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.
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
WARNING
If the parking brake is used for emergency
braking while the vehicle is running, the parking
brake must be tested.
If the forklift continues to move even when the
parking brake is on, park the vehicle in a safe
place and insert a block of wood underneath the
wheel to prevent the vehicle from moving. Then
contact the service center and have the vehicle
serviced.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, the operator MUST
be ready to use the service brake if the parking
brake is not adjusted correctly and the lift truck
starts to move.
