Visual and Daily Maintenance Inspections
Section 2 - Operation
2.8-5 Hydraulic
Maintaining the hydraulic components is essential to
good performance and service life of the telehandler
Perform a visual inspection and check for leaks around
the following areas:
•
hydraulic tank, filter(s), fittings, hoses, pump,
and frame surface
•
all hydraulic cylinders
•
all hydraulic manifolds
•
underside of the frame
•
ground area under the telehandler
2.8-6 Cylinders
-
Ensure all cylinders are properly secured
and there is no evidence of leakage.
-
Grease weekly and check pins and
bushings to ensure there is no evidence
of damage.
2.8-7 Frame
• Wheel/Tire Assembly
The telehandler is either equipped with air
tires or foam-filled tires. Tire and/or wheel
failure could result in a telehandler tipover.
Component damage may also result if
problems are not discovered and repaired in
a timely fashion.
WARNING
An over-inflated tire can explode and
may cause death or serious injury.
-
Check all tire treads and sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, punctures and unusual wear.
-
Check each wheel for damage and cracked
welds.
-
Check each lug nut for proper torque to
ensure none are loose.
To safeguard maximum stability, achieve optimum
telehandler handling and minimize tire wear, it is
essential to maintain proper pressure in all air-
filled tires.
-
Check each tire with an air pressure gauge
and add air as needed.
• Drive Axle
-
Ensure drive axle is properly secured,
there are no loose or missing parts, all
fittings and hoses are properly tightened
and there is no evidence of oil leakage.
• Steer Cylinder Assembly
-
Ensure steer cylinder assembly is
properly secured, there are no loose
or missing parts, all fittings and hoses
are properly tightened and there is no
evidence of hydraulic oil leakage.
• Steer Linkage
-
Ensure there are no loose or missing
parts, steer linkage studs are locked and
there is no visible damage.
