Coolant
Cummins engines are are liquid cooled. When the en-
gine is cold, there should be about 2.5 cm (″) of coolant
in the bottom of the reservoir (refer to Figure 7.2).
Figure 7.2 – Coolant Reservoir
Coolant leaks are easily visible on the ground. Check
under the chassis for coolant that has leaked.
Make sure the radiator core and ventilation openings on
the cover are free of bugs, dirt or foreign material that
might restrict airflow.
Deutz engines are air cooled. Visually inspect the air
intake and fan (refer to Figure 7.3) to be sure they are
free of obstructions that could stop or slow the flow of
air. Inspect the fan belt to see that it is in place and not
cracked.
Figure 7.3 – Air Intake
Fuel Tank
Check the fuel level (refer to Figure 7.4) and add fuel if
necessary. Make sure the cap is securely fastened on
gasoline or diesel tanks.
Potential service and safety problems may be detected
by inspecting the aerial platform. This chapter includes
information on properly inspecting the aerial platform
and includes a prestart inspection check list at the end
of the chapter to ensure that no areas are overlooked.
A Warning
The potential for an accident increases when operat-
ing an aerial platform that is damaged or malfunc-
tioning. Death or serious injury can result from such
accidents. Do not operate the aerial platform if it is
damaged or malfunctioning.
Perform a prestart inspection at the beginning of each
shift, before using the aerial platform on the job. The
inspection site must have a smooth and level surface.
Operator’s Manual
The manual holder is located behind the front cowl-
ing door (refer to Figure 7.) on the right side of the
machine.
Figure 7.1 – Operator’s Manual Holder
Check to see that the proper Operator’s Manual is in the
holder. The manual should be complete with all pages
intact and in readable condition.
Engine
Open the engine compartment doors on both sides of
the machine and visually inspect the engine and its
components with the engine off.
Oil Level
Check the engine oil level before starting the engine
so the oil has drained to the pan. The proper oil level is
between the add and full marks on the dipstick.
The distance between the top and bottom dipstick marks
corresponds to about l ( quart US). Add oil, if neces-
sary, before starting the engine.
