TO AVOID INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC-
TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, BE SURE MACHINE POWER IS
“OFF” DURING WALK-AROUND INSPECTION.

NOTE: Check boom horizontal limit switch for proper opera-

tion and security, both visually and manually. Switch
must shut down high engine and high drive speed
when boom is raised above horizontal:

Check platform footswitch for proper operation.
Switch must be released to start engine and
depressed to operate machine.

Check that drive brakes hold when machine is
driven up a grade and stopped.

NOTE: On new machines, those recently overhauled, or

after changing hydraulic oil, operate all systems a
minimum of two complete cycles and recheck oil
level in reservoir.

Assure that all items requiring lubrication are ser-
viced. Refer to Lubrication Chart, Figure 2-3., for
specific requirements.
