contained in this operating manual and on the aerial platform.
FAMILIARIZATION

• Base Weldment
- Ensure there are no visible cracks in welds
or structure and there are no signs of
deformation.
• Wheel/Tire Assembly
The aerial platform is equipped with foam-filled
tires. Tire and/or wheel failure could result in an
aerial platform tipover. Component damage may
also result if problems are not discovered and
repaired in a timely fashion.
- Check all tire treads and sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, punctures and unusual wear.
- Check each wheel for damage and cracked
welds.
- Check each bolt for proper torque to ensure
none are loose.
- Check wheel motor assembly for loose or
missing parts and signs of visible damage.
- Ensure wheels are aligned and true
vertically and horizontally.
Refer to Table 4.2 for wheel/tire specifications.
WARNING
Intermixing tires of different types or
using tires of types other than those
originally supplied with this equipment
can adversely affect stability. Therefore,
replace tires only with the exact Skyjack-
