CAUTION
Risk of damage from corrosion due to condensation
on the truck!
Many plastic films and synthetic materials are
watertight. Condensation water on the truck cannot
escape through these covers.
– Do not use plastic film as this facilitates the
formation of condensation water.
– Cover the truck with vapour permeable
materials, such as cotton, in order to protect
against dust.
– If the truck is to be shut down for even
longer periods, contact your authorised
service centre to find out about additional
measures.
Recommissioning after storage
If the truck has been in storage for longer than
six months, it must be carefully checked before
being recommissioned. As in the annual
inspection, this check should also include
all safety items for the truck.
– Clean the truck thoroughly; see chapter
"Cleaning".
– Lubricate the joints and controls.
– Check the battery condition, acid level and
acid density.
– Check hydraulic oil for condensation water;
change if necessary.
– Carry out checks and operations before the
first commissioning.
– Change the brake fluid.
– Put the truck into operation.
During commissioning, the following must be
checked in particular:
• Drive, control, steering
• Brakes (service brake, parking brake)
• Lifting system (lifting accessories, load
chains, mounting)
