Oh well....we got round 2 of "perfect Maintenance" training.
Looks like I missed a bunch of steps in my retraining!!!
A pencil pusher giving the latest course pointed out that I missed these important steps in doing a perfect maintenance.
This all to be done in 1.2 hours, work order made and signed....
This is for a reach truck...
Remove battery, lube all rollers, clean acid mess, wipe compartment,water battery, then....torque all mast to frame bolts at 250 lbs. then witness mark all bolts.
re- install battery, test for shorts to frame, 10 k ohms at static strap standoff.
If no stand is available to remove a battery, STOP...call service manager for instructions!
Lube entire truck, raise mast and secure, lube mast,Blow all motors, then...my favorite...wipe down inside of motor compartments, cab, transmission. it should be clean and dry.
Remove all motor cables, re-torque bottom nuts and install all cables, add witness marks.
Torque drive units bolts, add witness marks.
re-torque steer bolts
Test drive and test all functions, wipe down entire truck, paint bottom. Advise customer on possible repairs, clean work area
Are you asleep yet?
Pencil pushers will go on site to inspect your work after your gone...probably to the bar...and scrutinize your work. The truck should be clean enough to eat off of.
I'm still laughing!
