boom assembly to a maximum upright position, and
then fully extend the inner boom. Next, lower the
outer/inner boom assembly to a position slightly below
horizontal, and then retract the inner boom.
Extension and retraction of the inner boom should
be smooth. Also, listen for any abnormal noises while
extending and retracting, which could indicate a
potential problem and warrant further inspection of
the extension system. Check the roller chain tension
and adjust according to the instructions given in
Service Procedures Section of the Service Manual.
LEVELING SYSTEM - Inspect the master cylinder,
slave cylinder, hoses, and fittings for damage, wear,
or foreign objects which may prevent proper
operation. Refer to Parts & Assemblies Section of
the Service Manual for these components. Also
inspect the protective fiberglass covers, on each side
of the slave cylinder, for cracks or damage. If these
conditions exist they must be repaired by qualified
personnel before operation.
DECALS - Identification, operational, and
instructional decals are installed at numerous
locations on the
Versalift . These decals must be
replaced if they become lost, damaged, or illegible.
Refer to the “Decal Placement” illustration in this
section.
FIBERGLASS BOOMS - Inspect the fiberglass upper
boom and the lower boom insert for an accumulation
of dirt that can impair the insulating value of the
fiberglass. The fiberglass outer surface of the booms
should be cleaned daily with a lint free cloth. If the
fiberglass sections require a more thorough cleaning,
refer to Service Procedure Section, “Care of
Fiberglass Booms” of the Service Manual. Check
for any structural damage in the fiberglass, such as
cracks or gouges. If these conditions exist, they must
be repaired by qualified personnel.
If the unit is equipped with sealed inner boom
(
optional
), visually inspect the desiccant canister.
The desiccant should be blue. If the desiccant is
pink or in doubt, have the desiccant replaced or
serviced.
ROPE - Make a thorough check of the winch rope
for abrasive wear, pulled strands, cuts, and other
defects. The rope should be clean and dry. The
rope coils should spool evenly on the winch reel. Do
not use a rope that has been subjected to shock
loads. Replace the winch rope at the first sign of
damage or deterioration. Use only non-conductive
rope of the size and type specified.
WINCH - Verify that the rope coils are spooling evenly.
Check for hydraulic leaks as well as leaks from the
winch drive gearbox.
PLATFORM - Inspect the platform for cracks in the
mounting ribs, floor, and flange around the top. If
these conditions exist they must be repaired by
qualified personnel before operation.
SLOPE INDICATORS - The indicators are installed
at several locations on the Versalift chassis. Check
that indicators are in place and not damaged. Refer
to slope indicator installation in the Service Manual.
SAFETY DEVICES - Check visual and audible safety
devices for proper operation.
COVERS - Inspect all covers to make sure they are in
place, secure, and in good condition.
