PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Pre-operation checks and weekly inspections are the
responsibility of the Toyota industrial vehicle user.
Be sure to perform a pre-operation check before begin-
ning work to insure safety.
Warning
If any abnormality is found, or when the diagnosis
operation indicator blinks, or an error code
appears on the display, stop operation immediately
and have the vehicle inspected at a Toyota dealer.
WALKAROUND INSPECTION
Vehicle posture
Does the vehicle excessively lean to one side or the
other? If so, check for a flat tire puncture or problem
with the undercarriage.
Beneath the vehicle
Check for any oil or water leakage on the ground or
floor where the vehicle was parked. Check for loose
sections or damage.
If anything unusual is found, have the vehicle
inspected at a Toyota dealer.
Tire inspection
Always maintain proper tire pressure. Low pressure
shortens tire life and increases electric power con-
sumption. A difference in right and left pressure will
make steering difficult.
Turn the valve cap to the left and remove it. Use a tire
pressure gauge to check the pressure and adjust to the
specified level. Refer to the service data for the speci-
fied tire pressure.
After checking the pressure, make sure there is no air
leaking from the valve, then retighten the valve cap to
the original position.
If there is any difference in tire wear between the front
and rear or left and right tires, or if damage or a bent
rim is found, have the vehicle inspected at a Toyota
dealer.
Caution Caution Caution
Since industrial vehicle tires use high-pressure air,
misshaped or cracked rims are extremely danger-
ous. Never exceed the specified pressure. Failure to
regulate the air compressor before inflating tires is
dangerous. Tire pressure exceeding the specified
pressure will cause the tire to explode.
Hub nut inspection
Check the tightness of the hub nuts.
Tighten all nuts uniformly. Refer to service data for
proper torque.
Retightening of bolts and nuts
Retighten the bolts and nuts on the chassis and material
handling system.
Greasing mast and steering linkage
Sufficiently grease the chains, steering linkage, etc. in
accordance with the lubrication table.
Note:
• Clean the grease fitting tips thoroughly before
greasing.
• After greasing, wipe off excess grease.
Light inspection
(Rear view mirror, headlamp and turn signal light are
optional)
Make sure that the filament is not damaged and inspect
the lens.
Always keep the lenses clean to insure proper forward
vision.
