How to Perform Planned Maintenance
Visual Inspection
First, perform a visual inspection of the lift truck and its components.
Walk around the truck and take note of any obvious damage or
maintenance problems.
Check to be sure all capacity, safety, and warning plates are
attached and legible.
NOTICE
NAME PLATES 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, before and after starting the engine, for any sign of
external leakage of fuel, engine coolant, transmission fluid, 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.
Overhead Guard
Be sure that the driver's overhead
guard and any safety devices are in
place, undamaged, and attached
securely.
Check the overhead guard for
damage. Be sure that it is properly
positioned and all mounting fasteners
are in place and tight.
Load Handling Components
Inspect the upright assembly, load backrest (LBR), rails, carriage
rollers, lift chains, and lift and tilt cylinders. Look for obvious wear
and maintenance problems and damaged or missing parts. Check
for any loose parts or fittings. Check for leaks, damaged or loose
rollers, and rail wear (metal flaking). Carefully check the lift chains for
