Note: Complete all required maintenance before operating unit.
The pre-operation check and inspection, performed at beginning of each work shift

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 2-3 for details.
4. Operation and Safety Manuals - Operation & Safety Manual and AEM Safety
Manual (as required) are located in cab manual holder.
5. Walk-Around Inspection - See page 2-6 for details.
6. Fluid Levels - Check fluids, including fuel, 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.

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