DECOMMISSIONING AND RESTORING
OPERATOR MANUAL 102
Decommissioning the Forklift
Decommissioning the forklift for long-term Storage
Clean and remove the dust on the forklift components and conduct the following procedures:
1. Check forklift for oil and water leakage and abnormal components. If yes, repair the
forklift first.
2. Lubricate the inside of the hydraulic cylinders by completely lifting/lowering of the forks,
tilting masts and handling attachment several times.
3. Lower the forks to a supporting surface so that the lifting chains will no longer be
tensioned.
4. Spray a layer of lubricant over the parts left unpainted.
5. Check the hydraulic oil level and add if necessary.
6. Lubricate all the components.
7. Take off the key and make sure that forklift is disconnected from the battery power and
press down the emergency disconnect switch. Battery status of charge should be around
50% to avoid over-discharge or full charge for long-term storage. Spray a layer of proper
agent (contact the BYD dealer for detailed type of agent) on the electrical connectors.
8. Lubricate the inside part of the hydraulic cylinders monthly by lifting/lowering the
forks and tilting mast several times. Operate the attachment some times if there is an
attachment.
Storage Environment
1. Do not expose the forklift to rain, snow, frost, smoke and flames.
2. Take precaution measures against rats.
CAUTION
1. When storing the forklift, place the forklift on a shelf so that the wheels are off the ground
to protect the wheels and wheel bearings.
2. Do not cover the forklift with a plastic cover, which will cause water vapor to condense
and to accumulate.
3. Ask your BYD dealer for advice if the forklift needs to be decommissioned for more than
6 months.
