Check the air pressure in the tires. Check the forks' condition. The load backrest need to be attached securely. Do a visual check of the top-clip retaining heel and pin. Then carry out an inspection of the hydraulic hoses, mast chains, cables and stops. Ensure that the overhead and finger guards are attached firmly.
LP forklifts have propane tanks that need to be inspected for indications of damage, rust or corrosion. Test the battery's charge and electrolyte levels. All belts should be checked for wear. Check to make certain the owner's guidebook is stored on-board the forklift in a storage compartment. Check the seat belt to make certain the latches are secure. Test the hood latch to ensure it is working as it should.
To make sure there are no unusual engine sounds, start the engine up and listen for any irregularities. If there are, investigate immediately. Test the accelerator and the steering controls. The parking break and the service break must be correctly working.
The tilt control and drive control should be inspected to ensure proper functioning in both reverse and forward. Test the functioning of the hoist and lowering control, and the attachment control.
