CHAPTER 2: Preventative Maintenance
2.1 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is the key to smoothly operating equipment, as well as keeping the user’s liability
to a minimum. Equipment needs to be inspected at regular intervals. Defective components must be
replaced immediately. Improperly working equipment must be kept out of use until it is repaired. Ensure that
any person(s) making adjustments or performing maintenance or repair of any kind is qualified to do so.
