Kalmar Dual Fuel Forklifts Portland

In the majority of cases, most people spend quite a bit of money buying their lift truck. Hence, it is extremely important to take proper care of it in order to protect your investment well into the long run. It is a good idea to know the procedures that are undertaken during maintaining and taking care of this equipment.



Among the best ways to tell how good the engine is working is by starting the forklift up and listening closely to see how it runs. Like for example, if there are any knocks or misses, the equipment is defective and this should raise some issues. In addition listen carefully for any squealing noise that come from the belts because these sounds would provide you with a wealth of information.



Some of the main parts requiring attention during maintenance comprise the horn, safety warning devices, gauges, the lights and the overhead guard. Any faulty components or burnt out light bulbs must be replaced as soon as they are noticed. It is also essential to inspect the wiring.



After the above components have been inspected carefully, proceed to the battery compartment to be able to see if the terminals are clean. If the terminals are not clean, be sure to clean them well. Every battery cell should be inspected so as to ensure the fill level is topped up to the regulated amount.



The next step is to drain all of the oil out of the equipment and after that change the filters. The fuel filters, hydraulic filter and the transmission filter must be regularly replaced. Prior to fitting them, be sure to write the date on the new filters by utilizing a permanent marker in order to keep track.



When the oil change has been carried out and new filters have been fitted, visually inspect the drive axle from underneath the equipment. Be certain to grease the axle if there is any grease fitting. Inspect the engine belts for any cracks or frays. If you find any, fix the issue accordingly. After that, check every other component of the machine like the wheels. If any kind of issue or fault is detected, be certain to deal with it immediately so as to make sure the equipment is running at its safest and optimum levels.
