Pre-operation Inspection
Fundamentals

It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a
pre-operation inspection and routine maintenance.

The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything is
apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator performs the function tests.

The pre-operation inspection also serves to
determine if routine maintenance procedures are
required. Only routine maintenance items specified
in this manual may be performed by the operator.

Refer to the list on the next page and check each of
the items.

1 Avoid hazardous situations.

2 Always perform a pre-operation

inspection.

Know and understand the pre-operation
inspection before going on to the next
section.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

4 Inspect the workplace.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

If damage or any unauthorized variation from
factory delivered condition is discovered, the
machine must be tagged and removed from
service.

Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer’s specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a
pre-operation inspection again before going on to
the function tests.

Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
performed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer’s specifications and
the requirements listed in the responsibilities
manual.

 You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator’s
manual.

1 Avoid hazardous situations.

2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

4 Inspect the workplace.
Know and understand the workplace

inspection before going on to the next
section.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Workplace Inspection
Fundamentals

Be aware of and avoid the following hazardous
situations:

 drop-offs or holes
 bumps, floor obstructions, or debris
 sloped surfaces
 unstable or slippery surfaces
 overhead obstructions and high voltage

conductors

 hazardous locations
 inadequate surface support to withstand all

load forces imposed by the machine

 wind and weather conditions
 the presence of unauthorized personnel
 other possible unsafe conditions

The workplace inspection helps the operator
determine if the workplace is suitable for safe
machine operation. It should be performed by the
operator prior to moving the machine to the
workplace.

It is the operator’s responsibility to read and
remember the workplace hazards, then watch for
and avoid them while moving, setting up, and
operating the machine.

Operating Instructions

Operating Instructions

Pictures in this manual may show a boom with tires
and wheels instead of tracks. All safety information
and operating instructions still apply to the S-60
TRAX and the S-65 TRAX, even if the picture does
not show the tracks.

Fundamentals

The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator’s responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator’s,
safety, and responsibilities manuals.

Do Not Operate Unless:

 You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator’s
manual.

1 Avoid hazardous situations.

2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

4 Inspect the workplace.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel, along with their tools and materials, to
an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous.

Only trained and authorized personnel should be
permitted to operate a machine. If more than one
operator is expected to use a machine at different
times in the same work shift, they must all be
qualified operators and are all expected to follow all
safety rules and instructions in the operator’s,
safety, and responsibilities manuals. That means
every new operator should perform a pre-operation
inspection, function tests, and a workplace
inspection before using the machine.

Operating Instructions

Driving on a slope

To determine the slope grade:

Determine the uphill, downhill and side slope
ratings for the machine and determine the slope
grade.

Maximum slope rating,
platform downhill
(gradeability):

S-60/65 XC and S-60/65 TRAX

4WD: 45% (24°)

S-60/65 HF

4WD: 40% (22°)

Maximum slope rating,
platform uphill:

S-60/65 XC and S-60/65 TRAX

4WD: 30% (17°)

S-60/65 HF

4WD: 25% (14°)

Maximum side slope rating:
S-60/65 XC, S-60/65 TRAX and

S-60/65 HF

25% (14°)

Measure the slope with a digital inclinometer OR
use the following procedure.

You will need:

• carpenter’s level

• straight piece of wood, at least 3 feet/1 m long

• tape measure

Lay the piece of wood on the slope.

At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge of
the piece of wood and lift the end until the piece of
wood is level.

While holding the piece of wood level, measure the
vertical distance from the bottom of the piece of
wood to the ground.

Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the
length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by

100.

Example:

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
with one person in the platform and adequate
traction. Additional platform weight may reduce
slope rating. The term gradeability applies to the
counterweight uphill configuration only.

Be sure the boom is below horizontal and the
platform is between the non-steer wheels, or
non-steer tracks.

Move the drive speed select switch to machine on
incline symbol.

54 S

®

-60/65 XC™ • S®-60/65 HF • S®-60/65 TRAX

Piece of wood = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Run = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m)

12 in ÷ 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade

0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade

If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side
slope rating, then the machine must be winched or
transported up or down the slope. See Transport
and Lifting section.
