STORAGE

If the Telescopic Forklift will not be operated for a

long period of time, prepare and store it using the pro-

cedures as follows.

Before Storage

Perform the following prior to placing the machine in

storage:

1 Wash off the entire machine.

2. Lubricate all grease fittings as described in the

Lubrication chapter of this manual.

3. Change engine oil as outlined in the Service &

Storage chapter of this manual.

4. Apply grease to all exposed hydraulic cylinder rod

areas.

5. Disconnect the battery cable clamps and cover the

battery or remove the battery from the machine and

store it separately.

6. If the ambient temperature (at anytime during the

storage period) is expected to drop below freezing,

make sure the engine coolant is either completely

drained from the radiator and engine block or that the

amount of anti-freeze in it is adequate to keep the

coolant from freezing. Refer to the separate engine

manual provided for anti-freeze recommendations and

quantities.

During Storage

1. About once each month, connect the battery and

check all fluid levels to make sure they are at the prop-

er level before starting the engine.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it warms

up and then move the machine a short distance to help

relubricate the internal parts. Run the engine until the

battery has a chance to recharge and then shut it off.

IMPORTANT: If it is desired to operate the

hydraulic cylinders at this time, BE SURE to wipe

the protective grease (and any adhering dirt) from

the cylinder rods prior to starting the engine. After

operating, BE SURE to recoat the cylinder rods

with grease if the machine is going to be returned

to storage.

2. Remove the access cover and wash the inlet screen

with clean solvent. Remove the sump filter strainer

from the bottom inside of the reservoir. Wash it also. If

the strainer has any damage, holes, etc. it should be

replaced.

3. Flush out the bottom of the tank with clean

hydraulic oil. Re-install all cleaned components and

put the top back on the reservoir with a new gasket.

Clean the filter/breather cap.

4. Fill the tank with fresh oil. Follow specifications

found in Lubrication chapter of this manual.

IMPORTANT: Hydraulic fluid and filters should

be replaced any time contamination is present

before the normally scheduled change.

WARNING

Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can

have sufficient force to penetrate the skin.

Before applying pressure to the hydraulic sys-

tem, be sure all connections are tight and

lines and hoses are not damaged. Use a piece

of wood or cardboard to search for suspected

leaks. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, see

a doctor familiar with this type of injury at

once or gangrene may result.
