Control Testing
Operators must test all controls (both lower and upper) to ensure they function properly. This includes testing movement controls, emergency stop buttons, and platform tilting mechanisms.
Brakes and Stabilizers
Ensure that brakes are functioning properly and that stabilizers or outriggers (if the lift is equipped with them) are deployed and working as designed. Outriggers prevent the lift from tipping over by providing additional support.
