DAILY SERVICE CHECKS
The following Maintenance Procedures should be performed daily before operation.
Verify that all decals are correctly applied and in plain view.
Refer to Section 5 for decal locations.
Verify that all controls and indicators at ground and platform control stations operate properly.
Lower outriggers to level the boom lift.
Raise and extend all booms.
Press emergency STOP button.
Verify that booms remain elevated and do not drift.
Pull out STOP button and lower the booms.
If either control station is unresponsive, refer to Table
If display panel displays an error code, refer to Table
Verify that boom down limit switches operate correctly.
Down limit switches are actuated when the boom is in a fully lowered, stowed position. Limit switches must be operational to raise or lower outriggers.
If outrigger controls are unresponsive when boom is fully lowered and stowed, inspect down limit switches for loose mounting or visible damage.
Repair or replace as needed.
Verify that outrigger safety interlocks operate correctly.
Begin with the outriggers fully extended and the boom lift level. Raise one outrigger until the footpad is not in contact with the ground.
Verify that boom functions are unresponsive when one outrigger is raised.
Repeat this procedure for each outrigger.
Raise all outriggers until the footpads are not in contact with the ground. Verify that all outrigger status LEDs on the ground control panel are unlit.
Lower one outrigger until the footpad makes contact with the ground and the outrigger begins lifting the trailer.
If the LED is lit before the footpad makes contact with the ground or if the LED remains unlit after the weight is transferred to the outrigger, the position switch or wiring is faulty.
Repeat this procedure for each outrigger.
Repair or replace as needed. Refer to Figure
Verify correct tire inflation.
In cold climates, inflate tires to 55 psi.
Figure 4-1. Outrigger Position Switches
Verify operation of running and brake lights. Inspect hydraulic system and fluid levels.
Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and damage. Tighten or replace as necessary to prevent hydraulic oil or pressure loss.
The hydraulic oil level should be checked with the booms down, all outriggers raised and the trailer wheels on a level surface.
Hydraulic oil should be visible in the sight gauge.
If the hydraulic oil level is not visible to at least half way up the sight gauge (Figure
CAUTION
Do not mix hydraulic oils. Do not add any fluid to the hydraulic system that is not expressly recommended by the manufacturer. Adding unauthorized fluids to the hydraulic system may cause damage to equipment
The hydraulic reservoir is originally filled with Dexron III/Mercon ATF with a viscosity rating of 175.
Manufacturer recommends a higher viscosity hydraulic oil when operating equipment routinely in extreme climates.
