PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
DO NOT OPERATE UNLESS:
You learn and practice the principles of
safe machine operation contained in this
operator's manual.

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

function tests.
The pre-operation inspection also serves
to determine if routine maintenance
procedures are required. Only routine
maintenance items specied in this manual
may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and
check each of the items and locations for
modications, damage or loose or missing
parts.
A damaged or modied machine must never
be used. If damage or any 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 qualied service technician, according
to the manufacturer’s specications. 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 qualied service
