Inspect for leaks, tyre condition and pressure, fluid levels, seat and seatbelt, battery electrolyte, warning devices, load capacity plate, mast, lift chains, hydraulics and hoses, tines, guarding, and attachments. After start, test controls, steering, and brakes including the parking brake. Note issues, tag out unsafe equipment, and capture signatures to confirm compliance.
