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.

c. Fuel Gauge. Check the fuel gauge for proper reading. On types Liquefied Petroleum (LP) and Compressed Natural-gas (CN) 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.

15. Fire Extinguisher. When equipped, visually inspect the extinguisher cylinder for dents.

Check that the gauge is registering in the green (if so equipped) and check that the wire seal has not been broken. Verify periodic checks are current. Check nozzle and hose for defects. Reject extinguisher if not serviceable.

16. Operator Restraint System. If MHE is equipped with an operator restraint system (e.g., seat belt) it shall be inspected to verify that they fully extend out, can be properly secured, and fully retract back. Additionally, they shall not exhibit any evidence of the following discrepancies: (a) nicks or cuts, (b) frayed webbing, (c) holes, and (d) broken or worn retractor.

17. Forks. Visually examine the forks for surface cracks, including under the heel of the forks. Verify that blade and shank are straight, properly installed, and fork tips are even.

Verify that load ratings of forks match MHE load rating. Surface cracks appearing on the forks shall be cause for rejection until forks are repaired or replaced.

18. Fork Positioning Locks/Stops. Verify the fork positioning locks/stops secure each fork in position. Verify forks are securely engaged to the carriage.

19. Fork Safety Chains. Verify the presence and operation of fork safety chains (equipped on units with folding forks) and associated locking pins.

20. Overhead Guards. Visually Inspect all hardware. Verify that overhead guard and hardware is in place and all structural members appear to be or are secured.

21. Ground Straps or Static Conductive Tires/Wheels. For rated EE type MHE, verify the presence of two ground straps and that they touch the floor/deck or two conductive tires/wheels. For rated EX type MHE, verify the presence of two conductive tires/wheels.

22. Structural Cracks/dents or damage. Visually inspect readily accessible area of the forklift for structural cracks, dents, damage, or defects. Reject MHE until repaired or replaced.

23. Mandatory Markings. Verify the following is clearly and properly marked: (a) safe working load (SWL) and vehicle weight (VW) on both sides, and except for pallet trucks, in view of operator, (b) operator controls, (c) manufacturer’s nameplate/label, (d) accredited laboratory (UL, FM) certification, and (e) for ammunition and explosives handling only, the weight test certification form. Reject if any marking is missing, illegible, expired or incorrect. All other required markings that are rejected shall be recorded on the MHE Inspection Form, but is not a cause for removal from service.
