JLG Telehandlers 642: Pre-Opertation Check and Inspection

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 page 2-3 for details.

Operation and Safety Manuals

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

Walk-Around Inspection

• See page 2-10 for details.

Fluid Levels

• Check fluids, including fuel, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), hydraulic oil, engine oil and coolant. When adding fluids, refer to Section 7- Lubrication and Maintenance and Section 9 - 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.

8. Operational Check

• Once the walk-around inspection is complete, perform a warmup and operational check (see page 2-13) of all systems in an area free of overhead and ground level obstructions. See Section 3- Controls and Indicators for more specific operating instructions.
