Inspection and Maintenance Schedule
Caution
Frequency and extent of periodic examinations may
depend on national regulations.
The Complete Inspection consists of periodic visual and
operational checks, along with periodic minor adjustments
that assure proper performance. Daily inspection will pre-
vent abnormal wear and prolong the life of all systems.
The inspection and maintenance schedule should be
performed at the specified intervals and after prolonged
periods of storage before returning the machine to ser-
vice. Inspection and maintenance shall be performed by
personnel who are trained and familiar with mechanical
and electrical procedures.
Warning
Before performing preventative maintenance, famil-
iarize yourself with the operation of the machine.
Always block the scissors structure whenever it is
necessary to perform maintenance while the platform
is elevated.
The daily preventative maintenance checklist has been
designed for machine service and maintenance. Please
photocopy the Daily Preventative Maintenance Checklist
and use the checklist when inspecting the machine.
