General Knowledge
Proper functioning of the forklift truck can only
be maintained by carrying out periodic mainte-
nance and checks according to the operating
guidance and tips set out in the user guide.
Checking and maintenance work may only be
performed by technicians accredited by the
manufacturer. This work can be performed
by your dealer according to the Maintenance
Contract.
If you wish to maintain and service the fork-
lift truck yourself, we recommend that mainte-
nance is carried out by the dealer's appointed
technicians for at least the first three times.
Your maintenance personnel should also be
present in order to receive appropriate train-
ing.
