WELDS

  -  Refer  to  the  “Critical  Welds”  drawing  in 

this section.  All the welds should be inspected for 
signs of fatigue.  Rust and hairline cracks on a weld 
indicate weld fatigue.  

HYDRAULIC  LINES

  -  Hydraulic  lines  should  be 

inspected for loose connections and frayed jackets.  
Carefully examine the hoses, especially any portion 
of hose subject to fl exing and particu larly the hoses 
at the platform.

OIL LEAKS

 - Oil leaking onto the truck fl oor or the 

ground is sign of an impending problem.  A hydraulic 
leak will create a slippery surface which is potentially 
hazardous.    Hydraulic  leaks   must  be  repaired  by 
qualifi ed  service  personnel  and  the  unit  must  be 
cleaned of excess hydraulic oil.  If a hydraulic leak 
is not repaired the oil in the reservoir will be depleted 
and pump damage may occur.
  

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

 - Inspect electrical system 

for damaged components.  Check for bare electrical 
wires and remove any trash or debris from around 
elctrical components.  Repair all damaged wires and 
secure any loose electrical components or wires.

VEHICLE TIRES

 - Check tires for the correct infl ation 

and for damage.  Low pressure or damaged tires are 
unsafe while driving the vehicle or operating the lift.

LOOSE  OBJECTS

  -  Inspect  the  booms  for  loose 

objects (tools, spare parts, etc.) that might fall when 
the booms are elevated.

HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL

 - The hydraulic fl uid level 

can  be  easily  checked  by  monitoring  the  oil  level 
through the sight gages.  The two sight gages are 
mounted, one several inches above the other, on the 
pedestal. The hydraulic oil level should be just above 
the bottom of the  top sight gage at full capacity (12 
gallons or 45 liters)

CONTROLS

 - Operate all the lift controls through 

the  full  range  of  motion  to  verify  the  controls  are 
functioning properly.

LEVELING SYSTEM 

- Inspect the master cylinder, 

This  aerial  lift  is  designed  to  provide  years  of 
reliable  service  with  minimum  maintenance.   A 
routine  preventive  maintenance  program  will 
assure  extended  aerial  lift  service.    The  operator 
is responsible for detecting maintenance problems 
during  the  daily  visual  inspection,  reporting  the 
need  for  adjustments  or  repairs,  verifying  that 
maintenance is performed at the suggested intervals, 
and determining if the aerial lift is in a good, safe 
operating  condi tion.    The  importance  of  accurate 
maintenance records cannot be over emphasized.  
In order to judge the condition of the aerial lift, the 
operator needs to be familiar with the maintenance 
records of the aerial lift.  Refer to the “Maintenance 
Checklist”  in  Service  procedures  Section  of  the 
Service Manual for the suggested interval inspection 
information.  The actual repair or adjustment must 
be done by a qualifi ed aerial lift mechanic.

Every day the equipment must be given a thorough 
visual  inspec tion  to  detect  problems  before  they 
become serious.  During this inspection the operator 
shall look for anything out of the ordinary that might 
indicate a problem.  Particular attention must be paid 
to the following items.  The Daily Visual Inspection 
Checklist included in this section must be followed.

BOLTS

  -  Critical  fasteners  are  identifi ed  on  the 

“Critical  Fasteners”  drawing  in  this  section.   All 
major sections of the 

Versalift

 are bolted together 

and it is vital that these bolts remain tight.  Visually 
inspect all the bolts for signs of relative movement.   
Pay particular attention to the load supporting bolts 
(rotation bearing bolts, pedestal/subframe mounting 
bolts, platform rotator bolts).  Critical bolts are Torque-
Seal marked to provide a quick means of detecting 
any turning.  Do not use the lift if the Torque-Seal 
mark between the bolt head and mounting surface, 
are  not  in  alignment.    Refer  to  Maintenance  and 
Inspection Schedule in Service Procedures Section 
of  the  Service  Manual  for  recommended  torque 
procedures and torque chart specifi cations.  Refer to 
Figure 6.1 and 6.2 for Torque-Seal mark conditions.
