Regular inspection and the replacement of worn or defective parts in good time will
prolong the life of the Twin Stacker. “Prevention is better than repair”, therefore
ensure:
- Correct usage
- Regular cleaning
- Periodic safety and service inspection (see the back page)
- Due to safety reasons, the below points have to be checked every 3 months:
- Loose screws and nuts have to be tightened up.
- Breaches, cracks or deformations are not allowed on the load-bearing parts.
- Wearing parts, such as brakes, wheels and bearings, are to be adjusted
or changed continuously
- The lifting chains are to be checked
6.1 Lubrication and hydraulic oil
Under normal operation conditions the Twin Stacker requires no
lubrication.
All ball bearings are sealed and lubricated for life, and moving parts
have self-lubricating bearings or are treated with grease. The hydraulic system is
filled with hydraulic oil of viscosity class ISO VG 15. An additive is added to the
oil. The concentrate reduces friction and wear and protects against corrosion.
Pre-mixed hydraulic oil with additive is available from the dealer. To ensure that
the cylinder pipe is lubricated and thereby protected angainst corrosion, it is
important to lift the forks to top position frequently. The oil is suitable for use in the
temperature range -10° to +50° C. A thinner oil is recommended for temperatures
lower than -10° C (if necessary, contact your dealer).
