Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-operation inspection and
routine maintenance.
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior
to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a
machine before the operator performs the function tests.
The pre-operation inspection also serves to determine if routine maintenance
procedures are required. Only routine maintenance items specified in this manual
may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each of the items and locations for
modifications, damage or loose or missing parts.
A damaged or modified machine must never be used. If damage or any variation
from factory delivered condition is discovered, the machine must be tagged and
removed from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a qualified service technician,
according to the manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are completed, the
operator must perform a pre-operation inspection again before going on to the
function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be performed by qualified service
technicians, according to the manufacturer's specifications.
