13. Safety Rules Regarding Inspection
13.1
It is imperative that your boom, outriggers, and other structural
members be inspected by a certified boom inspector on a regular basis. The results
should be documented carefully and a record kept. Consult the manufacturers rec-
ommendations for the proper interval for your machine.
13.2
Visually inspect your unit each day before it is put into opera-
tion. If any problem is found that will affect the safe operation of the pump, don’t
use the pump until it is repaired!
13.3
Any structural problem found on the placing boom, outriggers,
or tower section of the unit should be reported to the manufacturer so that proper
repair procedures can be designed and implemented.
13.4
If safety decals are faded, missing, damaged, or otherwise
unreadable, they must be replaced immediately. Contact the manufacturer of your
unit to obtain replacements.
13.5
If safety devices or guards are removed for inspection pur-
poses, they must be replaced before someone uses the machine.
13.6
Pay attention to the operation manual and manufacturer’s ser-
vice bulletins regarding maintenance and inspection procedures and intervals.
13.7
If structural inspection reveals something that looks wrong, or
even suspicious, report it to the manufacturer for consideration. Don’t just assume
that it’s okay.
13.8
Inspect the tip hose safety cable and mounting hardware on a
regular basis. Replace it if it becomes old, frayed, or rusted.
13.9
Inspect the boom tie-down and boom rest assemblies regularly
(if your unit is so equipped). The boom must not be allowed to bounce during
travel.
13.10
Visual inspection of the concrete pump circuits and safety
devices should be done daily. Hands-on inspection and documentation of results
should be done weekly, or at least when preventive maintenance is scheduled.
