Cleaning and lubricating the chains
NOTE
If the lifting chain is too dirty, clean it.
– Place a recipient underneath the lifting
chain.
– Clean using a paraffin-based product
(petroleum, fuel oil etc.). Observe the
manufacturer's safety guidelines.
– If using a steam jet, do not use additives.
– Immediately dry the chain and its joints with
compressed air. Move the chain frequently
during this operation.
– Lubricate the chain immediately using a
special aerosol chain lubricant.
CAUTION
Risk of the equipment becoming worn or damaged.
Chains are safety components. Use of cold clea-
ning agents, chemical products, acid or chlorinated
products could destroy the chains.
NOTE
Use of high pressure liquid cleaning devices is
not advisable.
DANGER
Danger of death and/or risk of serious damage to
equipment
On trucks fitted with macrolon mast protection,
clean the translucent screen thoroughly after
lubrication operations.
Adjusting the length of the mast
chains
NOTE
Depending on the use of the truck, the chains
are liable to stretch and as a result they have
to be adjusted regularly.
– Fully lower the mast.
– Undo the locknut (2)
– Place the chains under slight tension by
tightening the nut (1).
– Retighten the locknut (2).
CAUTION
Risk of the equipment becoming worn or damaged.
After this adjustment, check that the fork carriage
does not reach the mechanical stop at the top of
the mast during the maximum lift. If this is the case,
slacken or replace the chains. We recommend
that this operation be carried out by our After-Sales
Service Centre.
