2.4 DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION
It is the user/operator’s responsibility to inspect the machine
before the start of each workday. It is recommended 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 inspection.

Continue around machine checking each item in sequence for the
conditions listed in the “Walk-Around Inspection Check list”.
