Hydraulic fluid leaks are easily visible on the ground.
Check under the chassis for fluid that has leaked.
Tires and Wheels
Visually inspect the tires and wheels (refer to Figure
7.9) to make sure they are suitable for service. Check
the wheel lug nuts to see that none are missing, dam-
aged or loose.
Figure 7.9 – Tires and Wheels
The aerial platform has foam filled tires. Foam filled tires
do not have a pressure decal or a valve core.
Inspect for large holes or cuts where foam is coming
out of the tire. Look for large imbedded objects, such
as angle iron, that can rip a tire open.
Punctures caused by bolts, screws or nails are not a
problem for foam filled tires.
Lower Control Station
With no personnel in the platform, test the operation
of each control from the lower controls (refer to Figure
7.0).
Figure 7.10 – Lower Controls
Operating Controls
Use the following procedure to operate the machine
from the lower controls.
. Turn the battery disconnect switch on.
2. At the lower controls, pull the emergency stop button
outward. Insert the key in the control selector switch
and turn the switch to the lower control position.
3. Press the start button until the engine starts, then
release.
4. Let the engine warm to operating temperature.
5. Hold the ground operation switch upward.
A Danger
Pinch points may exist between moving com-
ponents. Death or serious injury will result from
becoming trapped between components, build-
ings, structures, or other obstacles. Make sure all
personnel stand clear of the aerial platform while
performing the prestart inspection.
6. Test the operation of each function in both direc-
tions.
Note
When checking the turntable rotation function in the
clockwise direction, the turntable will rotate toward
you.
