The following Pre-Start Checks should be carried out before taking the machine to the
place of work.
1. Damaged or Loose Fittings.
Visually Inspect the machine for signs of wear and tear, damage, loose or missing parts.
2. Wheels. (For towing only)
Check tyres are at the correct pressure, 55 psi (3.8 bar) and that the wheel nuts are
tightened using the correct torque setting (100Nm).
3. Hydraulic fluid.
The hydraulic oil tank is located underneath the slew cover on the left hand side of the
machine (looking from the cage end).
With the booms and outriggers in the transport position, the hydraulic oil level should be
visible between the upper and lower marks of the dipstick.
Top up with ISO Grade 22 hydraulic oil if necessary.
4. Safety Switches.
Visually check the cage overload switch is free from damage.
Check all limit switch arms are free from damage and move easily .
With outriggers in transport position, it must not be possible to operate the extending
structure.
With outriggers deployed, under load and top or bottom boom raised approximately
50mm, it must NOT be possible to operate the outrigger controls.
5. Emergency Stop Switches.
Emergency stop switches must operate correctly. Check that each stops the machine’s
controls and that restarting is prevented until all stop switches are unlatched.
