Cleaning the industrial truck
The frequency with which cleaning is required
depends on the application of the industrial
truck. If highly abrasive materials, e.g. salt
water, fertiliser, chemicals or cement are
used, the industrial truck must be thoroughly
cleaned after each assignment.
Deposits and accumulations of combustible
materials on or in the vicinity of hot parts must
be removed immediately.
Before performing service
work, clean the oil
filler openings and their s
urroundings, as well
as the lubricating nipple
s.
When cleaning, note the f
ollowing:
• Wear protective equipment
• Never wash the industrial truck when it is
switched on.
• When using high-pressur
e cleaners, main-
tain a minimum distance
of 300 mm be-
tween the spray pipe and
the industrial truck
• Cleaning materials that contain strong
solvents can permanently damage painted
and plastic surfaces
• Hot steam or cleaning materials with a
powerful degreasing effect must be used
with extreme caution, because these will
affect the grease filling of bearings with
lifetime lubrication, causing them to leak.
Relubrication is not possible. The bearing
will be damaged.
When cleaning with compressed air, remove
stubborn contamination with a cold cleaning
solvent.
CAUTION
Damage to or destruction of industrial truck compo-
nents!
Water must not be used for cleaning in the area
of the central electrical system or switch console.
Only use a dry cloth or clean compressed air for
cleaning in this area.
The following areas must also not be subjec-
ted to a direct water jet when cleaning (e.g.
using high-pressure cleaning equipment or
steam cleaners):
• Electrical and electronic components,
• The front axle,
• Plug connectors,
• Plastic pipes for the air duct,
• Hydraulic hoses and coolant hoses
• Hose clips
• Insulating material
NOTE
If cleaning using
a water jet cannot be avoi-
ded, the affecte
d areas must be covered befo-
rehand.
