NSPECTION
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules,
labels, and operating instructions, then perform the
following steps each day before use.
Perform a complete visual inspection of the entire
unit prior to operating. Check the following areas for
discrepancies:
1. Open panels and check hydraulic components /
hoses for damage or leaks. Check electrical com-
ponents / wiring for damage or loose connec-
tions.
2. Inspect chassis, axles, hubs, and steering linkage
for damage, deformation, buckled paint, loose or
missing hardware, and cracked welds.
3. Check tires for damage, punctures, and inflation;
Air filled tire pressure must be 7 bar (100 psi).
4. Check all hoses / cables for wear.
5. Inspect elevating assembly for damage, deforma-
tion, buckled paint, loose or missing hardware,
and cracked welds.
6. Inspect platform and guardrails for damage,
deformation, buckled paint, loose or missing
hardware, and cracked welds. Ensure that gate
operates freely and closes securely.
7. Check Hydraulic fluid level with platform fully low-
ered.
8. Check fluid level in batteries (see Battery Mainte-
nance, Section 3-4).
9. Check fuel level, add fuel if necessary (page 2-
11).
10. Check engine oil level.
11. Check air filter. Replace if necessary.
12. Set gasoline/propane selector to desired position.
Set to center position to purge the system when
switching fuels. If the machine is to be operated
on propane, open the supply valve on the tank.
NOTE: When using LP gas, use clean, water free
liquid petroleum gas, preferably from a bulk
storage tank.
13. Ensure that radiator is cold, check coolant level.
Add coolant if necessary.
WARNING

If you smell propane, close the supply valve on
the tank immediately until you have located and
corrected the leak.
