Here comes a commentary on the maintenance schedule from Table 8.1:<br />
A trademark of <strong>Meijer</strong> <strong>Special</strong> <strong>Equipment</strong><br />
1. As lubricating grease we recommend Novatex EP 2, this is a special type of calcium grease for<br />
lubrication of heavy loaded sliding parts that protects against wear and corrosion.<br />
2. In case of leakage in the curve of the inner fork immediately demount the telescopic forks from the<br />
fork-lift truck and take contact with your dealer. In case of leakage of couplings tighten or replace<br />
them.<br />
3. When the wear resistant strips are thinner than 1,5 mm, they should be replaced or filled up with<br />
filling plates. For REE: When the hardened wear pad at the bottom of the telescopic fork is so<br />
worn-out that it is level with the bottom of the outer fork, it should be replaced. This is to prevent<br />
excess wear of outer and inner forks. The remainder of the old wear pad must be removed and<br />
the new wear pad must be welded under the telescopic fork according to the welding figure in<br />
Appendix 13. ATTENTION: Take out interior work (piston, piston rod and cylinder head) from<br />
telescopic fork BEFORE welding.<br />
4. When the hardened wear pad in the heel of the outer fork is level with the underside of the outer<br />
fork or is even thinner than the original thickness of the outer fork then the outer fork should be<br />
replaced.<br />
5. Eventual dirt in the front part of the outer casing can affect the stroke length of the telescopic<br />
forks. Depending on the application it may need to be controlled either more or less often.<br />
6. The wiper ring can be easily controlled if the outer casing is taken off (for instructions on removing<br />
the outer fork, see par. 8.4).<br />
7. The international standard ISO 5057 must be applied for checking your telescopic lift truck forks,<br />
except for paragraph 5.6.1 because the inner fork may not be subject to wear.<br />
