TIPS FOR CONDUCTING A
PRE-OPERATION
INSPECTION
• The operator shall be responsible for performing the
“pre-operation inspection” and routine maintenance
as stated in this manual.
• Before each shift change, the operator must
conduct a pre-operation inspection to find out
whether the machine has obvious problems before
performing a pre-operation function test.
• The pre-operation inspection also helps the
operator to determine whether the machine requires
routine maintenance.
• See the list of machine components in 2 Machine
Components, page 2-1. Check the machine for
any modified, damaged, loose or missing parts.
• Never use a machine that has damaged or modified
parts. Mark the machine and stop using the
machine if it is found to be damaged or modified.
• As specified by the manufacturer, only qualified
maintenance technicians can maintain the machine.
After any maintenance, the operator must perform
another pre-operation inspection before conducting
a pre-operation function test.
• Qualified maintenance technicians must perform
regular maintenance inspections according to the
requirements in the manufacturer’s Maintenance
Manual.
