Before starting the lift truck, be sure to inspect the
following items for safety’s sake and increased
productivity.
CAUTION
If any fault is found by preoperational
•
inspection, attach a sign in the control area
stating DO NOT OPERATE, remove the
starter key and report the condition to the
supervisor. Operation of the truck should
be halted until the truck is completely
repaired.
Check for oil leaks. Remember that oil
•
leaks might cause a fire.
Waste fluid caused from lubricant change
•
services must not be thrown away
thoughtlessly, because they will be a cause
of air, water, earth pollution.
The service personnel or employer is
required to dispose of it properly.
GENERAL RULES ON INSPECTION
Use UniCarriers’ genuine parts only.
•
Use UniCarriers’ genuine or recommended
•
lubricants only.
Clean the oil fillers and grease fittings using a
•
brush or shop rag before adding oil or fuel or
greasing.
Oil level checks and addition of oil should be
•
made with the truck parked on a level surface.
Preventive maintenance services should be
•
done in an orderly manner and due care taken
to prevent personal injury.
If unavoidable to work under raised forks or
•
attachment, use a stable support to prevent
the forks or attachment from falling down
unexpectedly.
Any time the operator finds that the truck or the
•
controls are not functioning properly, operation
of the truck should be halted and the condition
reported to the supervisor. Never operate a
faulty truck.
General condition
■
Check the general condition of the truck, in
particular, the truck body for dents or cracks and
tires for wear or nails caught in the tread.
State of the truck

Check the inclination of the truck. If the truck is tilted
to either side, it suggests that the tires or wheels
are defective. Contact your local UniCarriers
dealer.

there is a pool of oil or water on the ground or floor
