7-28 How to Perform Planned Maintenance
Lift Chains
Lubricate the entire length of the upright rail lift and carriage chains
with CLARK Chain and Cable Lube.
IMPORTANT
Do not lubricate the carriage roller rails.
Air Cleaning
Always maintain a lift truck in a clean condition. Do not allow dirt,
dust, lint, or other contaminants to accumulate on the truck. Keep the
truck free from leaking oil and grease. Wipe up all oil spills. Keep the
controls and floorboards clean, dry, and safe. A clean truck makes it
easier to see leakage and loose, missing, or damaged parts, and
helps prevent fires. A clean truck runs cooler. The environment in
which a lift truck operates determines how often and to what extent
cleaning is necessary.
For example, trucks operating in manufacturing plants that have a
high level of dirt, dust, or lint (for example, cotton fibers or paper
dust) in the air or on the floor or ground, require more frequent
cleaning. The radiator especially may require daily air cleaning to
ensure correct cooling. If air pressure does not remove heavy
deposits of grease, oil, etc., it may be necessary to use steam or
liquid spray cleaner.
IMPORTANT
Lift trucks should be air cleaned at every PM interval, or
more often if necessary.
Use an air hose with special adapter or extension, a control valve,
and a nozzle to direct the air properly. Use clean, dry, low pressure,
compressed air. Restrict air pressure to 207 kPa (30 psi) , maximum.
(OSHA requirement.)
CAUTION

CAUTION
!!
Wear suitable eye and breathing protection and protective
clothing when air cleaning. Never point the air nozzle at
anyone.
