2.4 DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION
It is the operators responsibility to inspect the machine
before the start of each workday. It is recommended that
each operator inspect the machine before operation, even
if the machine has already been put into service under
another operator. This Daily Walk-Around Inspection is the
preferred method of inspection. (Figure 2- 3)
In addition to the Daily-Walk Around Inspection be sure to
include the following as part of the daily inspection:
1. Overall Cleanliness.
Check all standing surfaces for hydraulic oil spillage
and foreign objects. Ensure overall cleanliness.
2. Placards.
Keep all information and operating placards clean
and unobstructed. Cover when spray painting or
shot blasting to protect legibility.
3. Operators and Safety Manual.
Ensure that a copy of this manual is enclosed in the
manual storage holder.
4. Machine Log.
Ensure a machine operating record or log is kept,
check to see that it is current and that no entries
have been left uncleared, leaving machine in an
unsafe condition for operation.
5. Start each day with fully charged batteries.
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC-
TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
NOTE: Check boom limit switches on upright for proper
operation and security, both visually and manually.
Lower switch cuts out drive speed when Lower
Boom is above horizontal. Upper switch cuts out
drive speed when Upper Boom is above horizontal.
Only creep drive speed will continue to function.
6. Check platform footswitch for proper operation.
Switch must be depressed to operate machine.
7. Check that drive brakes hold when machine is
driven up a grade and stopped.
NOTE: On new machines, those recently overhauled, or
after changing hydraulic oil, operate all systems a
minimum of two complete cycles and recheck oil
level in reservoir.
8. Assure that all items requiring lubrication are ser-
viced. Refer to Lubrication Chart, Figure 2-4, for spe-
cific requirements.
2.5 DAILY FUNCTIONAL CHECK
A functional check of all systems should be performed,
once the walk-around inspection is complete, in an area
free of overhead and ground level obstructions. First,
using the ground controls, check all functions controlled
by the ground controls. Next, using the platform controls,
check all functions controlled by the platform controls.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IF ANY
CONTROL LEVERS OR TOGGLE SWITCHES CONTROLLING
PLATFORM MOVEMENTS DO NOT RETURN TO THE OFF POSI-
TION WHEN RELEASED.
TO AVOID A COLLISION AND INJURY IF PLATFORM DOES NOT
STOP WHEN A CONTROL SWITCH OR LEVER IS RELEASED,
REMOVE FOOT FROM FOOTSWITCH OR USE EMERGENCY STOP
TO STOP MACHINE.
1. Check boom limit switches. Raise and lower the
Lower Boom. Check for smooth operation. Check
Boom Upright tilting. (See Section 4).
NOTE: Perform checks from ground controls first, then from
platform controls.
