SITE INSPECTION;

Always inspect / survey your job site for potential hazards; untamped earth fill, unlevel

  surfaces, overhead obstructions, overhead power lines, electrically charged conductors or wires, cables, etc.
  (see work safety below). Check for uneven terrain, obstructions, debris, holes, grades, etc. Make sure that the
  ground surface is capable of supporting the machine and any loads it may carry. Never operate lift on slopes
  exceeding 12.5 degrees. Make sure all bystanders are cleared from the work area. Cordon off area around
  the outriggers to keep personnel and other equipment away from it while it is in use. Use of safety fencing,
  barricade tapes, warning signs, flashing lights are strongly recommended around the outer work site. Be aware
  of potential hazards and what could happen.

SIMPLE SERVICE - MACHINE MAINTENANCE;

…on extended rentals (more than 1-day) or if conditions warranty, closer care maybe needed.

Daily Service Checks;

The following Maintenance procedures should be performed daily or before each

Operation. (see the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, pages; 26 - 29, for further instructions).

Hydraulic Fluid Level

; The oil level “sight gage” should be

Figure 4-2 Hydraulic Reservoir

“visually checked with the boom down and the trailer on

           a level surface. When looking at the lift from the trailer
           tongue end, the hydraulic reservoir will be on the left side
           of the machine. It will be located directly under the side
           cover. The hydraulic reservoir will be clearly marked and
           the sight gauge will be recognizable. It will be facing
           outward, located in the top left hand corner). The hydraulic
           oil level should be visible in but not above the sight gauge.
           If the hydraulic oil level is not visible to at least half way up

the sight gauge “contact TRC”… so that “we may correct”

the hydraulic fluid level

. “Never attempt” to add hydraulic

           fluid to this equipment.
           Battery Charging;

** (see the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, pages; 3-8).

            **   (recharging instructions are on page; 9 - of these instructions).
           The DC boom lift batteries should be recharged after each 8-hour work shift or more often if needed.
           When the lift is not in use, the batteries should be recharged at least once per week. The normal charge
              time is 10 to 12-hours. If the battery charge is extremely low, a full charge may take up to 24-hours.

WARNING;

Recharge the batteries in a “well ventilated” area only. Do not charge batteries near

fire, flame or other ignition sources. Batteries being charged may emit highly explosive hydrogen
gas. Failure to properly ventilate the charge gases may result in serious injury or death.

Weekly Service Checks;

Inspect all electrical wiring for cuts, loose terminals, broken wiring, chafing or

         corrosion. Inspect transport hitch components for damage. Inspect boom lift for missing, loose or damaged
         hardware. Inspect hydraulic system components; including pump, motor and cylinders for damage, leaks,
         loss of pressure or speed and unusual noise or vibration.
   3.

Monthly Service Checks;

Contact TRC.

MACHINE INSPECTION;

“Overall Visually inspection”

unit for damages or worn parts; check for cracked welds, trailer tongue,

hydraulic leaks, damaged wiring, loose wiring connectors, damaged outriggers, etc.
2

Decal Check;

verify that all decals are in position and in plain site. (refer to Manufacturer’s “Operator’s

Manual”, section 5 for decal locations). If any decals are missing or have been damaged, contact TRC

immediately.
3.

Controls and Indicators;

verify that controls and indicators at ground and platform control stations

operate properly. (as defined in the

Operator’s Manual, section 4).

              1. Lower outriggers to level the boom lift.
              2. Raise and extend all booms.
              3. Press emergency stop button.
              4. Verify that boom remains elevated and does not drift.
              5. Pull stop button and lower the boom.
              6. If either control station is unresponsive, contact TRC.
              7. If display panel

displays an error code, refer to (see the Manufacturer’s “Operation & Safety”

Manual, section 4, pages; 31-47), see Table 4-2 for error code definition and contact TRC.
4.

Basket and Outrigger Shoes;

                        1. All parts should be in place and free from damage
              2. Make sure these are free of mud, grease or any other slippery material to reduce possibility of
               slipping.
   5.

Wheels and Tires;

check air pressure (see the Manufacturer’s “Operator Manual”, maintenance, page; 26).

             This is best done prior to work day when the tires are cold, not hot (see Specs above, for the correct
               tire inflation pressure). Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum allowable pressure printed on the tire.
             Make sure there are no missing or loose lug nuts on each wheel. Inspect the wheel rims for damage.
               Never attempt any tire or wheel repairs, contact TRC where we may get a qualified tire mechanic to
             service the tires and rims of this machine. If problems during transportation should occur (flats, blow
               outs, etc.), contact TRC. Make sure any damaged tires on this equipment are saved for TRC inspection.
