Machine Inspections and Maintenance
DO NOT operate this machine until you have read and understood this manual, have performed the
Workplace Inspection, Pre-Start Inspection and Routine Maintenance, and have completed all the test
operations detailed in the Operating Instructions section.
Tag and remove a damaged, malfunctioning or modied machine from service. DO NOT use a
damaged, malfunctioning or modied machine.
Use the Pre-Start Inspection to determine what Routine Maintenance is required. The operator may
perform only the routine maintenance items specied in this manual.
IMPORTANT — Scheduled maintenance inspection checklists are included in this manual for use
only by qualied service technicians. Only qualied service technicians may perform repairs to
the machine. After repairs are completed, the operator must perform a Pre-Start Inspection before
proceeding to the Functions Test.
Hydraulic uid under pressure can penetrate and burn skin, damage
eyes, and may cause serious injury, blindness, and death. Repair leaks
immediately. Fluid leaks under pressure may not always be visible.
Check for pin hole leaks with a piece of cardboard, not your hand.
NEVER perform work under the boom assembly with the platform
elevated without rst supporting the boom assembly.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance at recommended intervals
may result in injury or death. Keep maintenance records current and
accurate.
Immediately report any damage, defect, unauthorized modication or
malfunction to your supervisor. Any defect must be repaired prior to
continued use. DO NOT use a damaged, modied or malfunctioning
machine.
DO NOT hang anything over any control handle at any time.
Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. Plug all hoses and
tting immediately after disassembly to protect the system from outside
contamination (including rain).
Never open a hydraulic system when there are contaminants in the air.
Always clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic systems.
Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible
lubricants may cause as much damage as no lubrication.
