6.9 Battery Charger
If an external mains powered battery charger is
installed in an AMF panel isolate it.
Stop and start the engine a few times if needed to
draw off the battery.
Start the engine and allow it to run for 5 minutes and
check that the engine’s battery charger is delivering at
least 13V DC into the battery.
If an external mains powered battery charger is
installed in an AMF panel check its operation.
6.10 Canopy
Check security of fixings and fasteners on the
machine.
Lubricate hinges and latches with light machine oil.
Ensure that the inlet and outlet louvers are kept clean
and unimpeded at all times.
Check that no sound insulation has become loose
and obstructed them.
The engine should be sucking in air from out side the
canopy. With the front panel removed, check the foam
seal is complete all around this compartment and air
can only be drawn from outside the set.
6.11 General Inspections
Air Filters are subject to the operating environment and
as such should be inspected daily, cleaned as required

regardless of operating hours.
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for more
details.

Fuel, Coolant, and Oil Leaks:
Look for excessive oil
in the base tray. Look for weeps from hoses and
connections.
Worn or Failed Anti Vibration Mounts:
When the
side panels are removed rock the engine and check all
four anti vibration mounts are flexing slightly and have
not failed or broken up.
Damaged or missing insulation and seals:
Generally look at the sound insulation and seals and
check it is still securely fitted and has not deteriorated.
Missing Safety Labels:
These labels are a mandatory
safety requirement and if any are missing or not easy
to read they should be replaced. Full details of all
labels are contained in this manual. A replacement
label kit is available.
Chaffing or Stretching of Cables:
Inspect all cables
and connections and look for obvious signs of wear or
damage.
Lifting Points:
Inspect the lifting points for obvious
signs of wear, damage or distortion.
Signs of Over Heating:
Look for obvious deterioration
due to heat and investigate the cause and rectify as
necessary.
