Fundamentals
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
This inspection is designed to discover if anything
is apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator tests it.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items.
If damage or any unauthorized 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 testing the
machine functions.
