31Daily Safety Check
2. Test drive your truck in an uncongested area.
• Try the hydraulic functions.
• Check that the steering is easy and smooth.
• Drive the truck slowly in both directions.
• Drive through the full speed range in both forward and
reverse.
• Check braking and plugging distances in forward and
reverse. Load size and floor conditions can affect these
distances.
• Know the distance it takes to stop before you start
working. If the braking distance is too long for you, do
not drive your truck. Notify your supervisor.
If anything doesn't look, work, feel or sound right, do not operate your
truck. Notify your supervisor.
You can get checklist forms from your Crown dealer (part no.
OF-3772). Used properly, this checklist can alert service people
to needed repairs.
