They should visually inspect for leaks, obvious damage, and tyre condition, the operation of safety lights, service, parking brakes, horn, and steering. They should then check the mast operation by raising and lowering the forks both with and without a load, and finally check the levels of engine oil, fuel, radiator water and hydraulic fluid.

Always check all the warning decals, wipers, beacon light, signal light, front light, hazzard light and brake light if its working, check side mirrors, oil, hydraulic fluid, water, diesel/gas/battery level, tire pressure and check around the body for the damage or dent before starting the engine.

A forklift has its fluids such as hydraulic fluids, transmission fluids, motor oil, coolants and others, which are essential to its working condition. These fluids help the engine function properly along with other parts of the forklift and always make sure to check the tires, light, brakes etc.
