MAINTENANCE 

1.  Only qualified and authorized personnel should be permitted to maintain, repair, adjust and inspect 

the stacker. 

2.  The work area should be clean, properly ventilated and the floor should be kept dry. 

3.  All parts of the lifting or rotate mechanism should be carefully and regularly inspected and 

maintained in a safe operating condition. 

All hydraulic systems should be regularly inspected and maintained in conformance with the 

maintenance schedules. Lift cylinders, valves and other similar parts should be checked to assure that 

“drift” has not developed to the extent that it would create a hazard. 

4.  Please check the oil level every six months. Use anti-wear hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of 150 

SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 @ 40°C) or a non synthetic transmission fluid. 

5.  Use only replacement parts either supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
