2. Test your truck in an uncongested area
 

• Test the hydraulic functions.

  • Check the steering.

  • Operate the truck slowly in both directions

  • Operate through the full speed range in both forward 
  and 

reverse.

  • Check braking distance in forward and reverse. Load size  
  and 

fl oor conditions can affect these distances.

  • Know the distance it takes to stop before you start  

    working. If the braking distance is too long to stop safely,  
    don't use the truck.

If anything doesn't look, work, or feel right, don't use the truck. Report the 
problem to your supervisor.

You can get checklist forms from your Crown dealer (part 

no. OF-3772). Used properly, this checklist can alert 

service people to needed repairs.
