Storage and decommissioning
Storage of truck
Precautions should be taken if the truck must
not be used for a reasonably long period. The
operations depend on the length of time it is
unused.
Long-term truck storage
The following work must be carried out on the
truck to prevent corrosion if it needs to be stor-
ed for a long period of time. If the truck is to be
stored for more than two months, it must be
positioned in a clean and dry area. The area
must be well-ventilated with no risk of freez-
ing.
The following operations must be performed:
–
Clean the truck thoroughly.
–
Check the hydraulic oil level and refill if nec-
essary.
–
Lower the forks onto a suitable support (e.g.
a pallet) until the chains are slack.
–
Coat any unpainted metal parts with a thin
layer of oil or grease.
–
Grease all hinges and joints.
–
Check battery condition and electrolyte den-
sity. Maintain the battery in accordance with
the manufacturer's requirements. (Follow
the instructions).
–
Spray contacts with an aerosol product de-
signed for contacts.
–
Raise and chock the truck: the wheels must
not touch the ground in order to prevent ir-
reversible deformation of the tyres.
–
Cover the truck with a cotton cover to pro-
tect it from dust.
CAUTION
We recommend that you do not use a plastic sheet
as this encourages condensation to form.
Consult the service department for further
measures to take if the truck must be stored
for a longer period of time.
Recommissioning after storage
If the truck has been stored for more than six
months, it must be checked carefully before
being recommissioned. This check is similar to
the workplace accident prevention inspection.
It is therefore necessary to check all points
and systems that are important for truck safe-
ty.
Carry out the following operations:
–
Clean the truck thoroughly.
–
Grease all hinges and joints.
–
Check the condition and density of electro-
lyte, and, if necessary, recharge the battery.
–
Check that there are no traces of condensa-
tion water in the hydraulic oil. Drain if nec-
essary.
–
Carry out the same maintenance work as
for the first time it was commissioned.
–
Commission the truck.
–
In particular, check the following during
start-up:
●
traction, control and steering.
●
brakes (service brake and parking brake).
●
lifting device.
