Overall Inspection
A visual inspection of the plant should be done on a daily basis. By inspecting the plant visually each
day you may be able to spot and correct potential problems before they become serious.
1. Check all grease lines, ensure they are
properly routed, free of rips, punctures and
bulges, and connected securely. See appendix
A for a complete greasing schedule.
2. Make sure plant is level. Environmental
variations can cause the plant to become
uneven. Use an accurate level to ensure the
plant is level both front to back and side to
side. If the plant is operated in any matter other
than level, poor performance or damage to the
equipment may occur.
3. Visually inspect all guards. Ensure guards are
properly aligned and tilted at the correct angle.
Check to make certain guards are free from
obstructions and are not rubbing belt.
4. Check for loose ttings. Ensure all nuts, bolts, and other connections are secure. Check all pins and clips.
When a pin is being used to secure a section, a cotter pin must be used to protect against vibrations working
the pin out of its location. Make sure all pins and clips are in proper working order and fastened securely.
5. Ensure all hydraulic lines are routed correctly, free of rips,
punctures and bulges, and have solid connections. Use a piece
of wood or cardboard as a backstop to pinpoint leaks.
If hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically
removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS
SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
6. Check battery for corrosion or damage. The battery is located in a plastic bin near the engine. To
access the battery, remove plastic wing nuts from both sides of bin and pull cover off. Make certain
battery terminals are free of corrosion and other debris.
