2.3 Wheels
WARNING!
The use of wheels that do not comply with the manufacturer's specifications
can result in accidents
The quality of wheels affects the stability and driving characteristics of the truck.
Uneven wear affects the truck's stability and increases the stopping distance.
u
After replacing wheels, make sure the truck is not skewed.
u
Always replace wheels in pairs, i.e. the left- and right-hand wheels at the same
time.
Z
When replacing wheels fitted at the factory, only use the manufacturer’s original
spare parts. Otherwise the manufacturer's specification will not be adhered to.
Wheel flattening
If the truck has been parked for a long period, the wheel surfaces may tend to
flatten. This flattening has a negative effect on the safety and stability of the truck.
Once the truck has covered a certain distance, the flattening will disappear.
2.4 Attachment Repairs and Inspection
WARNING!
A faulty attachment can be hazardous
Check the attachment daily for external signs of damage or defects. Faulty
attachments can cause the load to fall.
u
Report any defects immediately to your supervisor.
u
Tag out and decommission a faulty lift truck.
u
Only return the truck to service when you have identified and rectified the fault.
