WARNING
Do not operate a lift truck that needs repairs. Report
the need for repairs immediately. If repair is necessary,
put a DO NOT OPERATE tag in the operator's area. If
lift truck is equipped with a key switch, remove the key.
Put the lift truck on a level surface. Lower the carriage and
forks, stop the engine, and apply the parking brake. Open
the hood and check for leaks and conditions that are not
normal. Clean any oil or fuel spills. Ensure all surfaces are
free of oils, lubricants, fuel and organic dust or fibers
(paper, wood, cotton, agricultural grass/grain, etc.).
Tires and Wheels
Check the tires for damage (see Figure 28). Check the
tread and remove any objects that will cause damage.
Check for bent or damaged rims. Check for loose or miss-
ing hardware. Remove any wire, strapping, or other mate-
rial that is wrapped around the axle.
