tension of the chains through the complete
cycle. If the chains do not have equal
tension, adjustment is necessary; refer to the
ELEVATING section.
STEERING
Check that the steering system operates smoothly
and provides good steering control.
TIRES / WHEELS
Inspect the tires for wire, rocks, glass, pieces of
metal, holes, cuts, and other damage. Tire wear
will vary depending on the operating surface, load
weight, and the method of operation.
STATIC STRAPS
Check that the static straps (attached to the
frame under the brake pedal and at the hydraulic
tube clamp) are in place and are touching the
floor. Replace a worn or missing static strap.
