Planned Maintenance CAUTION

Overview
Lift trucks are designed to move products safely, effi-
ciently and economically. In order to perform this func-
tion day after day, lift trucks must be properly main-
tained. The planned maintenance (PM) section of this
manual is designed to assist you in keeping your lift
truck operating as it was designed. Proper planned
maintenance will reduce downtime and operating cost.
A good PM starts with operational and visual inspection
of the truck. Refer to the Daily Operator Checks in this
section. In addition to Daily Operator Checks, the tech-
nician should also perform the following visual inspec-
tions:
• Blow off the truck with low pressure air
If the truck is found in need of repair or is, in any way,
unsafe or contributes to an unsafe condition, the matter
shall be reported immediately to the designated au-
thority, and the truck shall not be operated until it has
been restored to safe operating condition. If, during op-
eration, the truck becomes unsafe in any way, the mat-
ter shall be reported to the designated authority, and
the truck shall not be operated until it has been re-
stored to safe operating condition. Do no make repairs
or adjustments unless specifically authorized to do so.
NOTE
Lubrication and inspection intervals must be changed
to a frequency that will minimize corrosion and wear on
moving parts for trucks operated in extremely dusty or
corrosive environments.

• Inspect the frame components

• Look for debris such as shrink wrap, banding or

other debris that may be lodged in or around mov-
ing or rotating components

• Look for loose or missing fasteners

• Look for damaged electrical wiring or connectors

Address any issues found during the visual inspection
following all recommended safety precautions as spe-
cific to that component and as stated in the associated
maintenance chapter or the Control of Hazardous En-
ergy section of this manual.
Next, based upon the truck's accumulated hours, per-
form planned maintenance as indicated on the proper
interval chart located in this chapter.

• 60 Day/250 Hour

• 12 Month/2000 Hour
A Planned Maintenance Inspection Report that con-
tains all of these items in check list form is available
from Crown. Contact your Crown Dealer for more infor-
mation.

Lubrication
The following information provides guidelines for
proper lubrication intervals as called out in the lubrica-
tion chart. However, some operating conditions require
more frequent checks and lubrication than listed. For
example, truck applications which operate in extreme
moisture or dust environments will require modification
for each particular application.
Use high grade lubricants and fluids. Sources of these
lubricants may originate from almost any oil company;
those listed in the Lubrication Identification Chart are
typical and any lubricant with equal specifications may
be used.
M1.0-1460-004
40
For truck applications operating continually in temper-
atures at or above 0 °C (32 °F), use 100% standard hy-
draulic oil (063001-001). Refer to Figure 22831.
For truck applications operating primarily in a cooler
environment with intermittent freezer entry, but stored
above 0 °C (32 °F), use 100% standard (063001-021)
hydraulic oil. Refer to Figure 22831.
For trucks stored below 0 °C (32 °F) and running con-
tinuously at temperatures of 12 °C (10 °F) or below,
use a 50%/50% blend of low temperature
(063001-006) and standard (063001-021) hydraulic oil.
Refer to Figure 22831.
Trucks equipped for use in deep freezers should not be
used in high temperature applications. When mixing oil
for freezer environments, always use a premium ISO32
hydraulic oil (Crown p/n 063001-021) to ensure best
results.
The proper mixture of freezer hydraulic oil will ensure
the best and most efficient operation of your Crown
equipment.
Coat all fasteners, washers, nuts, roll pins, retaining
rings, etc., with a rust preventive (078882) to protect
against corrosion. Lubrication intervals must be
changed to a frequency that will minimize corrosion
and wear on moving shafts and parts.
NOTE
Use Planned Maintenance Inspection Report
(PF17996) to record maintenance checks.
