Chapter 11 Transport & storage
1.Lifting forklift
When lifting the whole truck, use lifting equipment to lift the forklift from the lifting point.
Danger!
Do not lift the forklift from other lifting points, otherwise the vehicle may lose its balance, roll over, and injure people
and equipment. Therefore, it must be lifted from the marked lifting point.
(1) When lifting or overhead forklifts for maintenance, pay attention to the position of the centre of gravity of the
truck.
(2) The spreader must have sufficient strength, safety and reliability.
2. Towing and transport faulty forklifts
(1) When using a traction or rope towing the forklift, the towed forklift must have the driver to operate the steering
and release the brake.
(2) If the driving wheel has faults, the forklift cannot be dragged with a trailer or tractor.
Note!
The driving wheels of the forklift must be lifted off the ground, otherwise the wheels and motors will be seriously
damaged.
(3) If the electromagnetic brake has faults, the brake cannot be applied. Otherwise, the forklift will move with the
terrain after it is parked. At this time, the wedges must be used to cushion the wheels to prevent movement.
3.Storage of forklift
If the forklift needs to be stored for a long time, please take the following measures for the following parts:
Battery:
(1) Recharge the battery, and then perform maintenance according to the daily battery maintenance method.
(2) Perform charging maintenance and check the electrolyte level every 3 months.
Hydraulic system:
When the forklift has been stored for more than one year, the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system must be replaced.
Please refer to the chapter about maintenance and the table of lubrication parts.
Drive System:
When the storage time exceeds one week, the drive wheel should be fixed and cushioned, or it can be suspended
in the air to prevent it from moving. At the same time, the cargo must be unloaded.
4.Precautions for reusing the forklift after storage:
(1) After being stored for a period of time, before reuse, the use function and safety inspection should be conducted
in the same way as the routine maintenance and safety inspection.
(2) When the storage time exceeds 3 months, preventive maintenance can be conducted according to the 500-hour
requirement of this manual.
