Shutting down the truck
Measures before shutdown
If the truck is to be shut down for more than
two months, e.g. for operational reasons,
it must only be stored in a well ventilated,
clean and dry room that is frost-protected. The
following measures must be implemented.
¾ Clean forklift truck thoro
ughly.
¾ Raise fork carriage to the end stop repeat-
edly, tilt the lift mast forwards and back-
wards repeatedly and actuate the attach-
ment repeatedly, as is necessary.
¾ Lower the fork carriage to a supporting
surface until the chains are relieved of load.
¾ Check the hydraulic oil l
evel and top up if
necessary.
¾ Fill up with fuel.
¾ Coat all unpainted mechanical components
with a thin film of oil or grease.

erminals with acid-free
grease. (Follow the

foil, as this will
encourage condensation
water to form and
collect.

down for more than
six months, further me
asures must be agreed
with your authorised d
ealer.
