Turn the engine off prior to checking various fluid levels: engine oil, fuel, hydraulic oil, coolant and brake fluid. The tires should be inspected for indications of wear and tear. Check the tire air pressure. Check the forks' condition. The load backrest must be securely attached. Do a visual check of the top-clip retaining heel and pin. Next carry out an inspection of the mast chains, hydraulic hoses, cables and stops. Ensure that both the overhead and finger guards are attached firmly.
LP forklifts have propane tanks that need to be inspected for indications of damage, rust or corrosion. Test the battery's electrolyte levels and charge. All belts must be inspected for wear. Check to make sure the owner's instruction manual is stored on-board the forklift inside a storage compartment. Test the seat belt to make certain the latches are secure. Check the hood latch to ensure it is functioning as it should.
Start the forklift and listen to the noise of the engine to make sure there are no unusual sounds. If there are, investigate immediately. Check the steering controls and the accelerator. The service brake and the parking break must be correctly working.
The tilt control and drive control must be inspected to ensure proper functioning in both forward and reverse. Check the functioning of the hoist and lowering control, and the attachment control. Test the horn and lights. Then check the heater, defroster and wipers to make sure they are functioning smoothly. Inspect each gauge to find out that it is reading within functional limits.
How to Replace Forklift Tires
Forklift maintenance includes regularly checking the tires. This also includes replacing damaged or worn tires. Different types of forklifts are intended to be utilized with particular types of tires: pneumatic, polyurethane or solid. Tire types vary depending on things like duration and frequency of use, load weight and ground surfaces. To change a forklift tire you would need the following tools: forklift jack, tire press and replacement tires. Replacing your forklift tires periodically is vital to help prolong the life of the machine.

4 To separate the tire from the rim, utilize the tire press and take out the old tire. Replace the tire with the new one and tightly secure. Lower the forklift, then move the jack to the next damaged tire and do the same thing.
5 A damaged tire can be fixed on site by a local repair company. If this is your first call, the repair company may provide a free estimate. If the tires are really big, you will need a stationary tire press. In that case, you must remove the tire and bring it to a repair shop.
