• Inspect the upright assembly: rails, carriage rollers, lift chains, and lift and tilt cylinders.

• Look for obvious wear and maintenance problems, damaged or missing parts.

IMPORTANT! Make sure that no structural members have developed any cracks.

• Check for any loose parts or fittings.

• Check for leaks, any damaged or loose rollers, and rail wear (metal flaking). Inspect all lift line hydraulic connections for leaks.;

Functionality of the lift system and controls

Tilt control lever returns to neutral position freely without assistance

Adequate overhead clearance before raising the upright

Lift control lever springs back to the center position

CAUTION! Check and make sure the travel area is clear before each movement and before each change of direction.

Check creep speed and 1A range while driving the truck in a straight line in both forward and reverse directions. All speed changes should be smooth while increasing and decreasing speed. Notice any unusual drive train noise or action of the controls and drive train components.

Stop the truck with the service brakes. Note any unusual reactions in driving or braking performance. Note any need for adjustment.

Check the plugging function first at a slow speed. If operating correctly, then test at full speed. First, drive the truck in the FORWARD direction. Push the accelerator pedal and allow the truck to accelerate to the desired travel speed.; Then, move the direction control to the REVERSE position while your foot is still depressing the accelerator pedal.

The truck should slow to a smooth, controlled stop and accelerate in the opposite direction. Repeat the test by moving the direction control back to the forward position.

Check the accelerator control while conducting the speed range tests. It must move easily and smoothly throughout the acceleration stroke and return without binding.

Test the service brake (drive motor cut-off) switch.

Drive the truck in FORWARD (or in REVERSE) at creep speed.

While holding the accelerator pedal steady, push on the brake pedal with your left foot. The braking action should interrupt power to the drive motor and stop the truck. Release the brake pedal. The drive motor should start moving the truck again.
