The following Pre-Start Checks should be carried out before taking the
machine to the place of work.


1.

Damaged or Loose Fittings.

Visually Inspect the machine for signs of wear and tear, damage, loose or

missing

parts.


2.

Wheels. (For towing only)

Check tyres are at the correct pressure, 55 psi (3.8 bar) and that the

wheel nuts are tightened using the correct torque setting (100Nm).


3. Hydraulic

The hydraulic oil tank is located underneath the slew cover on the left

hand side of the machine (looking from the cage end).

With the booms and outriggers in the transport position, the hydraulic oil

level should be visible between the upper and lower marks of the dipstick.


Top up with ISO Grade 22 hydraulic oil if necessary.



4. Safety

Switches.

Visually check the cage overload switch is free from damage.

Check all limit switch arms are free from damage and move easily .

With outriggers in transport position, it must not be possible to operate the

extending

structure.


With outriggers deployed, under load and top or bottom boom raised

approximately 50mm, it must NOT be possible to operate the outrigger

controls.

5.

Emergency stop switches must operate correctly. Check that each stops the

machine’s controls and that restarting is prevented until all stop switches

are unlatched.
