This sec
tion contains a Maintenance Schedule and
the inst
ructions for maintenance and inspection.
The Main
tenance Schedule is divided into three time
interv
als which call for particular maintenance pro-
cedure
s to be performed. The intervals are 1 Day
or 8 hou
rs, 3 Months or 500 Hours, and 1 Year or
2000 Ho
urs for normal operations (whichever comes
first)
. Normal operation is considered one 8-hour
shift per day,
in a relatively clean environment, on
an improved su
rface. Operating a lift truck for more
than eight hou
rs per day is considered Heavy opera-
tion and requi
res the 3-month checks to be performed
at 350 hours. L
ift trucks operating in freezer envi-
ronments or d
irty conditions are considered Severe
operation an
d require the 3-month checks to be per-
formed at 20
0 hours.
Your lift tr
uck dealer has the facilities and trained
personnel t
o perform required maintenances. A com-
plete progr
am of inspection, lubrication, and mainte-
nance will h
elp your lift truck perform efficiently and
operate ove
r a longer period of time.
Some users h
ave service personnel and facilities to
perform the
tasks listed in the Maintenance Sched-
ule. Servi
ce Manuals are available from your lift
truck deal
er to help users who do their own mainte-
nance.
DO NOT make
repairs or adjustments unless you
have been

rized to d
