18 PLANNED MAINTENANCE
18.1 STORAGE
When keeping the forklift unused for a long period of time, remove dirt from all truck
components and then perform the following:
1. Inspect for oil and water leakage.
2. Inspect each component for warping, scratches, dents or cracks.
3. Clean the air filter element and lubricate parts as required.
4. Move the forks all the way up and down the mast to lubricate the inside of the lift cylinder.
5. Report any damage, malfunction, unusual or unsafe condition to your supervisor or the
Toyota dealer immediately.
WARNING
Even a small malfunction can cause a serious accident.
• Do not use the truck until it is repaired by the qualified service staff or at the Toyota
dealer.
18.2 WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
To prevent malfunctions and accidents, it is important to perform weekly maintenance
together with pre­operation checks. According to this section of the manual, inspect the trucks
thoroughly to insure safety and pleasant working conditions. Have necessary adjustments or
replacements performed by qualified service staff or at the Toyota dealer.
Lack of proper lubrication and servicing will quickly show up in increased breakdowns and
shortening of the truck life.
Set up a certain day and make it a rule to inspect on that day. Record all inspection results
and file them for future reference.
Perform the following inspection every week (40 hours of operation time) together with before­
operation inspection.
