Maintenance Schedule
The Maintenance Schedule has time intervals for
inspection, lubrication, and maintenance for your
lift truck. The service intervals are given in both
operating hours recorded on the lift truck hourme-
ter and in calendar time. Use the interval that
comes first.
CAUTION
Trucks operating in non-standard or severe appli-
cations may require special optional environmen-
tal packages, additional maintenance procedures,
more frequent service intervals, and/or special lu-
bricants.
Disposal of lubricants and fluids must meet local
environmental regulations.
The maintenance schedules are made according to
the maximum service intervals for average condi-
tions. Inspect and lubricate more frequently when
operating in dirty or difficult conditions.
Put the lift truck on a level surface. Lower the
forks, disconnect the battery, and remove the drive
unit cover. Check for any leaks and conditions that
are not normal. Clean any oil spills.
The approximate locations of the items indicated in
Table 1 are shown in Figure 6.
