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.

• Make sure batteries are charged.  Check water level in

serviceable batteries and see that vent caps are in 

place.  Don't use an open flame to check the batteries.

• Inspect battery cables and connectors for damage or

corrosion.

• See that all wheels are in good condition.
• Clean the control handle.
• Check that both forks are straight and not cracked or 

badly worn.

• See that the load backrest is in place and secure, if 

your truck has that option.

• Check under the truck for signs of hydraulic leaks.
• Test the horn.
• Make certain all controls work smoothly.
