Electrical System: Only suitably trained personnel may operate on the truck’s
electrical system. Before working on the electrical system, take all precautionary
measures to avoid electric shocks. For battery-operated trucks, also de-energise the
truck by removing the battery connector.
Welding
: To avoid damaging electric or electronic components, remove these from
the truck before performing welding operations.
Settings
: When repairing or replacing hydraulic, electric or electronic components or
assemblies, always note the truck-specific settings.
Wheels
: The quality of wheels affects the stability and performance of the truck.
When replacing factory fitted wheels only used original manufacturer’s spare parts, as
otherwise the data plate specifications will not be kept.
When changing wheels and wheels, ensure that the truck does not slew (e.g. when
replacing wheels always left and right simultaneously).
Lift chains
: Lift chains wear rapidly if not lubricated. The intervals stated in the
service checklist apply to normal duty use. More demanding conditions (dust,
temperature) require more regular lubrication. The prescribed chain spray must be
used in accordance with the instructions. Applying grease externally willnotprovide
sufficient lubrication.
Hydraulic hoses
: The hoses must be replaced every six years. When replacing
hydraulic components, also replace the hoses in the hydraulic system.
Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important requirements forthesafe
operation of the industrial truck. Failure to perform regular servicing can lead to truck
failure and poses a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.
The service intervals stated are based on single shift operation under normal
operating conditions. They must be reduced accordingly if the truck is to beusedin
conditions of extreme dust, temperature fluctuations or multiple shifts.
The following maintenance checklist states the tasks and intervals after which they
should be carried out. Maintenance intervals are defined as:
D = Every 8 service hours, or per day
W.= Every 40 service hours, at least weekly
M.= Every 166 service hours, or monthly
T.= Every 500 operating hours, or 3 months
S.= Every 1000 operating hours, or 6 months
W service intervals are to be performed by the customer.
In the run-in period - after approx. 100 service hours - or after repair work, the owner
must check the wheel nuts/bolts and re-tighten if necessary.
