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, awkward to handle, filled with a very hazardous chemical solution, give off hydrogen and oxygen which, in certain concentrations, are explosive, and they are costly.

• Check up the damage of cables and terminal at every scheduled PM (500 hrs)

• During inspection, check the following cable condition

- Terminal for loosing or corrosion

- Insulation for hardening and cracking

• Do not repair cable by cutting out the damaged section and splicing.

• Replace the entire cable of traction and pump motors should be replaced with new cables having over 194F (90C). Inquire the cable at an authorized CLARK service agency.;

Begin the PM routine with a visual inspection of the lift truck and its components.

Walk around the truck and take note of any obvious damage and maintenance problems. Check for loose fasteners and fittings.

Check to be sure all capacity, safety, and warning plates or decals are attached and legible.

NOTICE! NAMEPLATES AND DECALS: Do not operate a lift truck with damaged or lost decals and nameplates. Replace them immediately. They contain important information.

Inspect the truck for any sign of external leakage: transmission fluid, brake oil, electrolyte, etc.

Check for hydraulic oil leaks and loose fittings.

CAUTION! HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE: Do not use your hands to check for hydraulic leakage. Fluid under pressure can penetrate your skin and cause serious injury.

Be sure that the driver's overhead guard, load backrest extension, and safety devices are in place, undamaged, and attached securely.

Then check all of the critical components that handle or carry the load.
