Turn the handle clockwise until the load is positioned at a comfortable height;
Rest the handle on the winch mounting bracket; and
Remove the load.

RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE “RECORD”)
Record the condition of the hand truck before putting it into service. Thoroughly photograph the unit
from multiple angles so that all operating mechanisms are clearly visible. Take close range photographs of
the labeling applied to the truck. Raise and lower the deck. Describe the operation of the winch.
Describe sounds heard as the deck rises and descends. How much effort is required to turn the winch?
Apply the brake and/or floor lock (if equipped). Photograph the brake and/or lock. Try to move the truck
with the brake applied and describe how the brake resists movement. Collect all photographs and
writings in a single file. Give the file a name that clearly identifies it. This file is a record of the unit in
satisfactory condition. Compare the findings of all inspections to the record to determine whether the
truck is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint/powder coat are not
changes from satisfactory condition. However, touch-up paint to be applied to all affected areas as soon
as damage occurs.
