Cleaning, checking and lubricating the upright inside rails, rollers and side loader

1. Close the shut-off valve of the LPG tank to be changed by turning the valve as far as possible clockwise. Let the engine run until it stops of its own accord. By doing this you will avoid the risk of liquefied gas spraying out from the hose (danger of frostbite) when you loosen the union.

3. Separate the hose from the LPG tank (left hand thread). Close the connection on the LPG-tank with the cap nut.

4. Slacken the strap holding the LPG tank and take away the empty LPG tank.

5. Replace the empty LPG tank with a full one. Check that the unions at the end of the hose and on the LPG tank are of the same type. Take care that you place the LPG tank in the correct position. The union for the hose must face downwards.

6. Secure the LPG tank strap and connect the hose.

7. Open the shut-off valve of the LPG tank slowly by turning it anticlockwise as far as it will go. Check the LPG system for tightness.

Always check that your forklift-truck is operationally safe. Never drive a forklift-truck you have not check.

Walk around your forklift truck and look for any obvious signs of damage, leaks and dirt.

• The degree to which cleaning is required depends on the operating environment of the forklift truck. For operation in areas with large amounts of dust or paper, thorough cleaning is required after each operating shift, or several times a day. The same applies to operation with cement and chemicals.

Checking the LPG system for leaks and damage

• Check the system for leaks (smell of gas). Always carry out a leak test after changing LPG tank.

Check the gas hoses for damage.

Warning: This inspection requires trained personnel with knowledge of LPG systems!
