Maintenance and repair
Temporary lay-up
If, for operating reasons, the stacker is laid up for more than two months, the following instructions are to be
carried out:
Place the stacker on blocks so that all the wheels are raised from the floor.
In this way, they will be prevented from becoming permanently misshapen.
Clean the stacker thoroughly.
It may be necessary to support the lifting gear in a suitable manner, so as to relieve any stress on the load chains.
Check the hydraulic fluid level, replenish if necessary.
Grease the stacker thoroughly.
Clean all bright and moving parts with a thin film of oil and grease respectively.
Store the stacker in a dry, frost-proof, dust-free place.
Do not use plastic sheeting to cover the stacker otherwise condensation could form under it.
Additional operations for vehicles with integral electrical systems
Disconnect the batteries from the stacker electrical system.
Charge the batteries.
Clean the top of the battery case and terminals.
Grease the terminals lightly with terminal grease.
Check the electrolyte level, top up if necessary (not applicable to maintenance-free or gel batteries).
Recharge the batteries every 90 days; gel batteries every 6 months.
Spray a suitable contact spray on unattached electrical contacts.
Return to service after a lay-up
Thoroughly clean and grease the stacker.
Remove the film of protective grease.
Check the hydraulic fluid tank and hydraulic fluid for condensation, if necessary carry out a fluid change.
Inspect hydraulic hose lines for brittleness.
Test the functions of the vehicle, particularly the safety equipment.
