Perform a complete visual inspection of the entire
unit prior to operating.
1. Open panels and check hydraulic components
and hoses for damage or leaks. Check electrical
components and wiring for damage or loose
connections.
2. Inspect chassis, axles, hubs, and steering
linkage for damage, deformation, buckeled
paint, loose or missing hardware, and cracked
welds.
3. With platform fully lowered, check the hydraulic oil level sight gauge on the hydraulic tank .
Add ISO #46 hydraulic oil if necessary.
4. Check that fluid level in all batteries is correct
(See Battery Maintenance, Page 8).
5. Check the engine oil level and fuel level (BiEnergy model).
6. Check that all guardrails are in place. Insure
that gate operates freely and latches securely.
7. Check tires for damage. Check tire pressure; 75
psi (5.2 bar) if equipped with pneumatic tires.
8. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for
damage such as cracked welds or structural
members, loose or missing parts, oil leaks,
damaged cables or hoses, and loose connections.
9. Bi-Energy models - While the engine is cool
check the engine coolant level.
DO NOT use a machine that is damaged
or malfunctioning. Tag and remove the
unit from service until it is repaired.
