About this file

This document is an enclosure detailing forklift maintenance and inspection requirements across multiple inspection intervals.

The semi-annual inspection requirements include inspecting the wiring harness for corrosion, abrasion, loose connections, and defects, with cleaning and preservation using Alcohol, Denatured Ethyl (O-E-760) per its Material Safety Data Sheet. Contactors on electrically powered forklifts must be inspected for corrosion and cleaned using either O-E-760 or a commercial contact cleaner. Fuse blocks, fuses, and connectors require corrosion inspection with cleaning and application of Multi-Purpose Lubrication/Corrosion Inhibitor CRC 3-36 as needed. The annual inspection requirements are more comprehensive and include inspecting and changing the ether cylinder for diesel cold start systems, sampling coolant for corrosion and antifreeze protection on engine-driven forklifts, sampling lubricants and fluids, topping off fluid levels, checking air filters, belts, fuel lines, brake lines, and hydraulic lines for condition and replacing as required. Additional annual tasks include cleaning the material handling equipment (MHE), performing corrosion control procedures after cleaning and drying, bleeding the brake system at the lowest vehicle point, performing fuel tank maintenance on vehicles with less than full tanks, spraying electrical connector plugs with CRC 3-36, and purging and refilling fuel tanks with fresh fuel on gasoline-powered vehicles while adding fuel conditioner as needed. A critical note specifies extreme care around controller and contactor panels to prevent water intrusion on electrically powered forklifts. The biannual (24-month) inspection requirements focus on fuel tank purging and refilling with fresh fuel on petroleum-powered vehicles and adding fuel conditioner as required.

Enclosure 2

FORKLIFT - SEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTION.

The following are the semi-annual inspection requirements, where applicable:

a. Inspect wiring harness for corrosion, abrasion, loose connections, or other defects.

Clean and preserve, as required.

Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Alcohol, Denatured Ethyl, O-E-760. The precautions, procedures and special protection information concerning the cleaning solvent shall be followed.

b. Inspect contactors (electrically powered forklift trucks only) for corrosion, and clean, as required, using Alcohol, Denatured Ethyl, O-E-760 or a commercial contact cleaner.

c. Inspect fuse blocks, fuses, and connectors for corrosion. Clean and apply Multi- Purpose Lubrication/Corrosion Inhibitor CRC 3-36, as required.

FORKLIFT - ANNUAL INSPECTION. The following are the annual inspection requirements, where applicable:

a. Inspect the ether cylinder (cold start). Change or fill, as required (diesel only).

b. Sample coolant for corrosion and antifreeze protection. Change, as required (engine driven forklift trucks only).

c. Sample lubricants and fluids. Change, as required.

d. Top off fluids, as required, to maintain full levels.

e. Check the condition of the air filter, belts, fuel lines, brake lines, and hydraulic lines.

Repair and replace, as required.

f. Clean MHE. MHE with tarps are exempt from cleaning, depending on its condition.

NOTE

Be extremely careful around controller and contactor panels to prevent water intrusion (electrically powered forklift trucks only).

g. Perform corrosion control procedures upon completion of cleaning and drying the

MHE.

h. Bleed the brake system at the lowest point on the vehicle.

i. Perform fuel tank maintenance on MHE so equipped with less than full tanks.

j. Spray electrical connector plugs with Multi-Purpose Lubrication/Corrosion Inhibitor

CRC

3-36.

k. Purge fuel from tank in gasoline-powered vehicles and refill to capacity with fresh replacement. Use fuel for powering non-tactile vehicles.

l. Add fuel conditioner, as required.

FORKLIFT - BIANNUAL (24 MONTH) INSPECTION. The following are the biannual inspection requirements, where applicable:

a. Purge fuel tank from petroleum fuel powered vehicles and refill to capacity with fresh

a. replacement. Use purged fuel for powering non-tactile vehicle.

b. Add fuel conditioner, as required.
