Section 5-7
D12. Inspect Hoses and Fittings for Leaks
1. Look for loose or disconnected hoses. An oil spot below
the machine is a good indication of a loose hose or
hydraulic component.
2. Make certain shut-off valve on suction strainer is OPEN.
Opening valve can often correct what appears to be a
malfunction.
3. Inspect all vital hose connections, especially at main
pump and the main pump hose connection at the
manifold.
4. Look for cover damage and/or indications of twisted,
worn, crimped, brittle, cracked, or leaking hoses.
Hoses with their outer cover worn through or otherwise
damages should be considered unfit for further
service.
D15. Inspect Electrical Connections/Harnesses for Tightness
Daily inspection of the harnesses connected to the
controllers, operator control boxes (both left and right
control boxes), footswitches, and logic box are required.
Harnesses that may not have proper connection could
cause problems in starting and stopping the machine.
D16. Fill Fuel Tank (End of Day)
Refill the tank at the end of each days’ operation to prevent
condensation from contaminating the fuel.
Inspect the fuel level on a daily basis (or every 10 hours of
operation) by reading the sight gauge on the side of the
reservoir. Use Diesel fuel only.
