Inspect the Tires and Wheels
(including castle nut torque)
BALLYMORE/ DINGLI requires that this
procedure be performed every 250 hours or
quarterly, whichever comes first.
Maintaining the tires and wheels in good
condition is essential to safe operation and
good performance. Tire and/or wheel failure
could result in a machine tip-over. Component
damage may also result if problems are not
discovered and repaired in a timely fashion.
1 Check the tire surface and sidewalls for
cuts, cracks, punctures and unusual wear.
2 Check each wheel for damage, bends and
cracks.
3 Remove the cotter pin and check each
castle nut for proper torque.
Note: Always replace the cotter pin with a new
one when removing the castle nut or when
checking the torque of the castle nut.
4 Install a new cotter pin. Bend the cotter pin
to lock it in place.

Test the Emergency Stop
BALLYMORE/ DINGLI requires that this
procedure be performed every 250 hours or
quarterly, whichever comes first.
A properly functioning Emergency Stop is
essential for safe machine operation. An
improperly operating red Emergency Stop
button will fail to shut off power and stop all
machine functions, resulting in a hazardous
situation.
As a safety feature, selecting and operating
the ground controls will override the platform
controls, except the platform red Emergency
Stop button.
1 Turn the key switch to ground control and
turn the red Emergency Stop button
clockwise to the on position at both the
ground and platform controls.
2 Push in the red Emergency Stop button at
the ground controls to the off position.
⊙ Result: No machine functions should
operate.
3 Turn the key switch to platform control and
turn the red Emergency Stop button
clockwise to the on position at both the
ground and platform controls.
4 Push in the red Emergency Stop button at
the platform controls to the off position.
⊙ Result: No machine functions should
operate.
Note: The red Emergency Stop button at the
ground controls will stop all machine operation,
even if the key switch is switched to platform
control.
