Pre-Operationinspection
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.
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.
Fundamentals
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
This inspection is designed to discover if anything
is apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator tests it.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items.
If damage or any unauthorized variation from
factory delivered condition is discovered, the
lift must be tagged and removed from
service.
Repairs to the lift may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a preoperation inspection again before going on to the
function tests.
