Check the Brakes – With the parking brake still applied, select forward
on the directional control lever. Keeping both feet away from the pedals,
sound the horn, and release the parking brake. The machine should start
to move slowly forward. Depress the inching pedal fully. The machine
will stop. Release the pedal and the machine will move off again. Then
reapply the parking brake and the machine will stop. If either brake is not
working do not operate the machine and report the fault to your
supervisor. In the highly unlikely event of neither brake working, the
machine can be stopped by switching off the engine. Make sure that you
have adequate space to perform this test and that it is performed on a
level surface.
Check the Directional Control Lever – With the engine running and the
parking brake applied, select forward mode. Sound the horn and release
the parking brake. The machine should move forward. Depress the
inching pedal to stop the machine. Sound the horn, select reverse on the
directional control stick and release the inching pedal. The machine
should now travel backwards. Depress the inching pedal to stop the
machine and apply the parking brake. Select left travel on the directional
control lever. The wheels will start to realign for sideward mode. When
the wheels are fully in position, sound the horn and release the parking
brake. The machine should now travel to the left. Depress the inching
pedal to stop the machine, select right travel on the directional control
lever, sound the horn and release the inching pedal. The machine should
now travel to the right.
Check the steering – Set the steering wheel to the most comfortable
position for driving by use of the adjustment lever on the right hand side
of the column. With the engine running and the parking brake applied,
turn the steering wheel fully clockwise and counter-clockwise. The
steering should move easily in either direction, and not seem excessively
stiff or loose. Perform this check in both normal mode and sideward
mode.
On completion of the inspection the operator should:
Report any defect immediately to the supervisor / appropriate person
Never operate a lift truck that is in need of repair
Repairs should only be performed by authorised personnel
In order to keep a record of these daily inspections it is advised that a daily
inspection checklist like the one provided on the next page should be used
when performing the checks. A copy of this checklist should be kept on file at
all times in order to keep track of the machines service history as well as any
faults that occur.
Note
Remember, in most countries, it is against the law NOT to perform these
checks or keep a record of the inspections.
