Clean the lift truck
NOTE
The necessity of cleaning depends on the use of the
truck. If used with aggressive media such as salt water,
fertiliser, chemicals, cement, etc., clean the truck
thoroughly after every application.
Hot steam or intensive degreasing solutions should be
used with utmost care! The grease in the lubricated-for-
life bearings will dissolve and leak out. As regreasing is
not possible, the bearings will be damaged.
- Depress the emergency stop button.
Danger
For safety reasons the front axle and the area of
the front axle of the truck should never be cleaned
with a high pressure cleaning device.
This may substantially reduce the braking effect during
the first braking attempts after cleaning.
ATTENTION
When washing with a cleaning device, do not
directly expose the electrical system, front axle
area, electric motors and insulating material to the jet,
cover them first.
Clean the oil filler openings along with the surrounding
area and the grease nipples prior to lubrication.
When cleaning with compressed air, first remove sticking
dirt with a cold cleaner.
Inspection and maintenance as required Maintenance
Clean and spray the lift chain
NOTE
The lift chain must be cleaned if dust on the chain
prevents penetration of the lubricant.
- Position an oil catch tray under the mast.
- Clean the chain using paraffin derivatives such as washing
petrol (follow manufacturer’s notes on safety).
- When using a steam jet, clean without additives.
- After cleaning, blow dry the chain at once to remove any
water in the chain links and on the chain surface. During
this procedure the chain should be moved several times.
- Spray the chain at once with Linde chain spray. Also move
the chain when spraying.
ATTENTION
Lift chains are safety components. The use of
cold cleaners, chemical cleaning agents and
caustic or acidic and chlorinated fluids can be a direct
cause of damage to the chains.
