5 Description of servicing operations

5.2 Prepare the truck for the performance of servicing and maintenance operations

All required safety measures must be taken to prevent any accidents in the course of

the servicing and maintenance operations. The following preparatory operations

must be performed:

– Park the truck and render it safe (refer to chapter E).

– Disconnect the battery plug to prevent accidental starting of the truck.

– When work has to be performed under the jacked-up truck, suitable measures must

be taken to prevent any dropping, tilting or slipping of the truck.

When lifting the truck, the instructions contained in chapter “Transportation and Com-

missioning” have to be observed (refer to chapter C).

5.3 Securing the driver platform

The driver platform can be secured in

elevated position.

– Lift the driver platform until the inner

mast (1) is positioned above the carri-

er of the load lifting safety device.

– Screw out the fastening screw (4) and

dismount the safety bolt (3) from the

carrier (2) at the hoisting frame (5).

– Position the safety bolt to the vertical

hole of the carrier and screw on.

– Lower the driver platform very slowly

until the inner mast rests on the safety

bolt.

5.4 Cleaning the hoisting chains

It is very important to keep all hoisting

chains and swivels are kept clean and

well greased. Hoisting chains are safety

elements.

The chains must not show any consi-

derable dirt accumulations. Cleaning is

only allowed with paraffin derivatives,

e.g. kerosene or Diesel oils.

Never clean chains with high-pressure

steam cleaners, cold cleaners, or chemi-

cal cleaning solutions.
