grease the terminals and connect the battery.
• Charge the battery (See 4.4 Charging the battery ).
• Check hydraulic oil for condensed water and replace if necessary.
• Run the truck (see 3.3 Run the truck).
Battery powered trucks:
If there are switching problems in the electrical system, apply contact spray to the
exposed contacts and remove any oxide layers on the contacts of the operating
controls by applying them repeatedly.
Perform several brake tests immediately after re-commissioning the truck.
Warning！
Charge every months:
– Charge the battery.
Battery powered trucks:
The battery must be charged at regular
intervals to avoid depletion of the battery
through self-discharge. The sulfation
would destroy the battery.
