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.
