Warning: This check requires trained personnel with PPE!

Is the truck parked on a level surface with the parking brake applied?

Is the upright in a vertical position and the fork carriage fully lowered?

Check the hydraulic sump tank fluid level

If the fluid level is low, add recommended hydraulic fluid only, as required. Do not overfill.

• 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.;

NOTICE! The steering system, steer axle, and steering linkage on your truck should be inspected periodically for abnormal looseness and damage, leaking seals, etc. Also, be alert for any changes in steering action. Hard steering, excessive free play (looseness), or unusual sound when turning or maneuvering indicates a need for inspection or servicing.

Check the steering system by moving the steering handwheel in a full right turn and then in a full left turn.

Return the handwheel (steer wheels) to the straight ahead position.

The steering system components should operate smoothly when the steering wheel is turned.

IMPORTANT! Never operate a truck with a malfunctioning steering system.

Battery charging installations must be located in areas designated for that purpose. These areas must be kept free of all non-essential combustible materials.

Facilities provided for flushing spilled electrolyte?

Charging apparatus protected from damage by trucks?

Adequate ventilation for dispersal of fumes from gassing batteries?

When handling acid concentrates greater than 50 percent acid (above 1.400 specific gravity), an eye wash fountain must be provided.

Conveyor, overhead hoist, or equivalent material handling equipment provided for handling batteries?

IMPORTANT! Electric truck batteries are heavy and awkward to handle. They are filled with a very hazardous chemical solution. On charge, they give off hydrogen and oxygen which, in certain concentrations, are explosive. And they are costly. Before you remove, service, or install a truck battery, carefully read the following recommendations and instructions.
