Running-in of New Forklift
A new forklift has been carefully debugged in the plant before delivery.
An initial running-in will greatly influence the performance and service life
of the
forklift.
By this factor, the operator must operate it carefully
within
the first 200 working hours of the new
forklift
. The following shall be
paid
attention to especially:
• Before any operation, the operator must inspect and tighten all the
visible connectors and fittings and check the hydraulic system for oil
leakage and the oil in the fuel tank for sufficient volume;
•
Before running, the engine shall run idle for about 5 minutes and for a
longer period in cold weather for the purpose of preheating;
•
Drastic start-up, quick acceleration and hasty braking shall be
prevented;
•
Take care of the temperature of transmission, torque converter, driving
axle and brakes. In case of any overheat, find out the cause and eliminate
the trouble;
•
The pressures of selector valves and safety valves have been adjusted in
the factory, which shall not be adjusted at will by the user in the
operation, lest an overpressure should cause damages to the whole
system and the hydraulic elements;
•
The noise surrounding the
F
orklift shall not exceed 104 dB (A). The
measurement shall be in accordance with EN12053, that is, to deploy a
15
sound pressure meter in the operator's compartment and a sound level
meter outside the vehicle. (The
tires
may impact the noises to a certain
extent if the floor is uneven.)
• The user shall examine the exhaust emission value regularly (generally a
cycle being every half year) and have the relevant authorities to
cooperate in the examination, lest the excessive exhaust emission should
impair the health of the operator and the surrounding persons;
• In case of any troubles of the truck, please hoist and move it away from
the work site and contact the maintenance personnel for repair,
After initial 200 working hours:
1. The filter screen of transmission oil pan and filter element of torque
converter shall be cleaned before changing clean oil.
2. The engine oil shall be changed.
