JLG Telehandlers 2906H: Pre-Start Inspection

The Pre-Start Inspection should include each of the following:

Cleanliness

Check all surfaces for leakage (oil, fuel, or battery fluid) or foreign objects. Report any leakage to the proper maintenance personnel.

Structure

Inspect the machine structure for dents, damage, weld or parent metal cracks or other discrepancies.

Safety Decals

Ensure all safety decals are legible and in place. Clean or replace as required. See Section — Safety Decals for details.

Operation and Safety Manuals

Operation & Safety Manual and AEM Safety Manual (ANSI only) located in cab manual holder

Walk Around Inspection

Perform as instructed.

Fluid Levels

Check fluids, including fuel, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), hydraulic oil, engine oil and coolant. When adding fluids, refer to Section — Lubrication and Maintenance and Section — Specifications to determine proper type and intervals. Before removing filler caps or fill plugs, wipe all dirt and grease away from the ports. If dirt enters these ports, it can severely reduce component life.

Attachments/Accessories

Ensure correct capacity charts are installed on telehandler. If provided, reference Operation & Safety Manual of each attachment or accessory installed for specific inspection, operation and maintenance instructions.

Operational Check

Once the walk-around inspection is complete, perform a warmup and operational check (see Section — Warm-Up And Operational Checks) of all systems in an area free of overhead and ground level obstructions. See Section — Controls and Indicators for more specific operating instructions.
