How to Make Checks With the Engine Stopped
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, cot-
ton, agricultural grass/grain, etc.).
Tires and Wheels
Check the tires for damage (see Figure 21). Check the tread
and remove any objects that will cause damage. Check for
bent or damaged rims. Check for loose or missing hardware.
Remove any wire, strapping, or other material that is wrapped
around the axle.
