Decommissioning
General information
This chapter contains information about "tem-
porary decommissioning" and "permanent
decommissioning".
Measures to be implemented when
decommissioning
The following tasks must be carried out if the
truck is not used for an extended period:
–
Clean the truck as described in the chapter
entitled "Cleaning the forklift truck" and
park the truck in a dust-free, dry, frost-free
and well-ventilated area.
–
Lift the fork carriage to the stop several
times.
–
Tilt the lift mast forwards and backwards
several times and, if fitted, move attach-
ment repeatedly.
–
Lower the fork carriage. To relieve the
strain on the load chains, lower the fork car-
riage onto a suitable supporting surface,
e.g. a pallet.
–
Check hydraulic oil level and top up if re-
quired.
–
Apply a thin layer of oil or lubricating grease
to all unpainted parts as corrosion protec-
tion.
–
Lubricate all lubrication points listed in the
chapter entitled "Summary table of mainte-
nance operations".
–
Spray all exposed electrical contacts on the
battery with a suitable contact spray.
–
Remove the battery and store it in a dry and
frost-free room.
–
Regularly check the charge state of the bat-
tery and recharge if necessary.
–
Jack up the truck so that the tyres are not
touching the ground. This will prevent per-
manent deformation of the tyres.
–
Fill the fuel tank.
