4.2
Before using a lift truck, it is the operator's responsibility to check
its condition and be sure it is safe to operate.
Check for damage and maintenance problems; have repairs made before
you operate the truck. Unusual noises or problems must be reported
immediately to your supervisor or other designated authority.
Do not make repairs yourself unless you are trained in lift truck repair
procedures and authorized by your employer. Have a qualied mechanic
make repairs using genuine CLARK or CLARK-approved parts.
CAUTION
Do not operate a truck if it is in need of repair. If it is in an
unsafe condition, remove the key and report the condition
to the proper authority. If the truck becomes unsafe in any
way while you are operating it, stop operating the truck,
report the problem immediately, and have it corrected.
Lift trucks should be inspected every eight hours, or at the start of each
shift. In general, the daily inspection should include the visual and
functional checks described on the following pages.
As an aid in carrying out this inspection, CLARK has prepared a form
called the "Driver's Daily Checklist." We recommend that you use
this form to make a daily record of your inspections and truck condition.
You may obtain copies of this form from your CLARK dealer.
WARNING
Leaking hydraulic oil may be hot or under pressure. When
inspecting a lift truck, wear safety glasses and do not
check for leaks with bare hands.
