SECTION 2. MACHINE PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
2.1 GENERAL
This section provides the necessary information needed
by those personnel that are responsible to place the
machine in operation readiness, and lists checks that are
performed prior to use of the machine. It is important that
the information contained in this section be read and
understood before any attempt is made to operate the
machine. Ensure that all the necessary inspections have
been completed successfully before placing the machine
into service. These procedures will aid in obtaining maxi-
mum service life and safe operation.
SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CON-
TROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE,
SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR.
2.2 PREPARATION FOR USE
Before a new machine is put into operation it must be
carefully inspected for any evidence of damage resulting
from shipment and inspected periodically thereafter as
outlined in the Delivery and Frequent Inspection. The unit
should be thoroughly checked for hydraulic leaks during
initial start-up and run. A check of all components should
be made to assure their security.
All preparations necessary to place the machine in opera-
tion readiness status are the responsibility of manage-
ment personnel. Preparation requires good common
sense, (i.e. lift works smoothly and brakes operate prop-
erly) coupled with a series of visual inspections. The man-
datory requirements are given in the Daily Walk Around
Inspection.
It should be assured that the items appearing in the Deliv-
ery and Periodic Inspection and Functional Check are
complied with prior to putting the machine into service.
2.3 DELIVERY AND FREQUENT INSPECTION
NOTE: This machine requires periodic safety and mainte-
nance inspections by a JLG distributor, or certified
JLG mechanic.
NOTE: An annual inspection shall be performed on the
aerial platform no later than thirteen (13) months
from the date of the prior annual inspection. The
inspection shall be performed by person(s) certified
as a mechanic on the specific make and model of
the aerial platform.
The following checklist provides a systematic inspection
to assist in detecting defective, damaged, or improperly
installed parts. The checklist denotes the items to be
inspected and conditions to examine. Frequent inspection
shall be performed monthly or more often when required
by environment, severity, and frequency of usage.
This checklist is also applicable and must be followed for
all machines that have been in storage or for all machines
that will be exposed to harsh or changing climates.
These check are also to be performed after maintenance
has been performed on the machine.
