Potential service and safety problems may be detected
by inspecting the aerial platform. This chapter includes
information on properly inspecting the aerial platform and
includes a prestart inspection check list at the end of this
chapter to ensure that no areas are overlooked.
A
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when operat-
ing an aerial platform that is damaged or malfunction-
ing. Death or serious injury could result from such
accidents. Do not operate the aerial platform if it is
damaged or malfunctioning.
Perform a prestart inspection at the beginning of each
shift, before using the aerial platform on the job. The
inspection site must have a smooth and level surface.
Operator’s Manual
The manual holder is located at the front of the platform
(refer to Figure 7.1).
Figure 7.1 – Operator’s Manual Holder
To inspect the operator’s manual and manual holder:
1. Make certain the Operator’s Manual holder is se-
curely fastened in place.
2. Check to see that the proper Operator’s Manual is in
the holder.
3. Check to see that the manual is complete with all
pages intact and in readable condition.
4. Make certain ANSI publication “Manual of Respon-
sibilities for Dealers, Owners, Users, Operators,
Lessors and Lessees of ANSI/SIA A92.6–2006 Self-
Propelled Elevating Work Platforms” must also be in
the manual holder.
Engine
Visually inspect the engine and its components with the
engine off. The engine is located behind the doors on the
left side of the chassis.

Chapter 7 – Prestart Inspection
To inspect the engine:
1. Open the engine compartment doors and visually in-
spect the engine and its components with the engine
off.
2. Inspect the latch mechanisms to make certain they
are in good working condition to hold the engine cover
in place.
3. Make sure that the engine compartment doors are
fully closed and latched before operating the machine
after inspection or service.
Oil Level
The proper oil level is between the add and full marks
on the dipstick.
To inspect the oil level:
1. Make sure the engine has been off for at least five
minutes before checking the oil level. This will allow
time for the oil to drain to the pan for a more accurate
oil level reading.
2. Remove the dipstick and check to see that the oil
level is between the two marks.
3. If necessary, add oil before starting the engine.
Note
Refer to the engine manufacturers operations manuals
for the correct engine oil grade and weight.
Air Intake
Deutz engines are air cooled. Visually inspect the air
intake and fan (refer to Figure 7.2) to be sure they are
free of obstructions that could stop or slow the flow of
air. Inspect the fan belt to see that it is in place and not
cracked.

Fuel Tank
The fuel tank is translucent. The amount of fuel in the
tank can be gauged by opening the door on the front of
the machine (refer to Figure 7.3) and looking at the tank.
