Section 3 - Operation Operator’s Responsibility
3.7 Operator’s Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the operator, prior to each work
shift, to perform the following:
1. Visual and Daily Maintenance Inspections
• are designed to discover any damage of
components before the MEWP is put into
service.
• are done before the operator performs the
function tests.
WARNING
Failure to locate and repair damage, and
discover loose or missing parts may
result in an unsafe operating condition.
2. Function Tests
• are designed to discover any malfunctions
before the MEWP is put into service.
IMPORTANT
The operator must understand and follow
the step-by-step instructions to test all
MEWP functions.
The operator should make a copy of the Operator’s
Checklist (see Table 4.7) and fill out the visual and
daily maintenance inspections and the function
tests sections while performing the items outlined in
Section 2.3 and Section 2.4.
IMPORTANT
If MEWP is damaged or any unauthorized
variation from factory-delivered condition
is discovered, MEWP must be tagged
and removed from service.
Repairs to the MEWP may only be made by a qualified
service technician. After repairs are completed, the
operator must perform visual and daily maintenance
inspections & function tests again.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall only
be performed by qualified service technician (see
Table 4.6).
