For maximum service life of the lift truck, make a
thorough walk-around inspection. Look around and
under the truck for such items as loose or missing
bolts, debris or dirt buildup, fuel, oil or coolant leaks
and cut or gouged tires.
Have any repairs made and debris removed, as
needed.
Inspect the tires and wheels for cuts, gouges, foreign
objects, inflation pressure and loose or missing bolts.
Inspect the mast and lift chains for wear, broken links,
pins and loose rollers.
Inspect the hydraulic system for leaks, worn hoses
or damaged lines.
Look for transmission and drive axle leaks on the lift
truck and on the ground.
Inspect the operator’s compartment for loose items
and cleanliness.
Inspect the instrument panel for broken gauges and
indicator lights.
Test the horn and other safety devices for proper
operation.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks, worn hoses and
debris buildup.
Inspect engine compartment for oil, coolant and fuel
leaks.
Inspect the forks.
• Visually inspect forks for cracks, especially in
the heel section, around the mounting
brackets, and all weld areas.
• Inspect for broken or jagged fork tips, bent or
twisted blades and shanks.
• Make sure positioning lock is in place and
working.
• Lock the forks in position before using the
truck. See Step 7 of “Forks” in “Every 2000
Service Hours or Yearly”.
