dures in the Control of Hazardous Energy section of
this service manual.
Checking the brake for wear
1. Raise and block the mast high enough to access
the brakes. See SAFETY / Control of Hazardous
Energy / Lifting and Blocking section in the service
and parts manual.
2. Turn off the lift truck.
3. Put the chocks against the wheels.
4. Disconnect the battery. See the Control of Hazard-
ous Energy section and lockout and tagout the lift
truck.
5. Lockout/tagout the lift truck. See the SAFETY / 1
