Tires

DANGER
Death or Serious Injury can result if an ATB
42/50 tips over. An air filled tire that has an air
leak or blow out is a tipover hazard.
DO NOT raise the ATB 42/50 platform if any
tire has an air leak or is in such condition that
a blow out could occur.
Air filled tires should be visually checked several
times a day to see that they are properly inflated.
Air filled tires should be checked very carefully for
imbedded material, cuts, punctures, or abraded
areas. Do not tolerate a suspect tire, it can be
fatal.
Punctures of the type caused by bolts, screws, or
nails are not a problem for the optional foam filled
tires. Look for large holes or long cuts completely
through the tire body: holes or cuts where foam is
being forced or eroded out of the tire. Also, look
for large imbedded objects, such as angle iron,
that can rip a tire body open under some
conditions.
The tire shown above is not fit for service.

Bolts and Fasteners

Visually inspect all fasteners to see that none is
missing or obviously loose.
Pay particular attention to all of the pin caps (1)
and snap rings (2) that connect the booms. They
should all be present and not damaged in any
way.
Check the turntable end of the booms and the
end of the lift cylinders for other pin caps and
snap rings. Check both sides of the machine.
Pay particular attention to all of the wheel nuts
and bolts.
None should be visibly loose, missing, or
deformed.
