Lesson 1Handling Serious Faults: Quick Actions, Isolating Equipment, Lockout/Tagout Basics, Telling Supervisor and Maintenance, Arranging Safe Load Move if NeededIt detail the right way to respond when big faults show up, like stopping work, isolating the truck, putting basic lockout or tagout, telling the right people, and fixing safe load move.
Spot faults that need shutdownPark, lower forks and secure the truckPut basic lockout or tagout devicesTell supervisor and maintenance peopleArrange safe move of hanging loadsWrite down the fault and actions doneLesson 2Full Walkaround Checklist: Forks, Carriage, Mast, Chains, Lift Hydraulics, Tilt CylindersIt cover structured walkaround of the forklift, focusing on forks, carriage, mast, chains, and hydraulic parts. You go learn to spot damage, wear, leaks, and wrong alignment that fit spoil safe lifting.
Check forks for cracks, bends and wearLook at fork locking pins and stopsExamine carriage plate and load backrestInspect mast rails, rollers and weldsCheck chains, anchors and equal tensionInspect tilt and lift cylinders for leaksLesson 3Safety Labels and Data Plate Check: Reading Capacity Plate, Understanding Load Center, Legibility of Warning LabelsIt explain how to find and read the data plate, understand rated capacity and load center, and make sure all safety and warning labels dey there, clear, and fit for the attachment and place.
Find and read the truck data plateUnderstand rated capacity and load centerConfirm attachment info on plateCheck warning and hazard label placesVerify label clearness and languageSpot missing or damaged labelsLesson 4Recording and Reporting Faults: How to Fill Check Forms, Digital Logs, Tagging Out-of-Service EquipmentIt show how to record check findings proper on paper or digital forms, tag unsafe equipment out of service, and talk about faults clear so repairs done before more use.
Use daily check checklists rightRecord faults with clear descriptionsAttach photos or digital proofTag and label out-of-service trucksEscalate big faults quickFollow up on repair done statusLesson 5Battery and Electrical System Checks: Battery Charge Level, Connector Strength, Cable Insulation, Vent Caps, Electrolyte Level Checks (Where Applicable)It describe how to check the traction battery and electrical system, including charge level, connectors, cables, insulation, vent caps, electrolyte levels where fit, and signs of overheating or damage.
Check battery charge level indicatorsInspect connectors for damage or arcingCheck cable routing and insulation wearVerify vent caps and covers secureObserve electrolyte levels where allowedSpot leaks, corrosion or hot spotsLesson 6Brake System Checks: Parking Brake, Service Brakes, Brake Fluid Level Signs, Pedal FeelIt cover checks of service and parking brakes, including pedal feel, travel, holding power, and any warning signs, making sure the forklift fit stop and hold safe on flat and sloped grounds.
Check parking brake holding on slopeAssess service brake stopping distanceEvaluate pedal feel and free travelObserve brake warning indicatorsListen for grinding or squeal noisesSpot signs of hydraulic leaksLesson 7Steering, Controls and Operator Aids: Steering Mechanism, Joystick/Levers, Horn, Lights, Mirrors, Seat and SeatbeltIt address checks of steering, main controls, and operator aids like mirrors, seat, and seatbelt, confirming them dey there, adjusted, and working to support safe, exact truck operation.
Check steering wheel or tiller free playTest control levers or joystick responseVerify horn and light switch operationInspect mirrors and adjust for visibilityCheck seat condition and adjustmentInspect seatbelt condition and latchingLesson 8Pre-Start Functional Tests: Horn, Lights, Direction, Lift/Lower/Tilt Function Under No-Load ConditionsIt focus on pre-start functional checks under no-load, including horn, lights, travel direction, steering, and hydraulic lift, lower, and tilt functions, confirming smooth, predictable and safe operation.
Test horn and audible warning devicesCheck headlights, brake and warning lightsVerify forward and reverse selectionConfirm steering response and free playTest lift, lower and tilt with no loadListen for abnormal noises or vibrationLesson 9Wheel and Tire Checks: Wear, Cuts, Correct Inflation (Where Applicable) and Load-Bearing ConditionIt explain check of wheels and tires for wear, cuts, chunking, flat spots, inflation where fit, and overall load-bearing condition, ensuring the truck fit support rated loads safe and predictable.
Identify tire types used on the truckInspect tread wear and remaining depthCheck for cuts, chunking and flat spotsVerify inflation on pneumatic tiresAssess rims and wheel fastenersRecognize tires unfit for service
