It is the responsibility of the operator, prior to each
work shift, to perform the following:
1. Visual and daily maintenance inspections
▪
designed to discover any damage of
components before the MEWP is put into
service.
▪
done before the operator performs the function
tests.
WARNING
Failure to locate and repair damage, and discover
loose or missing parts may result in an unsafe
operating condition.
2. Function tests
▪
designed to discover any malfunctions before
the MEWP is put into service.
IMPORTANT
The operator must understand and follow the step-
by-step instructions to test all MEWP functions.
The operator should make a copy of the Operator’s

maintenance inspections, and function tests again.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall only be
performed by a qualified/competent person.
