Question #168
The service brake should be checked by driving the forklift truck and braking:
Hamulec zasadniczy należy sprawdzać jadąc wózkiem podnośnikowym i hamując:
a
while travelling forwards
do przodu
b
while travelling backwards
do tyłu
c
in both directions
w obu kierunkach
Correct answer
d
the brake is checked only by the maintenance technician
hamulec sprawdza tylko konserwator
Why?
The service brake (hamulec zasadniczy) must be checked while travelling forwards and backwards at low speed in a safe area. Testing only one direction is incomplete because the forklift truck operates in both directions.
