11. Brakes, steering mechanisms, control mechanisms, warning de-
vices, lights, guards and safety devices, lift mechanisms, and frame
members must be carefully and regularly inspected and maintained
in a safe operating condition.
12. Special trucks or devices designed and approved for hazardous area
operation must receive special attention to ensure that maintenance
preserves the original, approved safe operating features.
13. All hydraulic systems must be regularly inspected and maintained
in conformance with good practices. Lift cylinders, valves and other
similar parts must be checked to assure that “drift” or leakage has
not developed to the extent that it would create a hazard.

nected and forks are in the fully lowered position, and hydraulic
pressure relieved in hoses and tubing.

instruction plates, tags or decals must be maintained in legible
condition.
