SECTION 2 - PRE-OPERATION AND INSPECTION
2.1 PRE-OPERATION CHECK AND INSPECTION
Note: Complete all required maintenance before operating unit.
The pre-operation check & inspection, performed at beginning of each work shift or at
each change of operator, should include the following:
1. Cleanliness - Check all surfaces for leakage (oil, fuel or battery fluid) or foreign
objects. Report any leakage to the proper maintenance personnel.
2. Structure - Inspect the machine structure for dents, damage, weld or parent metal
cracks or other discrepancies.
3. Safety Decals - Ensure all safety decals are legible and in place. Clean or replace as
required. See page 2-4 for details.
4. Operation and Safety Manuals - Operation & Safety Manual and AEM Safety
Manual (ANSI only) are located in cab manual holder.
5. Walk-Around Inspection - See page 2-10 for details.
6. Fluid Levels - Check fluids, including fuel, brake fluid, hydraulic oil, engine oil and
coolant. When adding fluids, refer to Section 7 - Lubrication and Maintenance and
Section 9 - Specifications to determine proper type and intervals. Before removing
filler caps or fill plugs, wipe all dirt and grease away from the ports. If dirt enters these
ports, it can severely reduce component life.

telehandler. If provided, reference the Operation & Safety Manual of each attachment
or accessory installed for specific inspection, operation and maintenance
instructions.
