Forklift Pre Shift / Pre Operation Check
Before you drive the forklift you must check it to make sure it is safe to use, the forklift can be a dangerous machine if it is faulty or if the operator does not fully understand how to use it.
Read the operators manual and manufacturer's handbook before attempting to complete the checks needed and to familiarise yourself with the components of your forklift.
The main purpose of pre operational checks:
Identify and report damage or faults
Prevent accidents
Maintain the forklift
Making sure that the forklift is in a safe area, away from pedestrians and overhead obstructions, you can split the checks into three sections -
External check
Internal check
Operational check
The External check
Check the forks (tines) for any visible signs of cracks and that they are evenly spaced and locked into place with locking pins.
The load backrest guard is free from damage
The mast and assembly is in good condition and that there are no leakage from the hoses
The wheels and tyres and in good condition and that they have the right pressure (if pneumatic) and that there is no shrink-wrap caught behind them.
The overhead guard is fitted and secure with no damage
The Data plate (rated capacity plate) is fitted and is legible
The general condition of the forklift (especially around the counterweight) and that the cabin is clean and free of rubbish)
The Internal check
Check the engine compartment for leaks and that the hoses are in good condition, the fan belt has got good tension and that the filters are clean.
The battery is secure and in good condition, the electrolyte level is topped up (consult the operator's manual for levels and use personal protective equipment as the battery contains acid.
Check the engine oil, transmission oil and coolant that the levels are within the limits
Make sure you have enough fuel e.g. LPG, Electric, Diesel depending on the forklift you are using and if using LPG make sure the cylinder is in good condition and has no leaks (also check that it is in date)
Hydraulic oil that it is topped up and the level is within the limits
Brake fluid and power steering levels (if applicable) are within limits
The seat is in good condition and the seat belt is securely fitted and in good operation (this could save your life)
The Operational check
Get into the cabin using the correct technique (3 points of contact from the left side)
Make sure the controls are in neutral and the handbrake is on
Insert the key and start the engine (as per operators manual)
Check that all the gauges and warning devices are working (horn, lights, reversing beeper, flashing light and any other devices) that are fitted to your forklift
Using the correct hydraulic levers raise the forks to the highest level and then lower, use your tilt lever and make sure you have full movement back and forth, same with side shift and any other levers that are on the forklift has full movement.
Move the forklift slowly and check that the brakes are working in both directions and that the handbrake is working and holds the forklift in place when forward gear is engaged.
Use a Pre shift check sheet!

2010 Toyota Venza V6
Recently, Tim Horton’s offered its Canadian customers the chance to win a Toyota Venza in the latest round of its "Roll Up The Rim To Win" contest. You know the drill: peel back the lip of your coffee cup and you could find yourself behind the wheel of Toyota’s newest crossover vehicle....apparently, 35 Venzas in total will be given away.
So what did you get if you were one of the lucky ones? I’m not sure, but it looks like a compact wagon with oversize wheels and tires, is available with all-wheel-drive, is manufactured in Kentucky, and built on the Camry platform.
There are two engine choices: a 2.7 litre four cylinder and a 3.5 litre V6, and you can choose from front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. My tester had the latter engine with FWD, but the former may be the largest in-line four-banger on the market these days. Normally, manufacturers run into all kinds of engineering issues when four cylinder engines get up into displacement this large....usually in the form of vibrations and harmonics. Big in-line four cylinder engines tend to rock and roll and often need internal counter-balancers to smooth everything out. I haven’t had the chance to drive the I-4 model yet, but I’d like to just to see how Toyota has dealt with this problem.
But back to the V6. This engine is used elsewhere in the company’s model line-up, and in this configuration, develops 268 horsepower. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission only, and features things like a transmission cooler, adaptive shifting, and a Hill-Start Assist Control. This last item prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when you’re stopped on a hill and has been used by Subaru for years, albeit in a slightly different form. It’s standard on all models. The adaptive shifting feature, meanwhile, will hold the transmission in a lower gear when climbing a hill under load as well as automatically dropping it down to a lower gear when descending. Also a common feature with many manufacturers these days, but welcome, just the same.
What struck me about this drivetrain was how lively it was. Despite its 1755 kilogram weight, the Venza is blessed with all kinds of snap and this engine redlines at 6200 rpm. Kick it down into passing gear and you’ve got a rocket on your hands, with maybe a titch in the way of torque steer when driven with enthusiasm. The V6 version can also tow up to 1587 kilograms and, like all Toyota V6 powerplants, is smooth, quiet, and civilized.
Reasonably high standard equipment level as well. For its just under $30, 000 base price, the V6 model comes with a climate control system, heated mirrors, tilt/telescoping steering, power adjustable driver seat, cruise control, power door locks, and a full tank of gas. All kinds of airbags to front, side, side curtain, and knee....front and back. Surprisingly, heated front seats are an option. My tester also had the "Premium" package, which includes a back-up camera, a decent-sized power sunroof, and power rear door.
The Venza seats five, and the back seats fold down 60/40 fashion, either via a couple of levers located on the sides of the rear cargo compartment or by pulling up on a lever on the sides of the seats themselves. Again, kind of cool and simplicity itself. So many vehicles of this stripe make you struggle when you want to open things up and I’m surprised someone hasn’t thought of this before. Full marks here.
In fact, there’s isn’t much to complain about inside, period. The shift lever is set halfway up the centre console and is easy to get at and quite usable. I was slightly surprised Toyota hasn’t installed a column shifter here, but it doesn’t seem to make much difference either way. A multi-information display is located atop the dash and it tells you things like outside temperature and whether or not one of the doors is ajar. You can also adjust the size of the display itself, which is kind of cool. After I had driven this car for awhile, it struck me how thoroughly Toyota has mastered the craft of making automobiles. I’m not sure the market needs a rig like the Venza, but either way, Toyota knows what customers want and gives it to them. In this case, I suppose the Venza is aimed at those folks who want a bit more room to carry stuff, but have had it with mini-vans and oversize SUVs.
Aside from the fact that the wheels look kind of freakishly large and the V6 is a little headstrong under hard acceleration, I can find little to complain about with the Venza. It’s easy to get in and out of, comfortable once you’ve settled in, reasonably roomy, and smooth in operation. Some may find the interior fittings a little on the bland side, but that’s not news. Toyota has always aimed for the middle ground and mainstream buyers; it knows its markets and the current economic downturn notwithstanding, has the numbers to prove it.

are XT shifters compatible with Hayes brakes?
Are shimano XT dual control shifters (w/ hydraulic brake levers) compatible with Hayes HMX Mag hydraulic disc brakes?
are there any dual control shifter that are compatible with these brakes?
do i have to use shimano brakes only with dually shifters?
Shimano sells the hydro brake levels and shifters separately, you're not forced to use the dual controls.
If you have the XT dual controls and hayes separately, you will need to decide on which one to ditch out. I have the Hayes HFX-9 on one bike, and on another some XT. The XT have better modulation and stopping power than the hayes, so probably take that into account on which component to ditch out.
You can get this LX lever from pricepoint for 145 bucks:
http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/13892-035_SHILB5-0-Search--/Shimano-LX-M585-Disc-Brake-Lever-Set---Hydraulic.htm
The shimano brakes without lever can be from 80 to 110 bucks each (depending if they are LX, Hone, XT or Saint). You need to add the hoses to consideration, and, generarily, Shimano sells the rotors in centerlock, so you might need to check if your wheels are centerlock or not (well, you're looking for a newer wheelset, you might take this into consideration), or buy the standard 6 bolt rotors separately (around 25 bucks each).
A friend told me that maybe I could use some Magura Marthas brakes with my dual controls, since they use the same type of oil as Shimano, but I'm not sure on this.
