Date: 2012-02-24 View:
The inspection work before work plays a vital role in the safety of your forklift operation, and it is a work that cannot be ignored.
1. Before checking your stacker, please do the following:
a. Park the stacker in a safe and stable place first
b. Stop the engine, pull up the handbrake, and set all control levers in the neutral position.
c. Make the mast and the horizontal line vertical, put down the fork, and let the fork contact the ground.
2. Carry out the following inspections: Check around the stacker for oil or water leakage.
Check whether the tire pressure is normal, whether the tread is cut, whether the steel rim is deformed, damaged, and whether the screws are locked.
Check whether the rear armrest and forks are deformed or cracked, and whether the positioning of the forks is normal.
Check that the mast chain tension is consistent.
Check whether the lamp system is damaged, and whether the roof guard is deformed or cracked.
Open the hood and check the cooling water level. Check engine oil level. Check the fan belt for cracks and wear. Check the battery electrolyte level.
Check hydraulic oil level. Check the brake fluid level.
Put the hood down, get in the car, and take your seat. Adjust the seat to the proper position. Adjust the tilt angle of the steering wheel to the ideal position.
Check that the horn is functioning properly. Check if the brake pedal is normal. Check to see if the accelerator pedal is normal.
Check if the clutch pedal is normal. (Manual gear model) Try to step on the jog pedal to see if it is normal. (Automatic transmission model) Whether the operation of the parking brake lever is normal.
Turn the key switch to ON and check that the fuel level is sufficient. Check whether the warning lights and gauges on the instrument panel function normally.
Check that the turn signal lever is functioning properly.
Check that the brake lights are functioning properly. Start the engine,allow the engine to warm up for 5 minutes,
and check for abnormal noises or abnormal vibrations.
Check whether the mast lift and tilt forward and backward are smooth, and check whether there is oil leakage in the hydraulic cylinder and oil pipe.
Move the forklift slowly to the safe area. Check whether the clutch action (the action of the jog switch) is normal.
Check that the braking force is sufficient. Check that the steering wheel turns properly. It can be seen from the above that the inspection work requires dozens of items, which is a tedious thing. However,
safety is the crucial important.
Once an accident occurs on the stacker, the impact and injury will be great. In order to maximize safety and reduce the risk to a small extent, it is hoped that the operator can pay more attention to these aspects.
