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.

TO AVOID INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC-

tion and security, both visually and manually. Switch

Switch must be released to start engine and
depressed to operate machine.

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.

viced. Refer to Table 2-1, Lubrication Chart, for spe-
cific requirements.
