SECTION 2. PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
2.1
GENERAL
This section provides the necessary information needed
by those personnel that are responsible to place the
machine in operation readiness, and lists checks that are
performed prior to use of the machine. It is important that
the information contained in this section be read and
understood before any attempt is made to operate the
machine. Ensure that all the necessary inspections have
been completed successfully before placing the machine
into service. These procedures will aid in obtaining maximum service life and safe operation.
The following checklist provides a systematic inspection
to assist in detecting defective, damaged, or improperly
installed parts. The checklist denotes the items to be
inspected and conditions to examine. Frequent inspection
shall be performed monthly or more often when required
by environment, severity, and frequency of usage.
This checklist is also applicable and must be followed for
all machines that have been in storage or for all machines
that will be exposed to harsh or changing climates.
These check are also to be performed after maintenance
has been performed on the machine.
Handrail Assemblies
SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE,
SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR.
Properly installed; no loose or missing parts; no visible
damage.
Platform Assembly
2.2
No visible damage; free of dirt and debris.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Before a new machine is put into operation it must be
carefully inspected for any evidence of damage resulting
from shipment and inspected periodically thereafter as
outlined in the Delivery and Frequent Inspection. The unit
should be thoroughly checked for hydraulic leaks during
initial start-up and run. A check of all components should
be made to assure their security.
Sizzor Arms
All preparations necessary to place the machine in operation readiness status are the responsibility of management personnel. Preparation requires good common
sense, (i.e. lift works smoothly and brakes operate properly) coupled with a series of visual inspections. The mandatory requirements are given in the Daily Walk Around
Inspection.
Pivot Pins
It should be assured that the items appearing in the Delivery and Periodic Inspection and Functional Check are
complied with prior to putting the machine into service.

SECTION 2 - PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
Hydraulic Oil Supply
Overall Cleanliness
Operate lift function through one complete cycle before
checking oil level. Oil level should be at full mark or within
1.5 cm (0.5 in) below full mark on side of hydraulic tank
(all systems shut down, machine in stowed position); No
visible oil leaks on the ground.
Steer Cylinder
No rust, nicks, scratches or foreign material on piston rod;
no leakage.
Check all standing surfaces for oil, fuel and hydraulic oil
spillage and foreign objects. Ensure overall cleanliness.
Placards
Keep all information and operating placards clean and
unobstructed. Cover when spray painting or shot blasting
to protect legibility.
Operators and Safety Manual
Steer Linkage
Ensure a copy of this manual is enclosed in the manual
storage box.
No loose or missing parts; no visible damage.
Front Spindle Assemblies
Machine Log
No excessive wear; no damage; evidence of proper lubrication.
Control Boxes (Platform and Ground)
Switches operable; no visible damage; placards secure
and legible; controller operable; no visible damage.
Batteries
Proper electrolyte level; cable connections tight; no visible
damage; no corrosion at battery cable connections.
Ensure batteries are fully charged.
Ensure a machine operating record or log is kept. Check
to see that it is current and that no entries have been left
uncleared, leaving machine in an unsafe condition for
operation.
Daily Lubrication
For those items pointed out in the Daily Walk-Around
Inspection requiring daily lubrication, refer to the Lubrication Chart for specific requirements.
2.5
Motor/Pump Unit and Valves
No leakage; units secure.
DAILY FUNCTIONAL CHECK
Perform functional checks in accordance with the Daily
Functional Check before attempting to operate the
machine.
Platform Placards
No visible damage; placards secure and legible.
2.4
DAILY WALK-AROUND INSPECTION
It is the users responsibility to inspect the machine before
the start of each workday. It is recommended that each
user inspect the machine before operation, even if the
machine has already been put into service under another
user. This Daily Walk-Around Inspection is the preferred
method of inspection.
These checks are also to be performed after maintenance
has been performed on the machine.
In addition to the Daily Walk-Around Inspection, be sure to
include the following as part of the daily inspection:
2-2
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT OPERATE A MACHINE UNTIL ALL
MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. USE OF A MALFUNCTIONING MACHINE IS A SAFETY VIOLATION.
A functional check of all systems should be performed,
under no load, once the walk-around inspection is complete, in an area free of overhead and ground level
obstructions. Perform pre-load functional check in accordance with the following procedure:
1.
Ensure batteries are fully charged.
2. Raise and lower platform several times. Check for
smooth elevation and lowering. Check for High
Drive cut-out as platform begins to raise. Check that
pothole protection system is deployed when platform is raised and that actuating rollers are in contact with the connecting bar.

BATTERY CHARGING
At the end of the work day, the batteries should be
charged for the next days work. Position the Emergency
Stop switch to OFF. Prior to charging, be sure electrolyte
covers plates. Connect the battery charger to a properly
grounded receptacle using a suitable extension cord. Set
the battery charger timer switch, if equipped, for the
desired charging time. After charging, check the electrolyte level of the batteries and adjust accordingly. Add distilled water only to batteries. A fully charged battery will
have a specific gravity of between 1.260 - 1.275 on a
hydrometer.
WHEN ADDING DISTILLED WATER TO THE BATTERIES, A NONMETALLIC CONTAINER AND/OR FUNNEL MUST BE USED. ADD
WATER ONLY TO LEVEL INDICATOR OR 0.95 CM (3/8 INCH)
ABOVE SEPARATORS.
