MAINTENANCE AND
RESTORATION ACTIVITIES
Operation of the device can be dangerous if mainte-
nance is neglected or repairs, modifications or adjust-
ments are not carried out in accordance with the
manufacturer's design criteria. Therefore, maintenance
facilities (on-site or off-site), trained personnel, and de-
tailed procedures should be provided.
Parts manuals and maintenance manuals are available
from the manufacturer of the powered floor cleaner.
In unusual cases that are not dealt with in the above
manuals, contact the manufacturer of the powered floor
cleaner. Maintenance and inspection of the device must
be performed in accordance with the following practic-
es:
1 A scheduled maintenance, lubrication and inspec-
tion system must be observed. Consult the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
2 Only trained and authorized personnel may main-
tain, repair, adjust and inspect the device in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's instructions.
When lifting a powered floor cleaner for repair or inspec-
tion, the device must be lifted safely and stably. Remov-
ing components such as counterweights or posts
changes the centre of gravity and can lead to an unsta-
ble condition.
Before starting the inspection and repair of the powered
floor cleaner:
1 Raise the drive wheels off the ground, disconnect
the battery, and use wheel chocks or other secure
truck positioning device.
2 Block the chassis before working on it.
3 Disconnect the battery before working on the electri-
cal system.
4 The charging plug may only be connected to the
battery connection and never to the device plug.
Operation of the powered floor cleaner to test the per-
formance must be carried out in an approved area hav-
ing a safe clearance.
1 Before starting the device:
● Be in the operating position.
● Apply the brake.
● Set the direction controller to the neutral position.
● Set the switch to the "ON" position.
● Check the function of the lifting and tilting sys-
tems, steering, warning devices and brakes.
2 Before leaving the unit:
● Stop the device.
● Set the direction controller to the neutral position.
● Apply the parking brake.
● Stop the motor or switch off the controls.
● Switch off the control circuit
● If the device has to be parked on an incline, lock
the wheels.
Avoid fire hazards and have fire protection equipment
ready in the work area. Do not use an open flame to
check the fluid level, especially of battery electrolytes.

The brakes, steering mechanisms, control mecha-
nisms, warning devices, lighting, controls, protection
and safety devices, stops for the articulated axles and
the frame parts must be checked carefully and regularly
and kept in a safe operating condition.
FIRE SAFETY STANDARD
Devices that are not in a safe operating state must be
taken out of service.
Repairs may not be made in Class I, Class II, and Class
III locations.
Repairs to the electrical system of battery-operated
floor cleaners may only be made after the battery has
been disconnected.
Operating temperature. If it is determined that any part
of a powered floor cleaner is above its normal operating
temperature and poses a hazard, the vehicle should be
taken out of service and not restarted until the cause of
such overheating has been eliminated.
Fire protection. The device must be kept in a clean
condition and reasonably free of lint, excess oil and
grease. Non-flammable agents are preferred for clean-
ing the device. Flammable liquids [those with flash
points at or above 100 °F (37.8 °C)] are not permitted.
Precautions regarding toxicity, ventilation and fire haz-
ard must be appropriate for the agent or solvent used.
Visibility of the type plate. The type designations of
the device stated on the type plate and the type mark-
ings must not be painted over so that their identification
information is covered.
Changing and charging batteries. This section ap-
plies to batteries used in electric trucks. The two types
of batteries are generally lead and nickel-iron batteries.
They contain corrosive chemical solutions, either acidic
or alkaline, and therefore pose a chemical hazard.
While charging, they emit hydrogen and oxygen, which
are explosive in certain concentrations. Battery charg-
ing systems must be located in designated areas; these
areas must be kept free of combustible foreign matter.
Facilities must be provided for:
1 Flushing off spilled electrolyte
2 Fire protection
3 Protecting chargers from damage by trucks, and
4 Adequate ventilation to disperse the fumes from gas
batteries
If on-board chargers are used, charging must take place
at the designated locations, taking into account the elec-
trical requirements for the charger and the fire protec-
tion equipment.
Exception: Rinsing facilities are not required if charging
is carried out without removing the battery from the ve-
hicle.
When handling acid concentrates with more than 50
percent acid (over 1,400 specific gravity), an eye-wash
device must be provided.
A conveyor belt, ceiling hoist, or equivalent material
handling equipment should be provided for handling
batteries. Chain hoists must be equipped with load
chain containers. When using a hand winder, uncov-
ered batteries must be covered with a sheet of plywood
or other non-conductive material to prevent the hand
chain from shorting out the cell connections or termi-
nals. A properly insulated spreader bar must be used
with every ceiling hoist.
Reinstalled or new batteries must meet or exceed the
battery type specified on the device. Newly inserted bat-
teries must be properly positioned and secured in the
device.
When using acid supplied in balloons, a balloon tipper
or siphon must be provided. When concentrated sul-
phuric acid is diluted into electrolyte, the acid must AL-
WAYS be added to the water - not the other way around.
Battery maintenance personnel must wear protective
clothing such as eye protection, long sleeves and
gloves.
Exception: No protective clothing is required for remov-
ing and replacing batteries.
Electrical installations must comply with NFPA 70, na-
tional electrical codes, and all local codes.
Trained and authorized personnel must change or
charge the batteries.
The powered floor cleaner must be correctly positioned
and the brakes must be applied before attempting to
change or recharge the batteries.
When charging batteries, the vent caps must remain in
place to prevent the electrolyte from spraying. Make
sure that the vent caps work. The battery (or compart-
ment) cover (s) must be open to dissipate heat and gas.
Smoking is prohibited in the charging area.
Precautions should be taken to prevent open flames,
sparks, or electrical arcs in battery charging areas.
Tools and other metallic objects must be kept away from
the lids of uncovered batteries.
The device must not be used in classified areas.
