Daily Safety Check 30
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 to stop
safely, don't drive the truck.
• Check wire guidance operation.
If anything doesn't look, work or feel right, don't drive the truck. Report the
problem to 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.
