UniCarriers FD160-2 - Items to be Checked

PREOPERATIONAL CHECKS
4-3
ITEMS TO BE CHECKED
1
CHECK THE RESULT OF REPAIRS PERFORMED
ON PREVIOUS CHECKING
CAUTION
Never try to operate a faulty truck.
Check to see if any defect found on the previous inspection has
been repaired properly.
2
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE AND TIRE
CONDITION CHECK
CAUTION
The tires of the lift truck have a high ination pressure. Make
sure the tires and rims are normal and inate the tires to the
standard air pressure. Do not overinate the tires.
When using an air compressor to inate the tires, rst adjust
the compressor air pressure properly. Failure to do so will
cause a serious accident since the compressor delivers the
maximum pressure.
A small bend of the rim or a slightly damaged tire might cause
a at tire, leading to a serious accident. If you nd any failure,
contact your local UniCarriers dealer.

Keep the ination pressure of the tires always at proper level.
The standard tire pressure is indicated on the decal at the left side
of the front guard.

Turn the tire valve cap counterclockwise and remove it. Using a
tire pressure gauge, measure the ination pressure and adjust for
the standard ination pressure.
Then, make sure there is no air leakage from the tire valve,
reinstall the tire cap.
Check that each tire does not get damaged at the tread surface or
side face or bending at the rim.
The lift truck needs tires that have a high inflation pressure for
carrying heavy loads.
NOTE
Low air pressure reduces tire service life. Unevenness of air
pressure between right and left tires will cause hard steering or
the truck to wander.
