Shutdown of forklift truck
Measures prior to shutdown
If the vehicle is shut down for more than
2 months e.g. for operational reasons, it
should only be left in a well ventilated, clean
and dry room free of frost, and the following
measures undertaken beforehand.
¾ Clean forklift truck thorough
ly.
¾ Raise fork carriage several times to the
end stop, move lift mast backwards and
forwards a few times and operate any
attachments several times.
¾ Lower the fork carriage to a supporting
surface until the chains are relieved of load.
¾ Check the hydraulic oil level a
nd top up if
necessary.
¾ All unpainted mechanical components
should be coated with a thin film of oil or
grease.
¾ Grease vehicle.
¾ Check battery condition and den
sity of acid.
¾ Lubricate battery terminals with acid-free
grease. (Follow instructions of battery
manufacturer .)
¾ Apply a suitable contact spray to all exposed
electrical contacts .
¾ Jack up the vehicle so all wheels are off the
ground.
This will prevent permanent deformation of the
tyres.
NOTE
Do not cover with plastic foil
or this will encour-
age the formation and collect
ion of condensed
water.
NOTE
If the vehicle is to be shut down for more than
6 months, further measures should be agreed
with your authorised dealer.
