Service Inspection Guide

Perform a service inspection on the system when:
v The system is inspected for a maintenance agreement.
v Service is requested and service has not recently been performed.
v An alterations and attachments review is performed.
v Changes have been made to the equipment that may affect its safe operation.
v External devices with their own power cables have those cables attached.
If the inspection indicates an unacceptable safety condition, the condition must be corrected before anyone
can service the machine.
Note: The owner of the system is responsible to correct any unsafe conditions.
Perform the following checks:
1. Check the covers for sharp edges and for damage or alterations that expose the internal parts of the
