If the industrial truck is to be decommissioned
for more
than two months , e.g.
foroperational reasons,it must be parked in a frost-free and dry location and
allnecessary measures must be
taken before, during and after decommissioning as
described.

the ground. This is the only way of ensuring that the wheels and wheel bearings are
not damaged.
If the truck is to be out of service for more than 6 months , further measures must be
taken in consultation with the manufacturer’s service department.
