Daily maintenance of diesel forklifts is the key to ensure its long-term stable operation and extend its service life. The following is a detailed daily maintenance content, divided into several main parts:
Check and replace engine oil:
The engine of a diesel forklift needs to change the engine oil and oil filter regularly. This is usually determined by the manufacturer's recommendations or the time and frequency of forklift use.
Hydraulic oil and hydraulic system inspection:
Hydraulic oil is the key to the lifting and tilting functions of the forklift, and the oil level needs to be checked regularly and replaced or replenished as needed.
Cooling system maintenance:
Check the coolant level and make sure there are no leaks in the cooling system. Clean or replace the coolant regularly to prevent overheating.
Cleaning or replacement of the air filter:
The air filter is responsible for providing clean air to the engine. Check the filter regularly for blockage and clean or replace it.
Fuel system inspection:
Check whether the fuel line is leaking, whether the fuel filter needs to be replaced, and whether the fuel tank is clean.
Battery and electrical system inspection:
For diesel forklifts with electric start, the battery electrolyte level and voltage need to be checked, and the battery terminals need to be clean and firmly connected.
Tire inspection and maintenance:
Check the tire pressure regularly to ensure that they are within the correct pressure range. Check the wear of the tires and replace them if necessary.
Braking system inspection:
Check the free travel of the brake pedal and the braking effect to ensure that the braking system is responsive and effective.
Steering system and joystick inspection:
Ensure that the steering system is flexible and has no abnormal noise, and the joystick operates smoothly.
Lighting and signal system inspection:
Check whether all lights (including headlights, taillights, turn signals and brake lights) are working properly.
Forklift structure and frame inspection:
Check whether the forklift structure and frame have cracks, deformation or other damage, especially in the load-bearing and lifting parts.
Chain and pulley inspection:
Check the tension and wear of the lifting chain to ensure that the pulley runs smoothly and without damage.
Hydraulic cylinder and pump inspection:
Check whether the hydraulic cylinder has leakage and whether the hydraulic pump runs smoothly without abnormal noise.
Safety device inspection:
Ensure that all safety devices, such as emergency stop buttons, seat belts, rearview mirrors, etc., are in good condition.
Cleaning:
Clean the forklift regularly to remove dust, dirt and oil to prevent corrosion and maintain the appearance of the forklift.
Record maintenance activities:
Maintaining detailed maintenance records including maintenance dates, maintenance activities performed and parts replaced will help plan future maintenance and extend the life of the forklift.
