Lifting Arms
To keep the arm in good working order and to reduce
the amount of down time and the risk of accidents, a
preventive maintenance program must be
implemented and followed thoroughly.
Maintenance personnel must be familiar with the
operation of the arm, the safety around it and the
maintenance procedures described in this chapter.
Daily Inspection
On a daily basis, perform a visual inspection of the arm,
looking for leaks, cracks or premature wear of the
moving parts. For detailed information on greasing
points, see Lubrication on page 235.
To perform the daily inspection:
1. Start the engine and engage the hydraulic pump
(pump switch
ON).
2. Fully extend the arm.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary arm
control panel under the right-hand side seat just
next to the cab door, you will have to push the
deadman switch first in order to enable this
auxiliary control panel.
3. Turn off the hydraulic pump and the engine.
4. Perform a visual inspection of the following items:
Danger!
Always lock out and tag out the vehicle
during inspection and maintenance (see
Locking Out and Tagging Out the Vehicle
on page 14)
Danger!
Do not stand directly in the path of the
arm while performing the inspection.
