TM 10-3930-671-10 Planned Maintenance and Lubrication Recommended  Planned Maintenance Intervals Regular maintenance and care of the lift truck is essential for economy and utilization reasons, but most important for your safety.  A faulty lift truck is a potential source of danger to the operator and to other personnel working near it. Lift trucks should be inspected daily at the start of each shift.  This daily inspection should include a visual check for leaks and any obvious damage which may have been caused by operation during the last shift.  Check the tires and wheel bolts and fittings.  Make sure that the overhead guard is in good condition.  Check all of the controls.  Make sure that all systems are functioning correctly.  Check the engine oil, fuel, and coolant levels, as well as the hydraulic sump oil level.  And, make sure that all instruments, warning lights, and the horn are operating correctly and that your truck is safe to operate.  Use the daily inspection sheet as a check- list and record of your findings.
