Parking Brake - Test, Adjust
Parking Brake Testing
NOTICE
OSHA requires the parking brake to hold the lift
truck, with capacity load, on a 15% grade.
Testing requires a test load equal to the capacity of
the truck and a 15% grade.
If the maximum grade in the workplace is less than
its capacity, use the Parking Brake inspection
procedure covered in ‘Inspection from Operator’s
Seat, Engine On’ in “Every 10 Service Hours or
Daily” section.
1. Pick up capacity load and drive over to a 15%
grade.
2. Drive forward up the 15% grade. Halfway up
the grade, stop the lift truck with its service
brakes.
3. Engage the parking brake and slowly release
the service brake.
4. Engage the parking brake and shift the
transmission to NEUTRAL. Slowly release the
service brakes.
5. The parking brake adjustment is proper if it
holds the lift truck on the grade. The parking
brake needs adjusting if it does not hold the lift
truck on the grade.
6. If the lift truck starts to move in reverse down
the grade with the parking brake engaged, stop
it with the service brakes, disengage the
parking brake and reverse slowly down the
grade controlling your speed with the service
brakes.
