Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Service Intervals:
|
The manual covers maintenance procedures like checking/renewing brushes, brake adjustments, and fluid checks. Specific timed intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) would be in a separate operator's manual or detailed within specific procedures.
|
Service Intervals Detail:
|
While explicit timed intervals are not listed in the product description, the manual's structure implies proactive maintenance. Sections like 'Checking and renewing the traction motor brushes' and 'Motor brush warning light' suggest regular inspection and replacement based on wear, rather than strict time-based schedules. The Linde Diagnostic Unit's 'Service interval indicator' function also points to integrated maintenance reminders, likely configurable within the system.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Fluid Specifications:
|
Brake fluid is mentioned for renewal. Hydraulic fluid specifications and capacities would be detailed in the hydraulic system section of the full manual.
|
Fluid Specifications Detail:
|
The manual explicitly mentions 'Renewing the brake fluid'. For hydraulic systems, it refers to a 'hydraulic pump unit' and 'control valve,' indicating the presence of hydraulic fluid. Specific types (e.g., ISO VG 46) and capacities for hydraulic fluid would be detailed within the full content of the manual's hydraulic system sections.
