2.4 DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION
It is the user’s responsibility to inspect the machine before
the start of each workday. It is recommended that each
user inspect the machine before operation, even if the
machine has already been put into service under another
user. This Daily Walk-Around Inspection is the preferred
method of inspection.
In addition to the Daily Walk-Around Inspection, be sure to
include the following as part of the daily inspection:
Overall Cleanliness
Check all standing surfaces for oil, fuel and hydraulic oil
spillage and foreign objects. Ensure overall cleanliness.
Placards
Keep all information and operating placards clean and
unobstructed. Cover when spray painting or shot blasting
to protect legibility.
Operators, Service, and Parts Manual
Ensure a copy of this manual is enclosed in the manual
storage box.
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.
Daily Lubrication
For those items pointed out in the Daily Walk-Around
Inspection requiring daily lubrication, refer to the Lubrica-
tion Chart in Section 7 for specific requirements.
Perform the following checks and services before attempt-
ing to operate the machine.
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC-
TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
1. Start each day with a full fuel tank.
2. Ensure that all items requiring lubrication are ser-
viced in accordance with the Lubrication Chart in
Section 7.
3. Perform functional checks in accordance with para-
graph 2-5, Daily Functional Check.
2.5 DAILY FUNCTIONAL CHECK
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC-
TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
A functional check of all systems should be performed,
under no load, once the walk-around inspection is com-
plete, in an area free of overhead and ground level
obstructions. Perform pre-load functional check in accor-
dance with the following procedure:
1. Raise and lower platform several times. Check for
smooth elevation and lowering. Check for High
Drive cut-out as platform begins to raise.
2. Drive forward and reverse, check for proper opera-
tion.
3. Check that drive brake holds when machine is
driven up a hill, not to exceed rated gradeability, and
stopped.
4. Steer left and right. Check for proper operation.
5. Check fluid level on hydraulic oil reservoir. Refer to
the Lubrication Chart.
2.6 TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
The Torque Chart in this section consists of standard
torque values based on bolt diameter and grade, also
specifying dry and wet torque values in accordance with
recommended shop practices. This chart is provided as
an aid to the operator in the event he/she notices a condi-
tion that requires prompt attention during the walk-around
inspection or during operation until the proper service per-
sonnel can be notified. This section provides specific
torque values and periodic maintenance procedures with
a listing of individual components. Utilizing this Torque
