PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
NOTE
Check visually and manually that the safety micro-switches are in position and that they are working cor-
rectly.
6 - Check that the brakes work correctly when the machine is moving on a slope with gradient not exceeding the
speci!cation in the technical data, and stop the machine.
NOTE
After changing the oil on new and recently overhauled machines and all those which have had the hydraulic
oil changed, operate all the movements for at least two full cycles and check the oil level in the tank again.
7 - Ensure that all the parts requiring lubrication are given maintenance.
Refer to the speci!c pages for the methods to be adopted.
GENERAL INSPECTION
Begin the visual inspection from the number on the list shown below. Continue to check the condition of each
part indicated in the list of daily visual inspection checks.
BEWARE
To avoid injury, do not operate the machine unless all breakdowns have been repaired.
The use of a defective machine constitutes a violation of the safety rules.
To avoid injuries ensure that the electrical current is switched off during the daily visual inspection.
NOTE
Do not underestimate the importance of inspecting the base of the frame.
Checking this area often reveals conditions that can cause serious damage to the machine.
