or missing fasteners. Make any necessary repairs.
— Check that no safety switches have been bypassed
and that no warning tags have been placed on the
vehicle.
— Check operation of the back-up alarm.

operator’s manuals are legible and stored in the proper
location. Never operate without a legible load chart.
