Equipment Information
Pro Tips for LiuGong CLG 835H Inspection
- Pre-Operation Safety: Always conduct a visual walk-around inspection before starting the forklift. Check for obstacles, personnel, and overhead hazards in your operating area.
- Diesel Engine Care: Monitor diesel fuel quality and water separator daily. Contaminated fuel is a leading cause of engine damage in construction environments. Drain water from the fuel system regularly.
- Fork Inspection: Pay special attention to fork heel wear - OSHA requires replacement when wear exceeds 10% of original thickness. Use a caliper for accurate measurement.
- Load Capacity: Never exceed the rated capacity shown on the data plate. Remember that capacity decreases as load center increases and with elevated loads.
- Hydraulic System: Check hydraulic fluid with forks fully lowered. Low fluid levels can indicate internal leakage and lead to catastrophic failure if not addressed.
- Documentation: Maintain detailed inspection records for OSHA compliance. Document all defects found and corrective actions taken to demonstrate due diligence in safety management.
