PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION 

 
 

The 

CONDITION

 of the unit prior to start-up is a very 

IMPORTANT

 factor as it directly 

affects the operator’s safety as well as those around him.  It should be a common practice 
that the operator performs a general inspection of the 

REED 00 MODEL C50SS

 before 

each day’s operation. 
 
The purpose of the operator’s inspection is to keep the equipment in 

PROPER

 working 

condition and to 

DETECT

 any sign of malfunction during normal operations between 

scheduled maintenance checks. 
 

DOWNTIME

 is 

COSTLY

 and can possibly be prevented by taking a few minutes prior to 

start-up to do a thorough walk-around inspection.  This inspection must be performed each 
day before the unit is operated.  Report any damage or faulty operation immediately.  
Attach a sign, if need be, at the control panel which states ------ 

DO NOT OPERATE

 ------.  

Repair any discrepancies before use. 
 
Some major items to be considered for your inspection include the following: 

 
 

1. OVERALL 

MACHINE 

CONDITION

 

 

 

External structural damage 

 

 

Wheel lug nuts missing or loose 

 

 

Brake line wiring, connection 

 

 

Condition of tires, pits, tears, cuts, inflation 

 

 

Decals, placards, warning signs 

 

 

Missing, broken or damaged parts 

 

 

Remote switch & cable condition 

 

 

Gauges, Throttle control 

 
 

2. HYDRAULIC 

SYSTEM

 

 

 

Loose or damaged hoses, tubing, fittings 

 

 Hydraulic 

leaks
