Operation

Functional Tests

Perform a pre-operation inspection and func-
tional tests at the beginning of each work
shift. Perform the pre-operation inspection
first. DO NOT perform the pre-operation
inspection with the engine running or hot.
Contact with moving or heated parts could cause death or
serious injury.
Perform the pre-operation inspection and
functional tests in an open area and away
from any other obstacles or equipment.
Inspections and functional tests may require
assistance. Keep the assistant visible and a
safe distance from the forklift to prevent death or serious
injury.
Remove forklift from service and place "Do
Not Operate" tags on the starter switch and
steering wheel if anything is found to be in
need of repair or maintenance, defective, or
unsafe in any way.
The safety, efficiency, and service life of your forklift will be
increased by performing functional tests at the beginning
of each shift. If any of the items in the functional tests are
not operating properly or within set tolerances, stop the
forklift, follow proper shut down procedures, tag the forklift
with "Do Not Operate" tags, and have a qualified mechanic
service or repair the forklift before placing it into service
again.
