PRE-OPERATIONAL & SAFETY INSPECTION
• Open module covers. (Photos 1, 2, 3, & 4)
• Visually inspect machine for any damage or missing parts.
• Check that platform is secured, with all fasteners in place.
• Check hydraulic oil level with platform fully lowered and boom completely retracted. Oil should be
within 1 inch / 2.5 cm of tank top. (Photo 5) IMPORTANT: If hydraulic oil is required, use only Shell
Tellus No. 46 or equivalent.
• Check battery fluid level. CAUTION: To ensure proper battery care, add battery fluid only after
charging.
• Check battery terminals for tightness of connectors and cleanliness. (Photo 6)
• Check battery charger to verify that output meter indicates charging current. (Photo 7)
• Check tires daily. Maintain 45 psi (310 kPa) air pressure. Make sure all lug nuts are securely
tightened. Torque lug nuts to 65 -75 ft-lbs / 289 - 334 Nm. (Photo 8)
• After preceding checks have been completed, operate machine from the ground through all functions
to check that machine and controls are in safe working condition. (Photo 9)
