Inspections and Operations
Check Fuel Level
Fuel is flammable and may cause serious
injury or death. Shut off the engine,
extinguish all open flames, and do not
smoke while filling the tank. Always wipe
any spilled fuel.
Check fuel level on the fuel level gauge, located
on the roller dashboard. Refill the tank when the
indicator needle moves to below 1/4 tank. Refer to
the maintenance procedures in
Section 7 - Maintenance
. Select the proper
grade of fuel oil in accordance with the
instructions given in the
Lubrication Table
in
Section 7 - Maintenance
.
Maintain fuel tank(s) at a high level to minimize
water condensation inside the tank(s). This is best
accomplished by filling the fuel tanks at the end of
each shift or day. Check the fuel tank for possible
leaks. Because of the potential fire hazard, leaks
must be corrected as soon as they are spotted.
1. Check the fuel level by reading the fuel level
gauge.
2. Do not allow fuel tank to get emptied,
otherwise the entire fuel system will require
bleeding.
3. If the fuel level is low, add clean-filtered fuel.
4. Fill the tank with the correct grade of fuel.
Refer to
Lubrication Table
for more fuel
details.
Check Batteries
Batteries contain an acid and can cause
injury. Battery fumes can ignite and
explode. Do not smoke when observing
battery fluid level. Skin and eye contact
with battery fluid can cause injury. Avoid
skin and eye contact with battery fluid. If
contact occurs, flush area immediately
with water.
Check the battery posts and cables for corrosion.
Check and keep the electrolyte levels above the
battery plates or to the bottom of the fill holes.
Refer to
Section 7 - Maintenance
for the correct
procedures.
Verify the Controls
Before starting the roller, check that the Warning
lights, Backup alarm, Horn and Emergency stop
controls are functioning properly. This inspection
should be performed before each shift and at
every startup.
If any controls, instruments, or devices do
not function correctly, report the defects
to the proper personnel. Defects must be
corrected before starting and operating
the roller.
