moisture can cause malfunctions.
After cleaning the Reach Truck, carry out the activities detailed in the
“Recommissioning
” section.
Electrical System
Only suitably trained personnel may operate on the Reach Truck
’s electrical system.
Before working on the electrical system, take all precautionary measures to avoid
–
electric shocks.
For battery-operated Reach Trucks, also de-energise the Reach Truck by removing
the battery connector.
Welding
To avoid damaging electric or electronic components, remove these from the Reach
Truck before performing welding operations.
Settings
When repairing or replacing electric or electronic components or assemblies, always
note the Reach Truck-specific settings.
Tyres
The quality of tyres affects the stability and performance of the Reach Truck. When
replacing factory fitted tyres only used original manufacturer’s spare parts, as
otherwise the data plate specifications will not be kept.
When changing wheels and tyres, ensure that the Reach Truck does not slew (e.g.
when replacing wheels always left and right simultaneously).
5.3 Servicing and inspection
Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important requirements for the safe
operation of the Reach Truck. Failure to perform regular servicing can lead to Reach
Truck failure and poses a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.
The service intervals stated are based on single shift operation under normal
operating conditions. They must be reduced accordingly if the Reach Truck is to be
used in conditions of extreme dust, temperature fluctuations or multiple shifts.
The following maintenance checklist states the tasks and intervals after which they
should be carried out. Maintenance intervals are defined as:
W = Every 50 service hours, at least weekly
A = Every 250 operating hours
B = Every 500 operating hours, or at least annually
C = Every 2000 operating hours, or at least annually
W service intervals are to be performed by the customer.
In the run-in period - after approx. 100 service hours - or after repair work, the owner
must check the wheel nuts/bolts and re-tighten if necessary.
