2. Daily maintenance check
A daily maintenance check of the pallet truck can limit wear to a minimum:
• Check the wheels and axles for blockages. Remove the blockages if possible.
• Check the wheels for wear, cracks, flat spots or broken bearings. If you find anything,
replace the wheels. See chapter10.4 How to replace the wheels.
• Check if there are any damaged or loose bolts, nuts or cotter pins. Fasten them if
necessary.
• Check for oil leaks.
• Check if the lifting and lowering functions work properly.
• Ensure that the instruction manual is complete, legible and available for reference.
• Ensure that all decals are legible and in place.
• Check the entire machine for damage, corrosion or cracks in structural components.
A damaged or malfunctioning machine must never be used. If damage or
malfunctions are discovered during daily inspection or function tests, the machine
must be tagged and removed from service.

the lowered position. Use the correct type of hydraulic oil according to the temperature
conditions below.
