3.10 Preventative Maintenance Inspections
Regular preventative maintenance inspections (PMIs) should be carried out on the
Dumpmaster. This helps ensure operator safety and extend the service life of the machine.
The Dumpmaster PMI schedule is divided into three parts: weekly, monthly and annual
inspections. The relevant procedures and logs are provided in the following section.
In the United Kingdom, the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998
specifies that Preventative Maintenance Inspections be carried out on all workplace
lifting equipment. These are sometimes known as LOLER checks. The following schedules
and logs may be used to demonstrate conformance with UK LOLER regulations.
Operators should immediately stop using the MegaDumper and request an inspection if
any abnormal operation, fault, or failure is observed.
