Before
Operation
How To
Perform
The
Daily Inspection
Before
operating your lift truck
you
should check
its
condition.
Be
sure that
your truck
is
safe
to
operate.
Lift trucks should always
be
inspected daily,
or at the
start
of
each shift.
The
following pages point
out
important areas
to
check during
the
daily inspec-
tion.
As
an aid in
carrying
out
this inspec-
tion, Clark
has
prepared
a
form called
"Driver's
Daily
Checklist". Copies
of
this
form
may be
obtained
from
your
\k dealer.
We
recommend that
you
\e
this form
to
make
a
daily record
of
\r inspections
and
truck condition.

perform
a

of the
truck
and its
components.
Walk
around
your
lift truck
and
take note
of
obvious

may
have been caused
by
operation during
the
last shift.
Check
for
leaks
and
loose
fittings.
Then, check
all of the
critical com-
ponents that handle
or
carry
the

Inspect
the

and
lift cylinders.

loose parts
or
fittings.
The
lift
