CAUTION
Refer to the " Jacking and Blocking" section in the Service
Manual for proper procedures.
9. Operation of the truck to check performance must be conducted
in an authorized, safe, clear area.
10. Before starting to operate the truck:
a. Be in a safe operating position.
b. Make sure parking brake is applied.
c. Put the direction control in NEUTRAL.
d. Check functioning of lift and tilt systems, direction and speed
controls, steering, brakes, warning devices, and load handling
attachments.
11. Before leaving the truck:
a. Stop the truck.
b. Fully lower the load-engaging means: upright, carriage, forks
or attachments.
c. Put the directional control in NEUTRAL.
d. Apply the parking brake.
e. Turn the key switch to the OFF position.
f. Put blocks at the wheels if the truck must be left on an in-
cline.
12. Brakes, steering mechanisms, control mechanisms, warning
devices, lights, lift overload devices, lift and tilt mechanisms, load
back rest, overhead guard and frame members must be carefully
and regularly inspected and maintained in a safe operating condi-
tion.
13. Special trucks or devices designed and approved for hazard-
ous-area operation must receive special attention to insure that
maintenance preserves the original approved safe operating
features.
14. All hydraulic systems must be regularly inspected and maintained
in conformance with good practice. Tilt and lift cylinders, valves,
and other parts must be checked to assure that "drift" or leakage
has not developed to the extent that it would create a hazard.
15. When working on the hydraulic system, be sure the key switch is
turned OFF, upright is in the fully-lowered position, and hydraulic
pressure is relieved in hoses and tubing.
