• Base Weldment
-
Ensure there are no visible cracks in
welds or structure and there are no signs
of deformation.
• Wheel/Tire Assembly
The MEWP is either equipped with air tires
or foam-filled tires. Tire and/or wheel failure
could result in an MEWP tipover. Component
damage may also result if problems are not
discovered and repaired in a timely fashion.
WARNING
Air filled tires are not permitted on some
models. Refer to Table 4.2 .
WARNING
An over-inflated tire can explode and
may cause death or serious injury.
-
Check all tire treads and sidewalls for
cuts, cracks, punctures and unusual
wear.
-
Check each wheel for damage and
cracked welds.
-
Check each lug nut for proper torque to
ensure none are loose.
-
Check wheel motor assembly for loose
or missing parts and signs of visible
damage (If equipped).
-
Ensure wheels are aligned and true
vertically and horizontally.
To safeguard maximum stability, achieve optimum
MEWP handling and minimize tire wear, it is
essential to maintain proper pressure in all air-
filled tires.
-
Check each tire with an air pressure gauge
and add air as needed.
Refer to Table 4.2 for wheel/tire specifications.
WARNING
Intermixing tires of different types
or using tires of types other than
those originally supplied with this
equipment can adversely affect stability.
Therefore, replace tires only with the
exact Skyjack-approved type. Failure to
operate with matched approved tires in
good condition may result in death or
serious injury.
