2.4 DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION
It is the user/operator’s responsibility to inspect the
machine before the start of each work day. It is recom-
mended that each user/operator inspect the machine
before operation, even if the machine has already been
put into service under another user/operator. This Daily
Walk-Around Inspection is the preferred method of inspec-
tion.
General
Begin the “Walk-Around Inspection” at item one listed fol-
lowing. Continue around machine checking each item in
sequence for the conditions listed in the “Walk-Around
Inspection Check list”.
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE UNTIL ALL MAL-
FUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC-
TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, BE SURE MACHINE POWER IS
“OFF” DURING “WALK-AROUND INSPECTION”.
