Maintenance and troubleshooting
The forward tipping box rotator must be placed in its lowest position when maintenance or repairs are carried out.
Prevent the unintended tipping and/or raising of the rotator during maintenance activities by switching off the
vehicle's engine and removing the ignition key. An additional precaution would be to disconnect the hydraulic hoses.

This sticker shows the position of a grease nipple on the machine. Lubricate the machine after every 10
working hours. Recommended lubricants include SAE 30 oil and Grade 2 lithium-based grease.
Regularly check the hydraulic system for any leaks. Never try and search for leaks or stop a leak by hand.
Liquid under high pressure can easily penetrate skin and clothing, and may cause serious injuries. Replace
any damaged hydraulic hoses to prevent them from breaking and any accidents as a result.
Regularly check the oil level of the hydraulic system of your forklift truck / tractor.
