Lull 644 Maintenance Manual

To check the hydraulic fluid levels, park the forklift on a level surface, lower the forks, and turn off the engine. Locate the hydraulic reservoir, usually found under the hood or behind a panel. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert, and pull it out again to check the fluid level. Ensure the level is within the recommended range indicated on the dipstick.
If experiencing steering issues, first check the hydraulic fluid levels and refill if necessary. Inspect the steering linkage for any damage or wear. Examine the tires for proper inflation and wear. If the problem persists, it might be due to a faulty hydraulic pump or steering valve, which will require professional inspection and repair.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes daily checks of fluid levels and tire condition, weekly inspections of hoses and connections, monthly lubrication of moving parts, and quarterly servicing of the engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems. Always refer to the operator's manual for detailed maintenance intervals.
To replace a damaged tire, first secure the forklift on a flat surface and use wheel chocks to prevent movement. Loosen the lug nuts slightly before jacking up the forklift. Once elevated, remove the lug nuts completely and replace the damaged tire with a new one. Tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure and lower the forklift back to the ground.
An overheating engine may be caused by low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a blocked radiator. Check the coolant level and refill if necessary. Inspect the radiator for debris and clean it using compressed air or water. If the problem persists, the thermostat may need replacement or there could be an issue with the water pump.
Before operation, perform a visual inspection of the forklift for any visible damage. Check fluid levels, tire condition, and ensure all controls are functioning properly. Test the brakes, horn, and lights. Verify that the load capacity is not exceeded and that all safety equipment is in place.
To shut down the forklift, first lower the forks to the ground. Shift the transmission to neutral, engage the parking brake, and let the engine idle for a minute to cool down. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Perform a post-operation inspection to ensure the forklift is in good condition for the next use.
Common transmission problems can be caused by low transmission fluid levels, worn-out gears, or a malfunctioning torque converter. Regularly check and maintain the transmission fluid level. If issues persist, inspect the transmission for wear and damage, and consult a professional mechanic for repairs.
To improve longevity, adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule, ensure proper training for operators, use the forklift within its capacity limits, and store it in a sheltered environment to protect it from weather elements. Regularly inspect and replace worn parts to prevent major failures.
Calibration of lift and tilt functions should be performed by a qualified technician. It involves adjusting the hydraulic valves and linkages to ensure accurate and smooth operation. Refer to the service manual for specific calibration procedures and settings, or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
