35  Daily Safety Check

CHECK YOUR TRUCK BEFORE STARTING WORK

You must make sure your truck is safe to use. 

1.  Walk around your truck and check it over. 

•  Inspect your harness, lanyard, snap hooks and  
  mounting points. Have them replaced if they  
  look damaged or worn, or have ever been used  
  to stop a fall.

•  Check to make sure the battery is charged, water  
  level is OK and vent caps are in place. Don't use  
  an open fl ame to check the battery. 

•  Make certain the battery retainer and side cover  
  are properly installed. 

•  See that all wheels are in good condition.

•  Make sure the fl ashing light is working.

•  Check that both forks are secure and not bent,  
  cracked or badly worn.

•  Inspect all lift chains for damage.

•  Look under the truck for signs of hydraulic leaks.

•  Adjust the operator seat to the most comfortable 
  position. Turn the rear view mirror to the best  
 viewing 

position.

•  Turn the key to TEST. See that the alarm and all  
  indicator lights are working.  

•  Test the horn.

•  Make sure the emergency disconnect works.

Know the Hazards

KNOW YOUR LOAD

Do not exceed the capacity shown on your truck's 
capacity plate. Be careful when handling long, high or 
wide loads. Do not handle unstable loads.

EXCEEDING TRUCK CAPACITY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

Know the capacity of your truck as shown on your 
capacity plate. Make certain you use the correct units 
of measure. Pay attention to:
• Weight of load 
• Load center
• Lift height

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS CAN AFFECT STABILITY

Be careful when using operations such as traverse, 
extend or pivot. Remember that anytime the forks 
move, the load moves also. This can affect stability.  
Perform all operations smoothly.

CENTER THE LOAD

Your truck could tip over if a load is placed or shifted 
to the front, back or side of a pallet or container.  
Make sure your load is evenly distributed and 
centered over the forks.
