Pre-Operation Safety Inspection
Note
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules,
operating instructions, labels and National Safety Instruc-
tions/Requirements. Perform the following steps each
day before use.
1. Open the turntable covers and inspect for damage,
fluid leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid with the platform
fully lowered. The fluid level must be between the add
and full marks on the sight glass. Add recommended
hydraulic fluid if necessary. See “Specifications” on
pages 26 and 27.
3. Check the engine oil and coolant levels and make
sure they are at the proper level.
4. Check that all guardrails are in place and all fasteners
are properly tightened.
5. Inspect the machine thoroughly for cracked welds
and structural damage, loose or missing hardware,
hydraulic leaks, damaged control cable and loose
wire connections.
To warm-up the hydraulic fluid from the upper controls:
1. Start the engine from the upper controls.
2. Place the hydraulic fluid warm-up switch in the on
position.
The engine throttle speed will increase to warm the
hydraulic fluid.
The engine throttle speed will decrease and return
to idle once the hydraulic fluid reaches a preset
temperature.
If the warm-up switch is left on the engine speed
will continue to increase and decrease to keep the
hydraulic fluid at a preset temperature.
3. When the engine throttle speed returns to idle, place
the hydraulic oil warm-up switch in the off position.
