Ins pections  

 

 

Do Not Operate Unless: 

 

You learn and practice the principles of safe 
machine operation contained in this operator’s 
manual. 

1  Avoid hazardous situations. 

2  Always perform a pre-operation 

inspection.

 

Know and understand the pre-operation 
inspection before going on to the next 
section.

 

3  Always perform function tests prior to use. 

4  Inspect the workplace. 

5  Only use the machine as it was intended. 

Pre-operation Inspection 
Fundamentals 

It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a 
pre-operation inspection and routine maintenance. 

The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection 
performed by the operator prior to each work shift. 
The inspection is designed to discover if anything is 
apparently wrong with a machine before the 
operator performs the function tests. 

The pre-operation inspection also serves to 
determine if routine maintenance procedures are 
required. Only routine maintenance items specified 
in this manual may be performed by the operator. 

Refer to the list on the next page and check each of 
the items. 

If damage or any unauthorized variation from 
factory delivered condition is discovered, the 
machine must be tagged and removed from 
service. 

Repairs to the machine may only be made by a 
qualified service technician, according to the 
manufacturer’s specifications. After repairs are 
completed, the operator must perform a 
pre-operation inspection again before going on to 
the function tests. 

Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be 
performed by qualified service technicians, 
according to the manufacturer’s specifications and 
the requirements listed in the responsibilities 
manual.
