OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fundamentals
It is the operator responsibility to perform a pre-
operation inspection and routine maintenance.
Pre-operation inspection means a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection has to be carried out on the machine to
detect possible faults before the operator starts testing
the machine functions.
The pre-operation inspection also helps understand if
some routine maintenance procedures are required.
The operator can only perform the routine maintenance
procedures envisaged in this manual.
See the list on the next page and check each single
component.
If the machine is damaged or a non-authorized
modification has been done, the machine must be
tagged and removed from service.
Repairs must be carried out by qualified technical
personnel according to the manufacturer's specifications.
After any repair, the operator should repeat the pre-
operation inspection before testing the machine
functions.
Scheduled maintenance procedures must be performed
by qualified technical personnel according to the technical
specifications of the manufacturer and the requirements
envisaged in the responsibilities manual.
