(2)Inspection procedure
a)Check of foot brake pedal
Check performance of brake and make sure that it is over 50mm from the floor plate when depressing the brake pedal fully.
Proper braking distance without a load is about 2.5m.
b)Check of brake oil
CAUTION
·Remove the cap of brake oil tank and check the quantity and condition of the brake oil.
c)Check of parking brake lever
Pulling the parking lever and to see:
·Suitable pulling stroke
·Braking force
·Damaged parts
Lever operation force(standard 17-22kg)is suitable for operator or not.
Adjustment should be done by a screw which located on the top of lever.
d)Check of play of steering wheel
Turn the steering wheel clockwise and counterclockwise lightly and check to see if there is play. Appropriate play is 50-100mm. The steering wheel can be adjusted forward and backward for a certain angle.
e)Check of power steering function
Turn the steering wheel to clockwise and
counterclockwise, check the power steering operation.
f)Check of function
Check if lifting and tilting operation are smooth.
g)Check of oil piping
Check for any oil leakage from the lift cylinders, tilt cylinders and oil piping.
h)Check of hydraulic oil
Check oil lever,using the oil level dip stick with the forks lowered on the floor. Appropriate oil quantity is within the range of H to L.
i)Check of lift chains
Lift up forks by 200-300mm above the floor, and make sure lift chains are equivalent in tension.
Check the finger bar if it does not decline either to right or left side. If the tension is different, adjust using the chain anchor bolts.
CAUTION
