PRE-START INSPECTION
Prior to each days operation, the operator shall check for defects using the Pre-Start Inspection list.
GRAVITY LEVELED BUCKET LOCK
The bucket is gravity leveled and hydraulically dampened, with a positive bucket-locking knob that prevents swinging of the
bucket after it has been placed in a working position. This locking mechanism is located inside the bucket to the operator's right
when facing the platform control station. To lock the bucket, turn the locking knob CW until tight. To release the bucket lock,
rotate knob CCW.
BUCKET OPERATION
After the trailer has been properly parked and outriggers properly extended and set, disconnect the boom tie-down strap and turn
the key switch to “ENABLE”
(remember the 5-second timeout on startup).
The green light on the Lower Control Station will
be lit. Using the Lower Control Station, raise the lower boom (raising the lower boom will bring the bucket down) until the bucket
is about a foot off the ground. Check to make sure that the bucket is properly installed. Check both bucket-yoke lock pins to
insure they are positioned in the holes, and the bucket yoke is securely locked to the boom.
IMPORTANT: A body harness with a 6 ft. lanyard (p/n: 532053) is furnished with each machine. DO NOT use a body
harness unless it is designed to meet the appropriate standards and has a 6 ft. lanyard - NO EXCEPTIONS!
Put on the body harness and enter the bucket. Attach the hook to the "D" ring on the underside of the boom.
