PHNSY&IMF will conduct the following pre-use inspections: 1. Tires and Rims. Visually inspect readily accessible areas of tires for excessive wear and damage. Visually Inspect readily accessible areas of the rims for dents, bends, and cracks. 2. Engine Oil and Fluid Leaks. Visually check readily accessible areas for apparent engine oil, hydraulic, transmission and brake fluid leaks. 3. Radiator Coolant Leaks. Visually check readily accessible areas for apparent radiator coolant leaks. 4. Battery. Visually check accessible portions of the battery and the battery cables for apparent damage, cuts and abrasions. Visually verify that the accessible portion of cables appear to be free of corrosion, verdigris, arcing, pitting, exposed conductor material, and loose connections. 5. Fuel System. Visually inspect the visually accessible portions of fuel system area for any apparent leaks or any abnormal odors. 6. Unusual Engine Noises. Start engine, should any unusual noises be noted with the engine running, turn off Material Handling Equipment (MHE), reject and discontinue this check. 7. Lights. Check that the headlights, brake lights, and any other installed lights are working. All lights must operate properly. 8. Horn. Depress the horn push button to verify that the horn is operating properly. 9. Hoist. Raise and lower hoist to verify the hoist assembly and controls operate smoothly. Inspect all visually accessible hoses for cracked coverings or apparent leaks. 10. Tilt and Side Shift. Tilt forward and backward to verify the tilt operates smoothly. Operate side shift to verify the carriage moves immediately and smoothly to the left and the right. Inspect all visually accessible hoses for cracked coverings or apparent leaks. 11. Transmission/Clutch. Verify that the transmission/clutch operates smoothly with no unusual noises. Verify that the parking brake is set and that no one is in front of or behind the MHE. A periodic check can be made by attempting to stall the engine with the directional control lever in either the forward or reverse position. If the engine starts, the MHE shall be rejected. 12. Directional Controls. Shift directional controls into forward, neutral and reverse directions to verify the MHE operates properly and smoothly. 13. Brake System Check. With the parking brake engaged, attempt to drive MHE forward by applying a moderate amount of power to the MHE and verify that it does not move. Visually inspect that no fluid is leaking from the brake system. Check the service brakes to verify they stop the MHE smoothly and evenly without pulling or binding. Where applicable, check the dead-man brake or travel control disconnect device for proper operation. 14. Gauges/Meters. Where applicable, inspect the following: a. Warning Indicators. With the engine running at normal operating temperature, check the oil pressure gauge for normal operating pressure. If any warning indicator lights signal a malfunction, the MHE shall be rejected until repaired. b. Coolant Temperature Gauge. With the engine running at normal operating temperature, check that the gauge is indicating within the proper indicating range. -- 2 of 6 -- c. Fuel Gauge. Check the fuel gauge for proper reading. On Liquefied Petroleum (LP) and Compressed Natural-gas (CN) types of MHE, the mechanical-type fuel gauge may be mounted directly on the gas tank. Dual-fueled MHE shall not be operated unless the gasoline fuel tank is at least 1/4 full. d. Voltmeter/Ammeter gauge. With the engine running, check the voltmeter/ammeter to verify that it’s in the green range when the engine is running at least 550 rpm. e. Hour meter. Verify that the hour meter is registering while the engine is running. f. Weight Scales. With forks elevated, and no load, verify that the weight scales read zero. Adjust accordingly. …
