General Maintenance
Program
One of the keys to safe and dependable operation of your
Kalmar tractor is proper maintenance. Yard tractors are used
in very abusive operations. Moving trailers through rough
yards 10 to 24 hours a day can take a toll on even the best
built piece of equipment. It is the operator's job to ensure that
every time he or she climbs into the cab, that the vehicle is
ready to roll, safely and reliably.
Because all spotting applications are not the same, it is critical
that a good "Total Maintenance Program" is developed for your
particular vehicle and application. A vehicle that runs 24 hours
a day in a railroad yard will need a more intensive
maintenance program than a vehicle running 8 hour days in a
smooth, paved lot.
If you need assistance on determining a good maintenance
program, call your Kalmar dealer for assistance.
NOTICE
The Kalmar Daily Inspection, or "walk around" will assist the
operator in identifying obvious problems that could affect
normal operation of the vehicle (a sample Daily Inspection
Form is provided on page 10). The daily inspection form is
not intended to be a substitute for a Preventative
Maintenance Program.
A vehicle that has not been properly maintained, may not
be safe to operate. The operator of a Kalmar tractor must
be satisfied that his/her vehicle has been properly
maintained and is in safe working condition, before
operating that vehicle. Operating an improperly
maintained vehicle may lead to loss of vehicle control,
which could severely injure or kill the operator.
Vehicle maintenance, other than routine operator
maintenance (checking fluids, cleaning, filling fuel tank),
should only be performed by a professional, trained
mechanic. Many maintenance procedures require special
training and tools to be done safely. Attempting to
perform maintenance procedures without proper training
and equipment may lead to serious injury or death.
