• Brakes, steering mechanisms, speed and directional
control mechanisms, warning devices, lights,
governors, guards, and safety devices should be
regularly inspected and maintained.
• Inspect and maintain battery limit switches, protective
devices, electrical conductors and connections in
conformance with Taylor-Dunn’s recommended
procedures.
• Keep the vehicle in clean condition to minimize fire
hazards. Be sure to detect any loose or defective parts.
Severe Duty Guidelines
If the vehicle is operated under “severe conditions,” service procedures should be conducted more
frequently than specified in the “Periodic Maintenance Checklist.” The frequency of service under severe
conditions is determined by the use of the vehicle. The owner/operator must evaluate the operating
environment to determine the increase in maintenance frequency.
In addition, the whole vehicle should be inspected monthly for signs of damage. The damage must be
repaired immediately.
The following list is meant as a guide and is not all-inclusive of a “severe duty” application:
• In extreme temperature.
• On bumpy, dusty, or ill maintained roads.
• In excessively wet areas.
• In corrosive or contaminated areas.
• Frequent loading of vehicle at/near capacity.
• On multiple shifts.
