Lifting Arm
To keep the arm in good working order and to reduce
the amount of down time and 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 69.
To perform the daily inspection:
1. Start the engine and engage the hydraulic pump
(P
UMP 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
enable 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
when inspecting or performing
maintenance on it (see Locking Out and
Tagging Out the Vehicle on page 20).
Danger!
Do not stand directly in the path of the
arm while performing the inspection.
