LOADING EQUIPMENT CHECK LIST
Prior to the equipment going out on rent it must look like
new condition. If the paint appears bad then paint it. If the
paint surface is bad then have it sand blasted. Do not allow
the equipment to go out looking bad. Any bad hoses should
be replaced. The most important thing is the condition of the
hoses. Should be new or in new condition.
COLD WEATHER
If this unit is going to operate in cold weather then please make
sure the proper oils have been used. In cold weather operations,
we must use a softer o-ring to handle the colder temperatures.
