Terex Genie GTH-4013 Operator's Manual page 42

INTRODUCTION
This section provides the operator a practical guide
for the gradual learning of the machine use.
The operator should get into the driving cab and carry
out the preliminary adjustments, then memorise the
position of the different controls and instruments.
The familiarisation with the controls ensures not only a
correct use during the working phases, but also a
prompt and timely intervention of the operator, when
he shall carry out sudden manoeuvres to safeguard
his safety and the machine integrity.
It is necessary to learn how to use and foresee the
machine reactions. Learn how to operate the machine
controls in a safe and open place, without obstacles
and anybody standing around. Do not ram the controls.
Operate them slowly to understand their effect on the
machine.

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.
