Fuels, coolants and lubricants
Handling consumables: Consumables must always be handled correctly. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Improper handling is hazardous to health, life and the environment. Consumables must only be
stored in appropriate containers. They may be flammable and as a result, must not come into
contact with hot components or naked flames.
Only use clean containers when filling up with consumables. Do not mix consumables of differ-
ent grades. The only exception to this is when mixing is expressly stipulated in the Operating
Instructions.
Avoid spillage. Spilled liquids must be removed immediately with suitable bonding agents and
the bonding entity/consumable mixture must be disposed of in accordance with regulations.

5.3.3. Maintenance instructions

Preparing the truck for maintenance and repairs
All necessary safety measures must be taken to avoid accidents when carrying out main-
tenance and repair tasks. The following preparations must be made:
- Park the truck securely (See 3.2.4: Parking the truck securely).
- Remove the key to prevent the truck from accidentally starting.
- When working underneath a raised lift truck, secure it to prevent it from tipping or sliding away.
A170148 (EPT20-15HJ)
Removing the cover
- Remove the upper cover (2).
- Remove the four screws (1) and lift off
the lower cover (3).
Replacing the drive wheel
The drive wheel must only be replaced by
authorised service personnel.
Recommissioning
The truck may only be recommissioned after cleaning or repair work once the following
operations have been performed.
- Test the horn.
- Test the brake.
- Lubricate the truck in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

5.4. Decommissioning the industrial truck

If the industrial truck is to be decommissioned for more than two months, e.g. for opera-
tional reasons, it must be parked in a dry, frost-free location and all necessary measures
must be taken before, during and after decommissioning as described.
When decommissioning, the truck must be jacked up so that all the wheels are clear of the ground.
This ensures that the wheels and wheel bearings are not damaged.
If the truck is to be out of service for more than 6 months, further measures must be taken
in consultation with the manufacturer's service department.

5.4.1. Prior to decommissioning

- Clean the truck thoroughly.
- Check the brakes.
- Check the hydraulic oil level and top up as necessary (See 5.3.3: Maintenance instructions).
- Apply a thin layer of oil or grease to any non-painted mechanical components.
- Lubricate the truck in accordance with the maintenance schedule (See 5.3.2: Lubrication
schedule).
- Charge the battery (See 4.3: Charging the battery).
- Disconnect and clean the battery and apply grease to the terminals. In addition, follow
the battery manufacturer's instructions.
- Spray all exposed electrical contacts with a suitable contact spray.
WARNING!
Charge every month:
- Charge the battery. Battery powered trucks:
The battery must be charged at regular intervals to avoid depletion of the battery through
self-discharge. Sulfation can damage the battery.
5.4.2. Restoring the truck to operation after decommissioning
- Clean the truck thoroughly.
- Lubricate the truck in accordance with the maintenance schedule (See 5.3.2: Lubrication
schedule).
- Clean the battery, grease the terminals and connect the battery.
- Charge the battery (See 4.3: Charging the battery).
- Check the hydraulic oil for condensed water and replace if necessary.
- Start the truck (See 3.2: Operating and running the truck).
If there are switching problems in the electrical system, apply contact spray to the exposed
co tacts. Remove any oxide layers on the contacts of the operating controls by applying
several layers of contact spray.
Perform several brake tests immediately after re-commissioning the truck.

Removing the front panel
- Remove the two screws (1) and remove the cover (2).
- Remove the other six screws (2).
- Carefully lift off the front panel (3).
Replacing the drive wheel
The drive wheel must only be replaced by authorised service personnel.
Check the hydraulic oil level
If you hear an explosion sound from the pipe during lifting, please add hydraulic oil.
- Prepare the truck for maintenance and repairs (see 5.3.3: Maintenance instructions).
- Opening the front panel.
- Add hydraulic oil of the correct grade (see 5.3.2: Lubrication schedule). Add hydraulic oil until the
explosion sound heard during lifting disappears. Installation is completed in the reverse order.
Warning:
- Do not add any hydraulic oil which may contain impurities.
Check the transmission oil level
- Prepare the truck for maintenance and repairs (see 5.3.3:
Maintenance instructions).
- Add transmission oil of the correct grade to the oil cup
(see 5.3.2: Lubrication schedule).
- Top up the transmission oil after every 1,000 hours of
operation or on an annual basis, as a minimum. Refit in
reverse order.
Warning:
- Do not add transmission oil which may contain impurities.
5.5. Safety checks to be performed at regular intervals and following
any unusual incidents
Carry out a safety check in accordance with national regulations. We have a special safety
department with trained personnel to carry out such checks. The truck must be inspected
on an annual basis as a minimum (refer to national regulations), or after any unusual event
by a qualified inspector. The inspector shall assess the condition of the truck purely from a
safety viewpoint, without taking operational or economic circumstances into account. The
inspector will have sufficient training and experience to be able to assess the condition of
the truck and the effectiveness of the safety mechanisms based on the technical regula-
tions and principles governing the inspection of pallet trucks.
The truck must undergo thorough testing in terms of its technical condition from a safety
point of view. The truck must also be examined for damage caused by possible improper
use. A test report shall be provided. The test results must be kept for at least the following
two inspections.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that faults are immediately rectified.
A test plate is attached to the truck as proof that it has passed the safety inspection. This
plate indicates the due date for the next inspection.
5.6. Final de-commissioning and disposal
Final, proper decommissioning or disposal of the truck must be performed in accordance
with the regulations of the country of application. In particular, regulations governing the
disposal of batteries, fuels and electronic and electrical systems must be observed.
