11. Maintaining the buckets and pallet fork
11.1 Daily maintenance
The operator of the machine or someone with an equivalent level of training
may carry out daily maintenance.
1 Lubricate the hinge points.
For more information, see Lubricating the hinge points on page 68.
2 Check whether a recognized maintenance engineer has carried out the other
periodic maintenance.
3 Check the attachment for visible damage and for leaks of hydraulic oil while
the machine is switched off.
4 Start the machine and check whether the hydraulic functions of the
attachment are working correctly.
11.2 Maintenance and repair
A specialist must carry out maintenance and repair work.
Attachments may not be modified without the written consent of the
manufacturer.
If in doubt, consult the manufacturer.
1 Check hydraulic couplings, hoses, lines, and connections regularly for leaks,
wear, and aging.
2 Replace damaged lines, hoses, lamps, or pressure gages promptly.
New hoses must satisfy the generally applicable requirements for medium
pressure.
3 Inspect the attachment every 250 operating hours for wear, deformation,
and crack formation. The attachment must also be inspected in full for wear,
deformation, and crack formation in the event of unforeseen events which
may have caused the attachment to be damaged.
