SECTION 2 - PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
3120860 – JLG Lift – 2-5
2. Check control switches and levers for damage,
loose or missing parts and security. Assure that lever
and lever lock functions properly.
3. Check control switches, levers and electrical con-
nections for tightness and evidence of corrosion,
and wiring for defects and chafing damage. Assure
that switches function properly.
4. Check footswitch for damage, loose or missing parts
and security. Assure that footswitch functions prop-
erly and that wiring has no defects or chafing.
5. Check (35/n35/40/n40/40 electric) Platform Rotator
mechanism for proper operation, damage, security
and lubrication. Check hydraulic rotator reservoir for
leakage, damage and security.
NOTE: Check all DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and
INSTRUCTION placards for legibility and security on
the entire machine.
TO AVOID INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IF ALL PLAC-
ARDS ARE NOT ON MACHINE OR ARE DEFACED AND NOT
READABLE. USE OF MACHINE WITHOUT CORRECT PLACARDS
IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
2.4 DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION.
(SEE FIGURE 2-3)
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.
