1 Avoidhazardous situations.
2 Alwaysperformapre-operation
inspection.
Knowandunderstandthepre-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.
Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a
pre-operationinspectionandroutinemaintenance.
Thepre-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.
Thepre-operationinspectionalsoservesto
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 and locations for modifications,
damage or loose or missing parts.
A damaged or modified machine must never be
used. If damage or any 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.

Maintenance
Observe and Obey:
Only routine maintenance items specified in
this manual shall be performed by the operator.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
completed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer's specifications
and the requirements specified in the
responsibilities manual.
Maintenance Symbols Legend
Thefollowing symbols havebeen
used in this manual to help
communicate the intent of the
instructions. When one or more of
the symbols appear at the
beginning of a maintenance
procedure, it conveys the meaning
below.
Indicates that tools will be required
to perform this procedure.
Indicates that new parts will be
required to perform this procedure.
Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in
oil level that might indicate the presence of
hydraulic system problems.
1 Be sure that the boom is in the stowed position.
2 Check the hydraulic oil level.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be at the
FULL mark on the dipstick or visible in the sight
glass or between the FULL and ADD marks on the
hydraulictank.
3 Add hydraulic oil if necessary.
Hydraulic Oil Specifications
Hydraulic oil type Refer to machine decal

Check the Batteries
Proper battery condition is essential to good
engine performance and operational safety.
Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and
connections can result in engine component
damage and hazardous conditions.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with
hot or live circuits could result in
death or serious injury. Remove
all rings, watches and other
jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries
contain acid. Avoid spilling or
contacting battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking
soda and water.
Perform this test after fully
charging the batteries.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are
tight and free of corrosion.
3 Remove the battery vent caps.
4 Check the battery acid level. If necessary,
replenish with distilled water to the bottom of the
battery fill tube. Do not overfill.
5 Install the vent caps.
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance
Maintenanceperformedquarterly,annuallyand
every two years must be completed by a person
trainedandqualifiedtoperform maintenance onthis
machineaccording tothe procedures found in the
service manual for this machine.
Machines that have been out of service for more
than three months must receive the quarterly
inspection before they are put back into service.
