Please note that whilst the Nano is extremely simple to maintain,
all work must be carried out by a competent person.
When removing checkerplate covers for maintenance purposes,
first switch off by depressing the emergency stop/battery isolator
button located at the base of the machine. Use appropriate safety/
personnel protection equipment where necessary.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Tilt cage by releasing basket securing latch on cage mount (see
pic). Pull and lift cage frame from gate end and cage will lift and tilt
assisted by gas strut. Ensure gas strut is full extended and separate
safety prop is in place before working under raised cage. You can now
access the powerpack housing. Unscrew the black retaining knobs
and lift out the checkerplate cover.
In addition to regular thorough visual inspections there are a number
of simple daily and weekly maintenance tasks that should be carried
out by the operator or other competent person.
Always use chemical resistant gloves and safety goggles/glasses
when checking battery electrolyte levels.
1. Check Battery Electrolyte Level:
(Not applicable if AGM batteries are fitted).
Remove battery cover, and battery caps. Ensure the electrolyte
covers the plates by approximately 1-5mm. Replenish with
distilled water to this level, only if the electrolytic level is below
the top of the plates.
2. Check Hydraulic Oil Level:
Ensure the tank is not overfilled. The level must only be checked
when the machine is in the transport position. The correct
level in this position is approximately 3/4 from the base of the
tank, as indicated by the line.
3.
Check hydraulic connections around the pump are tight and
undamaged.
4.
Check the spirit level to ensure it is clearly legible and
undamaged.
5.
Check all functions operate correctly including movement alarm
and emergency stops.
6.
Ensure mast surfaces are clean and NOT greased.
