RECOMMENDED DAILY PRE-TRIP INSPECTION
WARNING
Using a lift that is damaged or improperly serviced, can put the operator and bystanders at great risk of serious bodily injury
and death.
To avoid this risk, inspect the lift prior to the first use of each day. Ensure that all safety systems and all functions operate
correctly, and that no maintenance or repair is required.
If any unsafe condition exists or unusual noises or movements are noticed, DO NOT use the lift and contact an authorized
DHOLLANDIA agent. [see Notice].
DO NOT cover up any accidents or damage; it can be dangerous to you, your co-workers, and other persons.
NOTICE
Authorized DHOLLANDIA service agents may be found at www.dhollandia.com or by calling your regional DHOLLANDIA distributor.

Before operating the lift, the operator must conduct the following daily pre-trip inspection. Use caution: stay clear of the
area directly behind and underneath the platform while conducting the daily pre-trip inspection.
Prior to opening the doors, make sure that the lift has not lost its hydraulic pressure and is not leaning against the doors.
When opening the doors and deploying the platform, ALWAYS stand clear of the range of motion of the platform!
Replace missing, worn or illegible warning decals immediately. See page 3 for contact info.
Make sure the cabin switch and / or main battery disconnect switch on the power pack switch on and off accordingly.
Make sure the battery is fully charged, the main fuse is in good condition, and battery terminal connections are corrosion-
free and tight.
Check the overall condition of the wander lead with spiral cable, its buttons and emergency stop (if so equipped). Confirm
that all buttons swiftly return to the neutral position after releasing them. When engaging the emergency stop (if so
equipped), all movements should be interrupted. It should not be able to re-initiate any movements as long as the
emergency stop has not been reset.
Check the overall condition of the cables entering the various control units and the cables to the power pack. Make sure
cables are not chafed, lose or damaged.
Ensure the cover of the power pack is properly installed and secured.
Press STOW to pressurize the platform in the travel position. If the platform is actually closing, check if it remains closed
and doesn’t creep open again.
Check the power pack, the lift frame and lift arms for visible oil leaks.
Follow the instructions in section 8 from page 27 onwards to deploy the platform and continue the checks:
Visually inspect the general condition of the lift frame and lift arms. Look for cracks or deformations in the material and
welds.
Make sure all pivot pins in the lift frame, lift arms and platform are properly locked and secured.
Visually inspect the general condition of the platform. Look for cracks or deformations in the material and welds.
Verify and make sure the flashing platform lights are working OK.
Inspect the automatic bridge plate at the inboard platform edge. Look for cracks or deformations in the material and welds.
Test it. Make sure the bridge plate tilts progressively down towards the vehicle floor as the platform goes up, and vice
versa. At the highest platform position, make sure the bridge plate provides a smooth and safe passage between the
platform and the vehicle floor.
Inspect the roll stop at the outboard platform edge. Look for cracks or deformations in the material and welds. Test it. Make
sure the roll stop tilts down as the platform touches the ground. Make sure the roll stop tilts up and gets locked in the upright
position as the platform lifts off the ground.
