WELDS
- Refer to the “Critical Welds” drawing in
this section. All the welds should be inspected for
signs of fatigue. Rust and hairline cracks on a weld
indicate weld fatigue.
HYDRAULIC LINES
- Hydraulic lines should be
inspected for loose connections and frayed jackets.
Carefully examine the hoses, especially any portion
of hose subject to fl exing and particu larly the hoses
at the platform.
OIL LEAKS
- Oil leaking onto the truck fl oor or the
ground is sign of an impending problem. A hydraulic
leak will create a slippery surface which is potentially
hazardous. Hydraulic leaks must be repaired by
qualifi ed service personnel and the unit must be
cleaned of excess hydraulic oil. If a hydraulic leak
is not repaired the oil in the reservoir will be depleted
and pump damage may occur.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Inspect electrical system
for damaged components. Check for bare electrical
wires and remove any trash or debris from around
electrical components. Repair all damaged wires
and secure any loose electrical components or wires.
VEHICLE TIRES
- Check tires for the correct infl ation
and for damage. Low pressure or damaged tires are
unsafe while driving the vehicle or operating the lift.
LOOSE OBJECTS
- Inspect the booms for loose
objects (tools, spare parts, etc.) that might fall when
the booms are elevated.
HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
- The hydraulic fluid
level can be easily checked by monitoring the oil
level through the sight gauges. Add hydraulic oil if
necessary.
CONTROLS
- Operate all the lift controls through
the full range of motion to verify the controls are
functioning properly.
EXTENSION SYSTEM
- While operating the unit
from the lower controls, observe the extension
system during operation. First, raise the outer/inner
boom assembly to a maximum upright position, and
This aerial lift is designed to provide years of
reliable service with minimum maintenance. A
routine preventive maintenance program will
assure extended aerial lift service. The operator
is responsible for detecting maintenance problems
during the daily visual inspection, reporting the
need for adjustments or repairs, verifying that
maintenance is performed at the suggested intervals,
and determining if the aerial lift is in a good, safe
operating condi tion. The importance of accurate
maintenance records cannot be over emphasized.
In order to judge the condition of the aerial lift, the
operator needs to be familiar with the maintenance
records of the aerial lift. Refer to the “Maintenance
Checklist” in Service Procedures Section of the
Service Manual for the suggested interval inspection
information. The actual repair or adjustment must
be done by a qualifi ed aerial lift mechanic.
Every day the equipment must be given a thorough
visual inspec tion to detect problems before they
become serious. During this inspection the operator
shall look for anything out of the ordinary that might
indicate a problem. Particular attention must be paid
to the following items. The Daily Visual Inspection
Checklist included in this section must be followed.
BOLTS
- Critical fasteners are identifi ed on the
“Critical Fasteners” drawing in this section. All
major sections of the
Versalift
are bolted together
and it is vital that these bolts remain tight. Visually
inspect all the bolts for signs of relative movement.
Pay particular attention to the load supporting bolts
(rotation bearing bolts, pedestal/subframe mounting
bolts, platform rotator bolts). Critical bolts are Torque-
Seal marked to provide a quick means of detecting
any turning. Do not use the lift if the Torque-Seal
mark between the bolt head and mounting surface,
are not in alignment. Refer to Service Procedures
Section, “Maintenance and Inspection Schedule”
in the Service Manual for recommended torque
procedures and torque chart specifi cations. Refer to
Figure 6.1 and 6.2 for Torque-Seal mark conditions.
