Daily Maintenance
The following maintenance should be done daily.
1) Inspect the Manuals and Decals
Keeping the operator’s manual in good condition is essential to safe machine operation. A operator’s
manual is included with each machine. 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’s manual is present and complete in the storage container
on the platform.
Examine the pages of the manual to be sure that they are legible and in good condition.
Result:
The operator’s manual is appropriate for the machine and the manual is legible and
in good condition.
Result:
The operator’s manual is not appropriate for the machine or the manual is not in
good condition or is illegible. Remove the machine from service until the manual is replaced.
Open the operator’s manual to the decals inspection section. Carefully and thoroughly inspect all
decals on the machine for legibility and damage.
Result:
The machine is equipped with all required decals, and all decals are legible and in
good condition.
Result:
The machine is not equipped with all required decals, or one or more decals are
illegible or in poor condition. Remove the machine from service until the decals are replaced.
Always return the manual to the storage container after use.
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 for your machine.
3) Perform Function Tests
Completing the function tests is essential to safe machine operation. Function tests are designed
to discover any malfunctions before the machine is put into service. A malfunctioning machine must
never be used. If malfunctions are discovered, the machine must be tagged and removed from
service.
Complete information to perform this procedure is available in the appropriate operator’s manual.
