- Are there large pieces of rubber missing or separated from the rim?
- Are there missing lugs?
- Is there bond separation that may cause slippage?
Battery Check
- Are the cell caps and terminal covers in place?
- Are the cables missing insulation?
Hydraulic Fluid - Check level?
Gauges - Are they all properly working?
Steering
- Is there excessive free play?
- If power steering, is the pump working?
Brakes
If pedal goes all the way to the floor when you apply the service brake, that is the first indicator that

the engine is hot. Stand to the side and turn your face away. Always use a glove or rag to protect
your hand.
Transmission Fluid - Check levels?
Windshield Wipers - Do they work properly?
Seat Belts - Do they work?
Safety Door - (found on stand up rider models) Is it in place?
Safety Switch - (found on stand up riding tow tractors) Is it working?

Are they in place?
Tow Hook
- Does it engage and release smoothly?
- Does the safety catch work properly?
Control Lever - Does the lever operate properly?
Safety Interlock - (found on order pickers) If the gate is open, does the vehicle run?
