Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-start Inspection and routine maintenance.
The pre-start Inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior to each work shift. The
inspection is designed to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a machine before the operator
performs the function tests.
The pre-start Inspection also serves to determine if routine maintenance procedures are required.
Only routine maintenance items specified in this manual may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each of the items.
If damage or any unauthorized variation from factory delivered condition is discovered, the machine
must be tagged and removed from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer’s specifications. After repairs are completed, the operator must perform a pre-start
Inspection again before going on to the function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be performed by qualified service technicians, according to
the manufacturer’s specifications and the requirements listed in this manual.
