First, perform a visual inspection of the truck and its major components :
Walk around your lift truck and take note of obvious damage that may have been caused by
operation during the last shift.
Check that all capacity, safety, and warning plates or decals are attached and legible.
Check that the battery is installed and secured in position correctly. Check battery connector for
safe condition.
Lock for any external leakage around drive unit.
Check for hydraulic oil leaks and loose fittings.
Do not use bare hands to check. Oil may be hot or under pressure.
Be sure that the driver's overhead guard and all other safety devices are in place, securely fastened
and undamaged. Inspect for damaged or missing parts, corrosion, cracks, breaks etc.
Check all of the critical components that handle or carry the load.
Look the upright and lift chains over. Check for obvious wear and maintenance problems such as
damaged or missing parts, leaks, slack or broken chains, rust, corrosion, bent parts, cracks etc.
Carefully inspect the load forks for cracks, breaks, bending, twists, and wear. Be sure that the forks
are correctly installed and locked in their proper position.
