SECTION 2 - PRE-OPERATION AND INSPECTION
2.1 PRE-OPERATION CHECK AND INSPECTION
Note : Complete all required maintenance before operating unit.
FALL HAZARD. Use extreme caution when checking items beyond your normal
reach. Use an approved ladder.
The pre-operation check and inspection, performed at beginning of each work shift
or at each change of operator, should include the following:
1.
Cleanliness
- Check all surfaces for any leakage (oil, fuel or battery fluid) or
foreign objects. Report any leakage to the proper maintenance personnel.
2. Structure - Inspect the vehicle structure for dents, damage, weld or parent metal
cracks or other discrepancies.
3. Safety Decals Placards - Ensure all safety decals are legible and in place. Clean
or replace as required. See page 2-2 for details.
4. Operation and Safety Manual(s) - Operation & Safety Manual(s) are in cab.
5. Walk-Around Inspection - See page 2-4 for details.
6. Fluid Levels - Check all fluids, including hydraulic oil, and winch gear case
oil. When adding fluids, refer to Section 6 - Maintenance and Lubrication and
Section 7 - 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.
7.
Attachments/Accessories
- Inspect all attachments for dents, damage, weld or
parent metal cracks or other discrepancies. Inspect tie-down straps for cuts, frays
or tears. Inspect chains for weld or parent metal cracks or other discrepancies.
8. Operational Check - Once the walk-around inspection is complete, perform a
warm-up and operational check (see page 2-8) of all systems in an area free of
overhead and ground level obstructions. See Section 3 - Controls and Indicators
for more specific operating instructions.
If the vehicle does not operate properly, immediately bring the vehicle to a stop,
and stop the engine. Determine cause and correct before continued use.
