10. DAILY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
10 - 8 P/N 0191482
20. Air filter
Start the engine from the ground-control box.
The FILTER MINDER gauge (1) has a yellow
indicator in it (2). As the air filter clogs the
yellow indicator raises toward the red area (3)
of the sight glass. If the indicator is in the red,
after the engine has been running for 30
seconds in HI ENGINE THROTTLE, the air
filter needs to be replaced. (For further
explanation of the FILTER MINDER gauge, see
the “GAUGES” chapter.)
NOTE: Leave the engine running for the
next step.
21. Charging system
With the engine running in LO ENGINE
THROTTLE, the needle in the AMPS gauge
should not be to the left of “0” (left of “0” is
discharging).
NOTE: Leave the engine running for the
next step.
22. Ground-control box switches and alarms
D A N G E R
When you check TURNTABLE SWING at CW
(1) the turntable will move directly toward
you. Be sure you have room to step
backward.
Check each of the five platform-moving
switches (2) using GROUND OPERATION (3)
to see that they cause the TB 120 to move the
way it should. Check both positions of each
switch. (For correct operating procedures see
the “OPERATION” chapter.)
Pay particular attention to the EMERGENCY
STOP switch (4) to see that it turns the TB 120
engine off when struck.
Listen for the start-up alarm when the MASTER
SWITCH (5) is first turned ON.
NOTE: Leave the engine running for the
next step.
