Servicing and inspection
Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important preconditions for safe op-
eration of the fork lift truck. The neglect of regular servicing intervals can lead to fork
lift truck failure and constitutes a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.

The indicated servicing intervals are based on single-shift operation under normal op-
erating conditions. For applications in dusty environments, or involving large temper-
ature fluctuations or multiple-shift operation, the servicing intervals must be
shortened accordingly.
The following servicing checklist indicates the operations to be performed and the re-
spective intervals to be observed. The servicing intervals are defined as follows:
W1 = every
M6 = every 1,000 operating hours, but at least every 3 months
M12 = every 2,000 operating hours, but at least every 12 months
M24 = every 4,000 operating hours, but at least every 24 months

The W1 maintenance intervals must be carried out by the operator / customer.
In the running-in phase of the truck, the following additional operations have to be car-
ried out:
After the first 50 - 100 operating hours, after 2 months atl.:
– Tighten pole screws of battery and check condition of the cell connectors.
– Perform visual inspection of the electronic and mechanic components.
– Check brake fluid.
– Check brake system for leakage and for free installation of the brake lines.
– Check lift chains for equal tension.
– Check arresting and limitation of the fork tines.
– Check transmission for leakages.
– Check screw connections and mechanical safety retentions for tight fit.
– Check the wheel nuts for security and retighten, if required.
– Change hydraulic oil filter.
After the first 100 operating hours:
– Check the hydraulic connections for leakages and retighten, if required.
After change of hydraulic pump:
– Clean hydraulic system with rinsing aggregate and renew hydraulic oil.
50 operating hours, but at least once per week
