Lifting and jacking up: When an industrial truck is to be lifted, the lifting gear must
only be secured to the points specially provided for this purpose. When the truck is to
be jacked up, suitable measures must be taken to prevent the truck from slipping or
tipping over (use of chocks and/or blocks). Work underneath the raised load lifting de-
vice must only be carried out when the fork is immobilized and supported by a chain
of adequate strength (see "Securing the driver's position carriage and mast" in sec-
tion G).
NOTICE
Jacking point see chapter D.
Cleaning operations: Do not use inflammable liquids when cleaning the industrial
truck. Before commencing cleaning operations, all safety measures that are required
to prevent sparking (e.g. by short-circuits) must be taken. For battery-operated indus-
trial trucks, the battery plug must be removed. Use only weak vacuum air, weak com-
pressed air and non-conducting, antistatic brushes for the cleaning of electric or elec-
tronic assemblies.
IMPORTANT If the industrial truck is to be cleaned using a water jet or a high-pressure
cleaner, all electric and electronic components must be carefully covered
beforehand because moisture can lead to incorrect functioning.
Cleaning by means of a steam jet is not permitted.
Upon completion of cleaning work, the operations detailed in the section "Recommis-
sioning" must be performed.
Work on the electric system: Work on the electric system of the truck must only be
performed by personnel specially trained for such operations. Before commencing
any work on the electric system, all measures required to prevent electric shocks
must be taken. For battery-operated industrial trucks, the truck must also be depow-
ered by removing the battery plug.
Welding: To prevent damage to electric or electronic components, remove them from
the industrial truck prior to welding.
Settings: When repairing or replacing hydraulic, electric or electronic components or
assemblies, all truck-specific settings have to be retained.
Wheels: The quality of the wheels greatly affects the stability and the driving behavior
of the industrial truck.
To ensure compliance with the data sheet specifications, only use genuine spare
parts from the manufacturer when replacing the originally mounted wheels.
When replacing wheels, ensure that the industrial truck remains level (wheels must
always be replaced in pairs, i.e. left and right together).
Lift chains: Lift chains (when provided) shall be inspected regularly. Chain found to
have cracked, broken, or missing link plates; to have protruding, turned or seized
pins; or, to be significantly corroded, shall be replaced, in pairs if so provided. New
chain anchor pins shall be installed when chains are replaced. The lift chains wear
rapidly if not lubricated. The intervals in the service checklist apply to normal duty. If
requirements are higher (dust, temperature), lubrication is required more often. The
specified chain spray must be used as specified. The external application of grease
does not provide sufficient lubrication.
Wire ropes: Wire ropes (when provided) shall be inspected regularly. Any rope found
to have a marked reduction in diameter, excessive abrasion of outside wires, broken
wires, damage, or, to be significantly corroded, shall be replaced.
