SECTION 2 - PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
2-4 – JLG Lift – 3120781
Batteries Charged (DC Models)
Start each day with fully charged batteries. (See Section 2-
7. “Battery Charging and Maintenance.”)
Overall Cleanliness
Keep oil, grease, water, etc. wiped from standing surfaces
and hand holds.
Placards
Keep all information and operating placards clean and
unobstructed. Cover areas where placards are present
when using the machine for spraying paint or any material
which could cover these surfaces and reduce legibility.
Operators & Safety and ANSI
Responsibilities Manual
Ensure a copy of the Operators and Safety and ANSI
Responsibilities manual is enclosed in the manual storage
box.
Lubrication
For those parts pointed out in the Walk-Around Inspection
requiring lubrication, (refer to the Lubrication Chart, Figure
2-4., this Section), for specific time interval requirements.
2.5 DAILY FUNCTIONAL CHECK
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNC-
TIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
Once the walk-around inspection is complete, a functional
check of all systems should be performed in an area free
of overhead and ground level obstructions. Perform a
functional check in accordance with the following proce-
dures:
1. Set-up machine for operation, according to instruc-
tions in Section 4-3, “Machine Set-Up & Operation”,
i.e.. install outriggers, level machine, make sure all
wheels are off ground, etc.
2. Enter platform, raise and lower platform 2 ft. to 3 ft.
(.61m to .92 m) several times. Check for smooth ele-
vation and lowering of platform.
3. With platform completely lowered, check hydraulic
oil level in reservoir at ground control station. Main-
tain an oil level to the "Fill to Line" indicator on the
side of the reservoir. NEVER USE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE FLUID, refer to the Lubrication Chart, Figure
7-2, for specific requirements.
2.6 TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
The Torque Chart, Figure 2-6, consists of standard torque
values based on bolt diameter and grade, it also specifies
dry and wet torque values in accordance with recom-
mended shop practices. This chart is provided as an aid
to the user/operator in the event he/she notices a condi-
tion that requires prompt attention during the walk-around
inspection or during operation until the proper service per-
sonnel can be notified. Utilizing this Torque Chart in con-
junction with the preventive maintenance section in
Section 8, will enhance the safety, reliability and perfor-
mance of the machine.
