7.3. Maintenance instructions
1. Cleaning
When cleaning the machine, do not direct the jet onto bearings and seals, otherwise the
grease will be washed out and the lifespan of the product will be shortened.
The environment in which the truck is used, determines the cleaning frequency. It is
recommended to assess the need for cleaning based on the applicable rules in the company.
The pallet truck can be cleaned with warm water and maintenance cleaner
(REF165TA7474). After cleaning, wipe down the truck and lubricate the moving parts
(seepoint3 in this chapter).
