3. Maintenance and charging of storage battery
-When the electricity indicator of the forklift indicates that the electricity of the battery is
insufficient, charging should be conducted at once. Otherwise the battery will be
damaged.
-Close the electric lock and emergency stop switch, connected with charge cable and
charging socket and then connected with the plug and power socket to start charging.
Fig 5
-When the green pilot light of the charger turns on, it indicates that the battery is fully
charged and in that case, the connecting cable can be pulled out and insert the socket into
the truck. Then the forklift is in ready state.
-If the battery is completely discharged, full charging must be conducted (about 12h).
-After discharging, the storage battery cannot be placed for a long time and charging
should be conducted as soon as the battery is discharged.
-When the forklift is not in operation, the general power supply must be turned off, the
electric lock must be pulled out and one supplementary charging must be conducted every
five months during the period when the forklift is in storage.
-It is strictly prohibited to open the storage battery air vent valve; otherwise, poor sealing
will be caused and the capacity and service life of the battery will be affected.
5. Maintenance
-5.1If the forklift is able to operate satisfactorily depends on careful maintenance.
-When maintenance is neglected, human safety may be endangered and property may be
damaged. When the truck is in operation, routine inspection should be conducted
frequently and abnormal should be removed in time. Do not operate forklift with trouble to
ensure safety and prolong the service life of the forklift.
-5.2 Maintenance: The maintenance of the forklift is usually divided into three levels,
routine maintenance, level 1 maintenance and level 2 maintenance.
-Routine maintenance: Once everyday and the main content are to keep the surface clean
and examine if the power supply cable is damaged.
-Level 1 maintenance: Once every week. The maintenance contents, besides the contents
of routine maintenance, should focus on if the operation of the components is normal, if
the fastening items are loose, if there is any oil leakage, if there is any abnormal wearing in
mechanical components, if there are abnormal temperature rise or sparks in electric
equipment, etc. Adjustment and trouble shooting should be conducted if any abnormal

situation is discovered.
-Level 2 maintenance: It should be conducted periodically and overall inspection should be
conducted according to following requirements:
-a. Mechanical maintenance should be conducted every half a year. The main contents are
to replace lubricating oil for the transmission gear and bearing of the drive wheel, apply
lubricant to various rotating joints, while examining if the fastening items are loose, if the
wheels are rotating flexibly, if the fork rises and declines normally. The operation noise of
the forklift after maintenance should be no greater than 70db.
-b. Maintenance of hydraulic system: Once every 12 months. Examine if the oil cylinders
are in normal state, if there is any internal or external leakage and if the hydraulic oil is
clean. The hydraulic oil is usually replaced every 12 months. ISO oil standard is applied to
hydraulic oil. When the ambient temperature is -5 ~ 40℃, HL-N32 is adopted and when
the ambient temperature is -35 ~ -5℃, HV-N20 low temperature hydraulic oil is used. The
waste oil from the replacement should be treated according to the relevant local regulation
and law. Examine if the operation of the load limit valve is normal.
-c. Electric equipment maintenance: It should be conducted every three months to examine
if the connectors of electric equipments are reliable, if the switches are normal and if the
insulation of the electric equipment is in normal condition. (The insulation resistance of
electric equipment and the forklift body should be greater than 0.5MΩ
6. Replacement of battery
-Turn off the electric lock、emergency stop switch；
-（Fig 6）loose screw1，remove cover2；
-（Fig 7）remove battery wire3；
-（Fig 8）loose screw4、5，then remove oil tube connector 6；
-（Fig 9）pull out the connector before removing the integration component7；
-（Fig 9）remove old battery8，assemble the new battery according to the opposite steps；
