PLANNED MAINTENANCE
2. Disengage the park brake.
3. Verify that the forklift turns left and right with a
relatively smooth, easy motion.
4. Turn the steering wheel completely to the right (a full
right-hand turn).
5. Turn the steering wheel completely to the left
(counterclockwise) while counting the number of full
revolutions.
6. Next, turn the steering wheel completely to the right
(clockwise) while counting the number of revolutions.
7. The number of turns clockwise and counterclockwise
should be nearly equal (approximately 7-9 turns each
direction.)
Checking the Battery
The battery used on the Bendi B40i4 Series forklift is
maintenance free. Keep in mind all safety issues, as
explained on page 1-3, when checking or replacing the
battery.
Check Hydraulic Functions
1. Start the forklift.
2. Pull any one of the levers, to see if hydraulics are
working. Figure 3-22 on page 3-32.
3. Visually check cylinders, valves, and hoses for leaks
or other signs of wear.
4. Check hydraulic fluid level.
5. Check all levers.
Check Driver’s Seat Switch
This procedure checks the physical mechanics
(actuation) of the driver’s seat switch only.
The switch is part of the seat. See figure below.
Figure 2-4: Seat Switch
1. Start the forklift and release the parking brake.
2. The seat switch and actuator are internal to the seat
cushion, located on the underside of the seat cushion
between the cushion and the bottom plate. See
Figure 2-4 above.
3. Set the direction control in either FORWARD or
REVERSE direction and slowly apply acceleration.
As the forklift begins to slowly move in either
direction, lift yourself from the driver’s seat just
enough to release the switch in the seat cushion.
4. The forklift must come to an immediate STOP
after 3 seconds (to avoid false faults).
5. If the forklift continues the seat switch will need to be
replaced.
Check Hydraulic Oil Level
1. Lower the mast to within a few inches of the ground,
then tilt it back completely.
2. Side shift the mast to the center (normal carry
position).
3. With the key switch “OFF”, turn the steering wheel
left and right until it becomes difficult to turn.
4. Open the engine compartment by releasing the latch
just under the driver in the front of the compartment.
See Figure 2-5.
5. Open the right side engine door.
