6.4 Recommissioning the truck
Recommissioning the truck following cleaning or maintenance work is permitted only
after the following operations have been performed:
- Check the brake for correct functioning.
- Check the horn for correct functioning.
7 Decommissioning the truck
If the truck is to be decommissioned for more than six months (e.g. due to
organisational reasons), it must be parked in a frost-free and dry location and all
measures to be taken before, during and following decommissioning must be
performed as detailed below.
m
During decommissioning, the truck must be jacked up in such a manner that the
wheels are clear off the ground. Only this measure will ensure that wheels and wheel
bearings do not suffer damage.
- Recharge the battery (see chapter D, section 3).
- Disconnect and clean the battery. Apply pole grease to the pole screws.
A
In addition, all instructions given by the manufacturer of the battery must be heeded.
- Spray all exposed electrical contacts with a suitable contact spray.
7.1 Measures required during decommissioning
Every 6 months:
- Recharge the battery (see chapter D, section 3).
m
Regular recharging of the battery is very important as self-discharging would cause
excessive depletion of the battery, which would result in the destruction of the battery.
A
If the battery is permanently connected to the charger with trickle charging, the
battery need not be recharged every 6 months to protect it against excessive
depletion.
