Flashing Light
The machine may be equipped with an optional ashing
light located under the upper control box.
To inspect the ashing light:
1. At the lower controls, pull the emergency stop button
outward and turn the control select/ground operation
switch to either the lower or upper control position.
2. Operate any control function and visually check to
see that the light is ashing approximately one ash
per second.
Note
There is not an o switch for the ashing light.
Pipe Rack
The machine may be equipped with an optional pipe rack
attached to the left side of the platform guardrails.
To inspect the pipe rack:
1. Visually inspect the mounting plates for abnormal
wear, abrasion, or deformation.
2. Visually inspect all fasteners to see that none are
missing or loose. They should all be present, tight,
and not damaged in any way.
3. Visually inspect the nylon straps. They should both
be present and not damaged in any way. Inspect the
cam-lock fasteners to ensure they securely engage
and release the strap.
Panel Carrier
The machine may be equipped with an optional panel
carrier attached to the right side of the platform.
To inspect the panel carrier:
1. Visually inspect the mounting clamps for abnormal
wear, abrasion, or deformation.
2. Visually inspect all fasteners to see that none are
missing or loose. They should all be present, tight,
and not damaged in any way.
3. Visually inspect the panel tray and hook. They should
both be present and not damaged in any way. Inspect
the hook to ensure it fully lowers to secure a panel
when placed in the tray.
Placards and Decals
To inspect the placards and decals:
1. Inspect all safety and operational placards and de-
cals. Make certain they are in place, in good condi-
tion, and are legible.
2. Clean the placards and decals with soap and water,
and a soft cloth if the words or pictures cannot be
seen.

al. Wear protective gloves and splash-proof safety
