6.1.1
Fundamentals
o
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-operation inspection and routine
maintenance.
o
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.
o
The pre-operation inspection is also used to determine if routine maintenance procedures are
required. Only routine maintenance items specified in this Operator’s Manual may be performed
by the operator.
o
Refer to the list in Inspection on paqe 20-21 and check each of the items and locations for
modifications, damage or loose or missing parts.
o
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.
o
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 performing the function tests.
