F Industrial Truck Maintenance
1 Operational Safety and Environmental Protection
The checks and servicing operations contained in this chapter must be performed in
accordance with the maintenance checklist service intervals.
WARNING!
Risk of accidents and component damage
Any modification to the truck, in particular the safety mechanisms, is prohibited.
Exception: Operating companies should only make changes or have changes made
to powered industrial trucks if the manufacturer is no longer operating in the field and
there is no successor to the business; operating companies must however:
– Ensure that the changes to be made are planned, tested and performed by a
specialist engineer in industrial trucks taking safety into account.
– Keep permanent graphic records of the plans, tests and completion of the
changes
– Carry out and have authorised the respective changes to the capacity data plates,
decals and stickers as well as the operator and service manuals.
– Attach permanent and clearly visible marking to the truck indicating the types of
changes made, the date of the changes and the name and address of the
organisation responsible for the work.
NOTICE
Only original spare parts are subject to the manufacturer's quality control. To ensure
safe and reliable operation, use only the manufacturer's spare parts.
For safety reasons, only components which have been specially agreed by the
manufacturer for this truck may be installed near the computer, controllers and wire
guidance sensors (antennae). These components (computers, controllers, wire
guidance sensors (antennae)) must therefore not be replaced by similar components
from other trucks of the same series.
Z
On completion of inspection and service work, carry out the operations listed in the
“Recommissioning the truck after cleaning or maintenance work” section (see
page 190).
