Machine Inspections and Maintenance

DO NOT operate this machine until you have read and understood this manual, have performed the Workplace Inspection,
Pre-Start Inspection and Routine Maintenance, and have completed all the test operations detailed in the Operating
Instructions section.
The operator must conduct a Pre-Start Inspection of the machine and test all functions before each work shift to check for damage,
malfunction and unauthorized modification.
Tag and remove a damaged, malfunctioning or modified machine from service. DO NOT use a damaged, malfunctioning or modified
machine.
Use the Pre-Start Inspection to determine what Routine Maintenance is required. The operator may perform only the routine
maintenance items specified in this manual.
IMPORTANT— Scheduled maintenance inspection checklists are included in this manual for use only by qualified service
technicians. Only qualified service technicians may perform repairs to the machine. After repairs are completed,
the operator must perform a Pre-Start Inspection before proceeding to the Functions Test.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate and burn skin, damage eyes, and may cause serious
injury, blindness, and death. Repair leaks immediately. Fluid leaks under pressure may not always be
visible. Check for pin hole leaks with a piece of cardboard, not your hand.
NEVER perform work or inspection on the machine with the platform elevated without first blocking
the scissor assembly with the Maintenance Lock (see page 28).
Perform scheduled maintenance at recommended intervals. Failure to perform scheduled
maintenance at recommended intervals may result in a defective or malfunctioning machine and may
result in injury or death of the operator. Keep maintenance records current and accurate.
Immediately report any damage, defect, unauthorized modification or malfunction to your supervisor.
Any defect must be repaired prior to continued use. DO NOT use a damaged, modified or
malfunctioning machine.
Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. Plug all hoses and fitting immediately after
disassembly to protect the system from outside contamination (including rain).
Never open a hydraulic system when there are contaminants in the air.
Always clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic systems.
Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible lubricants may cause as much
damage as no lubrication.
Watch for makeshift "fixes" which can jeopardize safety as well as lead to more costly repair.
Inspection and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the equipment.
