Engine inspection
Start the engine and warm it up sufficiently.
1. Check each meter and warning lamp to see there is no
abnormality.
2. Check if the engine is generating abnormal sound or vibration.
3. Check the exhaust gas color to see it is normal.
Colorless or light blue exhaust indicates complete combustion;
black exhaust, incomplete combustion; and white exhaust,
burning oil as a result of oil getting into the cylinders.
Warning:
．
The exhaust gas is harmful. If you must start the engine inside
a building or enclosure, insure sufficient ventilation.
．
The gasoline engine carburetor is equipped with the automatic
chock that keeps the engine running at a relatively high speed a
while. Do not be bothered, however, because the engine
resumes a normal speed upon warming enough.
Loading handling system
1. Check the fork installation state, for cracks and bending.
2. Check for mast distortion, chain tension and oil leakage from
cylinders and piping.
3. Operate the lift and tilt levers to check their operating state.
If anything unusual is found, have the vehicle inspected by a
professional serviceman.
Steering wheel inspection
Perform the inspection after starting the engine.
1. Check the steering wheel play with the rear wheel set in the
straight traveling direction.
The standard play of steering wheel when idling: 20
～
50mm
2. Turn the steering wheel in the circumferential direction and
also move it up and down to check there is no looseness.
3. Push the horn button to check if the horn sounds normally.
4. If any abnormality is found, ask a professional serviceman for
inspection.
While moving slowly
Brake effectiveness
Inspect to see if there is anything unusual when the brake pedal
is pressed or if the brakes only work on the side.
Effect the parking brake and insure that the vehicle can be
stopped and that a parked condition can be maintained.
Caution:
If anything feels even slightly unusual, stop vehicle operation
immediately and have the vehicle inspection by a professional
serviceman.
Steering inspection
While moving the vehicle slowly in a safe location, turn the
steering wheel to the left and right and check for any unusual
