EP Equipment EP14-10A – Weekly Inspection Procedure
This structured weekly inspection procedure ensures battery health, electric system performance, and OSHA readiness across your EP14-10A fleet.
1. Battery System Inspection
- Perform battery load test and verify voltage stability under load
- Inspect terminals for corrosion and secure all connections
- Check electrolyte level and perform specific gravity test (if applicable)
- Confirm proper airflow in the battery compartment
- Review charging logs and charging curve analysis
2. Electric Drive System Evaluation
- Start electric motor and evaluate startup characteristics
- Check for abnormal noise or vibrations during operation
- Review motor temperature readings under working load
- Test regenerative braking functionality and current feedback
- Evaluate current draw during lifting and travel cycles
3. Hydraulic System Checks
- Test fluid levels, check for leaks, and inspect hoses
- Evaluate lift/tilt functions for smooth and responsive operation
- Inspect hydraulic filters for clogging or contamination
- Verify hydraulic cylinder stroke consistency
- Inspect hydraulic pump noise level and load cycle response
4. Structural & Safety Equipment Review
- Inspect forks for wear, cracks, and straightness
- Check mast rollers and chain lubrication
- Verify operator restraint system and overhead guard
- Test horn, backup alarm, and emergency stop functionality
- Inspect visibility of safety decals and capacity plates
5. Operational Function & Control Testing
- Test steering system for responsiveness and backlash
- Perform full travel, lift, tilt, and side-shift function test
- Check dashboard indicators and fault logs
- Verify operator controls are functioning correctly and ergonomically
- Assess tire condition and wheel alignment
