JLG Vertical Mast Power Picker: Pre-Operation Checklist

Use this checklist and inspection form at the beginning of each workshift or at each change of operator.

Ensure that there are no obvious signs of mechanical damage to the handrails, platform, lifting structure or chassis.

Release the isolator / emergency stop button at the rear of the chassis (Pic A).

Press and hold the parking brake button (Pic B) and manoeuvre the machine. Check castors and wheels rotate freely and are undamaged (Pic C). Release the parking brake button and check the parking brakes operate correctly. Check the castor brakes operate correctly.

Ensure the battery is fully charged (at the start of the day) by referring to the battery condition meter located on the platform control panel (Pic D).

Check that the platform gates fully close automatically when released.

Step into the platform and use the lift controls on the contol panel (Pic D) to raise and lower the machine 500 - 600mm. Check that the gate interlocks prevent the gates from being opened when the machine is elevated.

Check the emergency lowering is functioning correctly (refer to “Emergency Lowering Operation” on page 8).

Conduct a visual inspection of the Suzie cable. Ensure it is undamaged and there are no kinks or splits. If there are, seek technical help.

Check the mast surfaces are clean and not greased.
