PRE-START EQUIPMENT CHECK
Equipment check must be made with the engine off and all rotating
parts stopped. Failure to comply could result in minor personal injury,
product damage, or property damage.
1. Check all trailer connections to the towing vehicle, as well as the condition of the safety
chains, and bolts connecting the ball coupler or pintle eye to the tongue.
2. Ensure that all guards are in place.
3. Tool Kit - make sure that it contains all prescribed items (see Tool Kit list).
4. Lubricate equipment. Use hand gun only (see Lubrication Chart information).
5. Check engine oil and fill or change if necessary. Refer to engine operator’ s manual.
6. Check the radiator liquid level and fill if necessary. (Protected to -34°F (-37°C) when
shipped.)
7. Check fuel level. Use ultra low sulfur diesel fuel only.
8. Inspect the engine air cleaner (refer to the engine operator’s manual), the radiator chaff
screen, and the blower air cleaner for dust and dirt. If necessary, clean or replace the air
filter.
9. Check hopper and transition for foreign objects that could injure workers or damage
equipment.
10. Check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank. Proper level is when the sight gauge is
completely full with unit sitting on level ground. See Hydraulics information for oil
specifications.
11. Install the discharge hose. Use the clamps provided with the machine.
Do not use radiator type clamps. These clamps may not hold under
machine operating pressure. Failure to comply could result in minor
personal injury, product damage, or property damage.
