BEFORE STORING
CAUTION
If any time your lift truck is found to be
•
in need of repair, defective or in any way
unsafe, the condition should be reported
to the supervisor, and the truck should
be taken out of service until it has been
restored to safe operating condition.
Use caution to prevent electrical parts from
•
getting wet when washing the truck.
Before storing the lift truck, clean it thoroughly and
perform inspection using the following procedure:
Wipe away grease, oil, etc., adhering to the body
•
of the truck with shop rag. Use water, if needed.
While washing the truck, check the general
•
condition of the truck. Especially check the truck
body for dents or cracks, the tires for wear or
nails or stones in the tread.
Check the fuel level and add if necessary.
•
Check for leakage of hydraulic oil, engine oil, fuel
•
or cooling water.
Apply grease, where needed.
•
Check for looseness of the hub nuts and cylinder
•
piston rod joints.
Check the mast rollers to see that they rotate
•
smoothly.
Lift the forks up to the top position and lower to
•
the lower limit. Repeat this procedure to prime oil
into the lift cylinders.
DAILY STORAGE
Park the truck at a specified place and block the
•
wheels.
Place the shift lever(s) in neutral “N” and pull the
•
parking brake lever fully.
Shut down the engine and operate the load
•
handling levers several times slowly to remove
the residual pressure from the cylinders and
hoses.
Remove the starter key and keep it in a safe
•
place.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
Perform the following checks in addition to
“BEFORE STORING” and “DAILY STORAGE”
services.
Taking the rainy season into consideration, park
•
the truck at a higher and hard ground.
Remove the battery from the truck.
•
Even though the truck is parked indoors, if the
•
place is hot or humid, the battery should be kept
in a dry, cool place, and charged once a month.
Apply anti-rust to the exposed parts such as
•
cylinder rods and shafts that tend to rust.
Cover components which may be caught with
•
humidity, such as the air breather and air cleaner.
Put the truck in the operating state once a week
•
and start the engine. Warm it up sufficiently
before moving the truck a little back and forth.
Avoid parking on a soft ground such as an
•
asphalt ground in summer.
OPERATING AFTER LONG-TERM
STORAGE
Remove covers used to seal off moisture.
•
Remove antirust from the exposed parts.

•
differential, and torque
converter , clean
their inside and add
new oil.
