5 Decommissioning the Industrial Truck
If the truck is to be out of service for more than a month, it must be stored in a frost-
free and dry room. All necessary measures must be taken before, during and after
decommissioning as described hereafter.
When the truck is out of service it must be jacked up so that all the wheels are clear
of the ground. This is the only way of ensuring that the wheels and wheel bearings
are not damaged.

Jack up the truck, see page 169.
If the truck is to be out of service for more than 6 months, agree further measures
with the manufacturer's customer service department.
