you arrive at the unloading destination:
• Lock the castors or set the brakes;

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Record the condition of the hand truck before putting it into service. Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple
angles so that all operating mechanisms are clearly visible. Take close range photographs of the labeling applied to
the truck. Raise and lower the deck. Describe the operation of the winch. Describe sounds heard as the deck rises
and descends. How much effort is required to turn the winch? Apply the brake. Photograph the brake. Try to move
the truck with the brake applied and describe how the brake resists movement. Collate all photographs and writings
into a single file. Give the file a name that clearly identifies it. This file is a record of the unit in satisfactory condition.
Compare the findings of all inspections to the record to determine whether the truck is in satisfactory condition.
Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powder coat are not changes from satisfactory condition. However,
touch-up paint to be applied to all affected areas as soon as damage occurs.
