PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Daily

Check items shown each day. Report problems to your

supervisor. See Service Manual for troubleshooting,

maintenance and repair procedures.

1000-Hour Maintenance

After each 1000 hours of truck operation, in addition to the

daily inspection, perform the following procedures:

• Check for loose or missing capscrews, worn or

damaged hoses, and hydraulic leaks.

• Inspect lower hooks for wear and proper clearance.

Adjust if necessary (see Installation, Step 4).

• If required, tighten fork carrier capscrews to 35 Nm.

• Tighten backrest capscrews (Cascade) to 195 Nm.

• Apply general-purpose lithium-based chassis grease to

fork carrier bearing grease fittings.

• Apply graphite dry-lube to fork carriage bars as

required ('Slip Plate Aerosol', 'GraphoKote' or

equivalent).

• Inspect fork carriers for looseness on shaft, and cylinder

rod anchors for excessive end play (see Service Manual

for repair procedures).

• Inspect upper and lower bearings for wear. If any

bearing is worn to less than 2.5 mm thickness, replace

the entire bearing set (see Service Manual for repair

procedures).

• Inspect fork hooks and carriage bars for wear.

inspections and 1000-hour maintenance, forks in use

shall be inspected at intervals of not more than 12 months

(for single shift operations) or whenever any defect or

permanent deformation is detected. Severe applications

will require more frequent inspection.

Fork inspection shall be carried out by trained personnel

that is defective shall be removed from service. Reference

ANSI B56.1-2005.

Inspect for the following defects:

• Surface cracks

• Straightness of blade and shank

• Fork angle

• Difference in height of fork tips

• Positioning lock

• Wear on fork blade and shank

• Wear on fork hooks

• Legibility of marking
