Daily Pre-Shift Inspection Checklist (continued)
10. Left Carriage Cylinder
- Check for leaks at the fittings and gland (where the cylinder rod extends and retracts).
Check for scratches and nicks on the cylinder rod. Check the mounts for cracks on either end of the cylinder. Check
for missing or loose bolts on the cylinder retaining pins at either end of the cylinder.
11. Left Tilt Cylinder - Check for leaks at the fittings and gland (where the cylinder rod extends and retracts). Check
for scratches and nicks on the cylinder rod. Check the mounts for cracks on either end of the cylinder. Check for
missing or loose bolts on the cylinder retaining pins at either end of the cylinder.
12. Left Front Tire and Wheel - Look for debris, mud, or binding behind and around the wheel. Ensure that there are
no missing or loose wheel nuts. There should be no chunks, cuts, or excessive wear on the tire. Check the tire for
proper inflation in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Any tire with the body ply cords
visible, or showing any signs of cuts, bulges or other signs of damage, should be replaced immediately. Look for
bent or corroded rims.
13. Side-Shift Cylinder – Check for leaks at the fittings and gland (where the cylinder rod extends and retracts).
Check for scratches and nicks on the cylinder rod. Check the mounts for cracks on either end of the cylinder. Check
for missing or loose bolts on the cylinder retaining pins at either end of the cylinder.
14. Left Side-Shift Pin - Check for missing or loose bolts on either end.
15. Left Stabilizer - Check for damage and bends. Ensure the wear pads are intact. Adjust with shims if necessary.
16. Left Fork – Inspect the lock pins to ensure that they are functional and making positive engagement in the fork
board. Check the top and bottom fork carriage mountings on the fork for cracks and wear. Check the fork for
bends, cracks and surface wear horizontally (along the blade), vertically (along the shank), and at the heel. Ensure
both forks are in the same level plane.
17. Mast - Check that the mast is not bent or has any debris on it. Check the bolts on the base of the mast cylinder for
tightness.
18. Mast Chains – Check all mast chains. All chains should be lubricated. There should be no seized links or rotated
connecting pins over the entire length of the chains. When the chains are without tension, ensure that they have
equal slack, and that the slack is not excessive.
19. Load Backrest (if fitted) - The load backrest should not be bent or loose.
