How to Perform Planned Maintenance
Visual Inspection
First perform a visual inspection of the lift truck and its components.
Walk around the truck and take note of any obvious damage or main-
tenance problems.
Check to be sure all capacity, safety, and warning plates attached are
legible.
NOTICE
NAMEPLATES AND DECALS: Do not operate a lift truck
with damaged or lost decals and nameplates. Replace them
immediately. They contain important information.
Inspect the truck for any sign of external leakage. Check for hydraulic
oil leaks and loose fi ttings.
CAUTION
HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE: Do not use your hands
to check for hydraulic leakage. Fluid under pressure can
penetrate your skin and cause serious injury.
Be sure that the driver's overhead
guard, load backrest extension, and
safety devices are in place, undam-
aged, and attached securely.
Then check all of the critical com-
ponents that handle or carry the
load.
Overhead Guard
Check the overhead guard for
damage. Be sure that it is properly
positioned and all mounting fasten-
ers are in place and tight.
Load Backrest
Check the load backrest for damage. Inspect the welds on the carriage
and load backrest for cracks. Be sure that the mounting fasteners are
all in place and tight.
