Daily Inspections
Inspections that are to be performed every day or every 8 hours.
1 - Inspect the Manuals and Decals
Maintaining the operator’s manual in good condition is essential to safe machine operation. Manuals
are included with each machine and should be stored in the container provided in the platform. An
illegible or missing manual will not provide safety and operational information necessary for a safe
operating condition.
In addition, maintaining all of the safety and instructional decals in good condition is mandatory
for safe machine operation. Decals alert operators and personnel to the many possible hazards
associated with using this machine. They also provide users with operation and maintenance
information. An illegible decal will fail to alert personnel of a procedure or hazard and could result in
unsafe operating conditions.
Check to make sure that the operator manual is present and complete in the storage container
on the platform.

2 - Perform Pre-operation Inspection
Completing a Pre-operation Inspection is essential to safe machine operation. The Pre-operation
Inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior to each work shift. The inspection
is designed to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a machine before the operator performs
the function tests. The Pre-operation Inspection also serves to determine if routine maintenance
procedures are required.
Complete information to perform this procedure is available in the appropriate operator’s manual.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual on your machine.
