PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS
Walk around this equipment. Carefully inspect for evidence of physical damage, such as
cracks, bends, or deformation of plates and welds. Check for loose, broken or missing parts,
including brackets, vibration isolators, nuts and bolts. Hardware should be replaced with
original equipment manufacturers (OEM) parts, and should be properly tightened to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Remove all trash and debris from the machine. Make sure oily rags,
leaves, or other flammable material are removed and not stored on the
unit. Avoid potential fire hazards!
Clean all oil or grease from operator areas such as control handles, foot
pedals, or platforms to prevent slipping.
Check for fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluid leaks. All leaks must be corrected before operation.
Inspect all hydraulic hoses (if applies) for cracks or signs of wear and replace if necessary.
Secure all caps and filler plugs for all systems.
Always use a flashlight or shielded trouble light when checking for leaks.
Never use an open flame. Never check for hydraulic leaks with your hand. Hydraulic systems are
under high pressure and leaks in these systems can penetrate the skin which can result in
serious injury or even death. Always use a piece of cardboard or wood when looking for hydraulic
leaks.
Be sure the trowel is properly lubricated. See that the fuel, lubricating oil,
coolant and hydraulic reservoirs are filled to the proper levels with the
correct fluids
recommendations.
FIRE PREVENTION
Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling.
Never refuel –
• When engine is running
• Near open flame or sparks
• While smoking
• In poorly ventilated areas
Never overfill fuel tanks or fluid reservoirs. In the event of a fuel spill, do not attempt to start
the engine until the fuel residue has been completely wiped up, and the area surrounding
the engine is dry. Replace fuel cap securely after refueling.
Inspect electrical wiring for damage or wear.
Batteries produce explosive gas. Keep open flame or sparks away.
