1. The 5 Essential Preventative Checklist Items

  1. Hydraulic Circuit Integrity: Inspect fluid levels (ISO VG 32/46) and check ram seals for weeping. If forks creep down under load, bleed the release valve immediately.
  2. Wheel & Roller Debris Clearing: Remove packaging straps, plastic twine, and wire swarf wrapped around axle spindles that freeze roller bearings.
  3. Chassis Pivot Lubrication: Apply high-pressure lithium grease via grease nipples every 30 operating days.
  4. Traction Battery Health: Maintain electrolyte levels on lead-acid cells and prevent sub-zero storage of depleted Lithium-Ion batteries.
  5. Safety Interlock Testing: Perform daily functional checks on emergency stops, belly-button reverse switches, and horn alarms.
