2.4 FUNCTION CHECK
The function check of all systems should be performed in an area
free of overhead and ground level obstructions. Perform a function
check as follows:
1.
Set-up machine for operation, according to instructions
in Section 3.
2.
Enter platform, raise and lower platform 2 ft. to 3 ft.
(.61m to .92m)
several times. Check for smooth eleva-
tion and lowering of platform.
3.
With platform completely lowered, check hydraulic oil
level in reservoir at ground control station. Maintain an
oil level to the "Fill to Line" indicator on the side of the
reservoir. NEVER USE HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID.
2.5 DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION
It is the user/operator’s responsibility to inspect the machine
before the start of each workday. It is recommended that each
user/operator inspect the machine before operation, even if the
machine has already been put into service under another user/
operator. This Daily Walk-Around Inspection is the preferred
method of inspection.
General
Begin the “Walk-Around Inspection”
at item 1
listed following. Continue around machine checking each item in
sequence for the conditions listed in the “Walk-Around Inspection
Check list”.
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE UNTIL ALL MALFUNCTIONS
HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNCTIONING MACHINE IS A
SAFETY VIOLATION.
TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, BE SURE MACHINE POWER IS “OFF” DUR-
ING “WALK-AROUND INSPECTION”.
NOTE:
Do not overlook visual inspection of chassis underside.
Checking this area often results in discovery of conditions
which could cause extensive machine damage.
