Before operating the tail lift, the operator must conduct the following daily pre-trip inspection. Use caution: stay clear of the
area directly behind the platform while conducting the daily pre-trip inspection.
Replace missing, worn or illegible warning decals immediately. See page 3 for contact info.
Make sure the cabin switch and / or main battery disconnect switch in the control box switch on and off accordingly.
Make sure the battery is fully charged, the main fuse is in good condition, and battery terminal connections are corrosion-free
and tight.
Check the overall condition of the main external control box and its switches. Confirm that all switches (except the ON / OFF
cabin switch) swiftly return to the neutral position after releasing them.
Check the overall condition of the cables entering the various control units, and of the cables to the pump unit. Make sure
cables are not chafed, loose or damaged.
Ensure the cover of the pump unit is properly installed and secured.
Check the pump unit for visible oil leaks.
Follow the instructions in section 9.7 page 17 to open and lower the platform to the ground, and continue the checks:
Visually inspect the general condition of the lift frame, lift arms, and mounting plates to the vehicle chassis. Look for cracks
or deformation in the material and welds. Make sure the bolts of the mounting plates to the chassis are tightened.
Make sure all pivot pins are properly locked and secured.
Visually inspect the general condition of the platform. Look for cracks or deformation in the material and welds. If so equipped,
make sure the platform-mounted options function correctly (cart-stops, foot controls, flashing warning lights).
Check the overall condition of the auxiliary controls and their switches. Confirm that all switches swiftly return to the neutral
position after releasing them. In case of a handheld control with spiral cable, inspect the spiral cable for wear or damage.
Make sure safe operator position and center point of maximum load are clearly marked on the platform.
Make sure the platform surface is clean and can be accessed safely. Remove any snow, mud, dirt, debris, or slippery liquids.
Make sure you wear safety-toe shoes with a good non-slip sole.
Check the lift and tilt cylinders, their lock valves and fittings for visible oil leaks. Follow the hydraulic pipes and fittings to the
pump unit. Make sure all wires and hydraulic pipes are undamaged, not pinched or chafed anywhere, and adequately secured
with cable ties. Check for visible oil leaks.
WARNING
Using a tail lift that is damaged or improperly serviced can put the operator and bystanders at great risk of serious bodily injury
and death.
To avoid this risk, inspect the tail lift prior to the first use of each day. Ensure that all safety systems and all functions operate
correctly, and that no maintenance or repair is required.
If any unsafe condition exists or unusual noises or movements are noticed, DO NOT use the tail lift, and contact an authorized
DHOLLANDIA agent. [see Notice].
DO NOT cover up any accidents or damage; it can be dangerous to you, your co-workers, and other persons.
