Section D – Operations
PRE-START
Check the machine daily to make sure all systems are in good operating condition. Perform the
following before starting the machine the first time each day.
Perform at least two “walk-around” inspections each working day - - once before starting the
day and once at day’s end when parked for refueling and fluid checks. Interim “walk-arounds”
when you dismount for a time, or leave the machine unattended, will help eliminate
unnecessary down time.
NOTE
Make sure the machine is parked on a level surface in order to check Engine Oil and Hydraulic Fluid levels
accurately.
1.
Check the engine oil and coolant, fuel and hydraulic oil levels. Drain water and sediment
from the Fuel Filter.
2.
Make sure daily lubrication has been done.
3.
Check the Park Brake.
4.
Turn the Key Switch to RUN position but do not start the engine. Gauges should be activated
and Key Switch ON.
5.
Visually inspect for leaks, worn, loose, broken, or malfunctioning parts. Make sure all caps,
covers and safety shields are in place.
6.
Check tires for cuts, bulges, nails, correct pressure, and loose wheel nuts, etc.
7.
Inspect the work area. Make sure you know where you will be grading and making turns. Look
over the terrain of the job site for holes, obstacles, slopes, slippery surfaces and soft or deep
mud.
If the machine is found to be in need of repair, or is unsafe or contributing to unsafe conditions, the matter
shall be reported IMMEDIATELY to the user’s designated authority. The machine shall not be operated
until it has been restored to a safe operating condition.
CAUTION
Follow manufacturer recommendations regarding use of proper lubricants, oil or coolant.
To prevent a fire or explosion, allow engine to cool down BEFORE refilling the Fuel Tank. A hot
engine could ignite the fuel and burn you.
Do NOT smoke while refilling the Fuel Tank.
Over-inflated tires can explode and cause injury or death. Tire repairs must be made only by authorized
personnel using proper tools and equipment.
NEVER operate the machine with safety guards or covers removed.
DANGER
Always maintain a safe distance from electric power lines and cables. Avoid contact with any electrically
charged conductor or gas line! Electrocution or an explosion can occur. Call the “DIGGER’S HOTLINE”
or proper local authorities for utility line locations BEFORE starting to grade.
Before operating the machine on roads or highways, check local laws regarding the use of lights,
flags, licensing, slow moving vehicle emblems (SMV), etc.
