PREOPERATIONAL CHECKS
ITEMS TO BE CHECKED
1
CHECK THE RESULT OF REPAIRS PERFORMED
ON PREVIOUS CHECKING
CAUTION
Never try to operate a faulty truck.
Check to see if any defect found on the previous inspection has
been repaired properly.
2
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE AND TIRE
CONDITION CHECK
CAUTION
The tires of the lift truck have a high inflation pressure. Make
sure the tires and rims are normal and inflate the tires to the
standard air pressure. Do not overinflate the tires.
When using an air compressor to inflate the tires, first adjust
the compressor air pressure properly. Failure to do so will
cause a serious accident since the compressor delivers the
maximum pressure.
A small bend of the rim or a slightly damaged tire might cause
a flat tire, leading to a serious accident. If you find any failure,
contact your local UniCarriers dealer.
Underinflation
Keep the inflation pressure of the tires always at proper level.

Overinflation
Good
The standard tire pressure is indicated on the decal at the left side
of the front guard.
Both front and rear tires
FD160-2
FD180-2
FD200-2
FD230-2
Turn the tire valve cap counterclockwise and remove it. Using a
tire pressure gauge, measure the inflation pressure and adjust for
the standard inflation pressure.
Then, make sure there is no air leakage from the tire valve,
reinstall the tire cap.
Check that each tire does not get damaged at the tread surface or
side face or bending at the rim.
The lift truck needs tires that have a high inflation pressure for
carrying heavy loads.
NOTE
Low air pressure reduces tire service life. Unevenness of air
pressure between right and left tires will cause hard steering or
the truck to wander.
