PreView® Daily Maintenance
Detach this page and place with daily operator maintenance procedures.
Safety Message to Operators of Vehicles with PreView Systems
1. The PreView system is intended as an Object Detection System and should
not be relied upon as your first line of defense for the safe operation of the
vehicle. It should be used in conjunction with established safety programs and
procedures to augment the safe operation of the vehicle, ground personnel,
and adjacent property. Should the system become inoperative, it could
jeopardize the safety or lives of those who depend on the system for safety.
2. Testing and inspection of the system in accordance with these instructions
and record of the results should be listed on the daily maintenance report.
The units on operating vehicles must be tested each day prior to the vehicle’s
operation. Results of this test must be recorded in the maintenance log.
3. People operating this equipment MUST check for proper operation at the
beginning of every shift or safety inspection period.
4. People’s lives depend on the proper installation of this product in conformance
with these instructions. It is necessary to read, understand and follow all
instructions shipped with the product.
5. Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
6. The PreView Object Detection System is intended for commercial use. Proper
installation of a back-up aid requires a good understanding of truck electrical
systems and procedures, along with proficiency in the installation.
7. Store these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining
and/or reinstalling the product.
Testing and Maintenance
NOTE: A walk around test shall be performed every day to verify proper function
of the system and to familiarize the operator with the zone of detection. More
frequent inspections should be performed when:
• The vehicle is operating in a particularly dirty or harsh environment.
• The operator has reason to suspect the system has been damaged.
This test should be performed with two people, one who remains in the cab (the
operator), and one who walks through the sensor field at the rear of the vehicle
(the assistant).
1. Clean the sensor face of any accumulation of dirt, mud, snow, ice, or debris.
2. Visually inspect the attached wiring and verify that they are properly secured,
not chafing or dangling free where they could become snagged and damaged.
Inspect the Radar Sensor and Operator Display Module and verify that they
are securely attached to the vehicle.
3. Set the park brakes, start the vehicle, depress and hold the vehicle brake and
place the vehicle in reverse.
4. Verify the display is powered up and not indicating a detection.
5. The area to the rear of the vehicle should be clear of obstacles for a distance
of 8 meters. If the display is indicating a detection, then there are objects to
the rear of the machine that will interfere with the test. Move the machine to
a clear area and proceed.
1. The assistant should move to just behind the rear corner of the machine in
sight of the operator’s mirrors. He should then walk toward the centerline of
the machine parallel to the rear, while the operator notes when the display
indicates a detection.
