Daily checks
It is essential to carry out daily checks on the BoSS X-Series machine
to ensure its safe condition of use including the following as a
minimum:
Hydraulic oil leaks by visual inspection of the floor around the
chassis and by feeling underneath the chassis drawer outer casing.
Visible loose electrical fittings and switches by visual inspection.
Visible chafed hydraulic hose or electrical cables by visual
inspection.
Condition of castors, tyres and brakes by visual inspection.
Structure – guardrails, platform, scissors and chassis (e.g. cracks,
corrosion, abrasions, cracked welds, loose fixings, general damage
etc).
Visual inspection of castellated scissor nuts and locking pins.
Obscured, dirty or damaged instruction labelling and plates.
Emergency stop function activated on the handset.
Emergency stop function activated on the chassis.
Emergency lowering of the platform (see page 19).
Raise and lower functions including the 3 second descent delay
(the raise and lower functions can be tested by removing the
handset controller from its mount on the work platform and using
the controls whilst at ground level).
Without the swivel castor brakes applied and on a level surface,
raise the platform until the auto fixed castor brakes are engaged.
Then push the machine from the left and right side of the gate end
of the machine to ensure the brakes are functioning.
Switch on the power and ensure that the tilt sensor alarm sounds
to confirm operation. Also check that the battery is fully charged.
If the above daily pre-use checks reveal malfunctions or damage on the
machine, then it must not be used until the problem is rectified by an
accredited maintenance engineer. If in doubt, seek further assistance by
contacting the manufacturer. If instruction labels or plates are no longer
legible or missing, contact the manufacturer for replacements. The Daily
Checks page in Section 6.5 of this user guide may be photocopied or are
available to download from our website at

to
provide an aide memoire for operators when undertaking these essential
checks.
