DAILY VISUAL INSPECTION
EXTENSION SYSTEM - While operating the unit
from the lower controls, observe the extension
system during operation. First, raise the outer/inner
boom assembly to a maximum upright position, and
then fully extend the inner boom. Next, lower the
outer/inner boom assembly to a position slightly
below horizontal, and then retract the inner boom.
Extension and retraction of the inner boom should be
smooth. Also, listen for any abnormal noises while
extending and retracting, which could indicate a
potential problem and warrant further inspection of
the extension system.
LEVELING SYSTEM - Inspect the master cylinder,
slave cylinder, hoses, and fittings for damage, wear,
or foreign objects which may prevent proper
operation. Refer to Parts & Assemblies Section of
the Service Manual for these components. Also
inspect the protective fiberglass covers, on each side
of the slave cylinder, for cracks or damage. If these
conditions exist they must be repaired by qualified
personnel before operation.
DECALS - Identification, operational, and instructional
decals are installed at numerous locations on the
Versalift. These decals must be replaced if they
become lost, damaged, or illegible. Refer to the
“Decal Placement” illustration in this section.
ROPE - Make a thorough check of the winch rope for
abrasive wear, pulled strands, cuts, and other
defects. The rope should be clean and dry. The rope
coils should spool evenly on the winch reel. Do not
use a rope that has been subjected to shock loads.
Replace the winch rope at the first sign of damage or
deterioration. Use only non-conductive rope of the
size and type specified.
WINCH - Verify that the rope coils are spooling
evenly. Check for hydraulic leaks as well as leaks
from the winch drive gearbox.
FIBERGLASS BOOMS - Inspect the fiberglass
upper boom and the lower boom for an accumulation
of dirt that can impair the insulating value of the
fiberglass. The fiberglass outer surface of the
booms should be cleaned daily with a lint free cloth.
If the fiberglass sections require a more thorough
cleaning, Refer to Service Procedures Section,
“Care of Fiberglass Booms”, of the Service and
Installation Manual. Check for any structural
damage in the fiberglass, such as cracks or gouges.
If these conditions exist, they must be repaired by
qualified personnel.
PLATFORM - Inspect the platform for cracks in the
mounting ribs, floor, and flange around the top. If
these conditions exist they must be repaired by
qualified personnel before operation.
SLOPE INDICATORS - The indicators are installed at
several locations on the Versalift chassis. Check that
indicators are in place and not damaged. Refer to
slope indicator installation in the Service Manual.
SAFETY DEVICES - Check visual and audible safety
devices for proper operation.
COVERS - Inspect all covers to make sure they are in
place, secure, and in good condition.
