• Check that all hardware is in place and secure.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and wear. Fix or replace
where necessary.
• Inspect around the machine for evidence of hydraulic leaks.
• Examine flighting for damage or unusual wear.
• Inspect the truss cables for proper tension and possible damage such as
fraying, kinking, or unwinding.

ble damage.
