VISUAL INSPECTION
Perform the following inspections daily or before
each use:
❑ Inspect the wheels and casters for excessive
wear or damage.
❑ Inspect the material lift for loose, damaged, or
missing fasteners.
❑ Inspect the base, legs, stabilizers, masts,
pulleys, and forks for damage and improperly
installed or missing components.
❑ Inspect the cable for wear, frays, kinks, or
damage.
❑ Verify that the cable is wrapped around the
winch drum at least four times when the Fork
Carriage is fully lowered.
❑ Inspect the entire material lift for dents,
damage, excessive rust or corrosion, and
cracks in welds or on structurally critical
components, such as the aluminum masts.
❑ Verify that all decals are legible and correctly
attached to the material lift.
WARNING
If any worn or damaged components are
observed or suspected, remove the material lift
from service immediately. Repairs to the
material lift should only be performed by
authorized personnel according to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
FUNCTION TEST
(2-Speed Winch Models)
Perform the following test daily or before each use
to verify that the equipment is not malfunctioning:
❑ Shift the winch to the low speed.
❑ Firmly grasp both winch handles.
❑ Rotate the winch handles toward the mast to
raise the Fork Carriage to its full height.
The winch should operate smoothly without
hesitation or binding. The motion should raise the
Fork Carriage to the top of the Front Mast followed
in order by each adjacent mast.
❑ Rotate the winch handles away from the mast
to completely lower the telescopic mast
assembly.
❑ Rotate the winch handles one quarter-turn
toward the mast - as if raising the Fork Carriage
- to set the brake
The winch should operate smoothly without
hesitation or binding. Shift the winch to the high
speed and repeat steps above to complete test.
Notice: The handle rotations listed above are
opposite for models equipped with the 1-Speed
Winch.
WARNING
If the equipment malfunctions, remove the
material lift from service immediately. Repairs
to the material lift should only be performed by
authorized personnel according to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
