4. DAILY SAFETY INSPECTION
1. INSPECTING YOUR TRUCK
Before using a lift truck,
it is the operator's responsibility
to check its condition and be sure it is safe
to operate.
Check for damage and maintenance problems; have repairs made before you operate the truck.
Unusual noises or problems must be reported immediately to your supervisor or other designated
authority.
Do not make repairs yourself unless you are trained in lift truck repair procedures and authorized by
your employer. Have a qualified mechanic make repairs using genuine HYUNDAI or HYUNDAI-
approved parts.
Do not operate a truck if it is in need of repair. If it i
s in an unsafe condition, remove the key
and report the condition to the proper authority. If the tru
ck becomes unsafe in any way while
you are operating it, stop operating the truck, report the problem
immediately, and have it
corrected.
Lift trucks should be inspected every eight hours, or at the start of each shift. In general, the daily
inspection should include the
visual
and
functional checks
described on the followings pages.
Leaking hydraulic oil may be hot or unde
r pressure. When inspecting a lift truck, wear safety
glasses and do not check for leaks with bare ha
nds.
