OM3037 Operation - Section 3 Operating Instructions Page 3-3 9. Move on around the hydraulic tank and in front of the rear dual tires, inspect the hoist cylinder for any damage and leaks, also that lower guard is in place. Inspect both upper and lower hoist cylinder pins for security, and for proper greasing. 17. Perform the same inspection for wheel lugs/ wedges, wheel cover latches, and for leaks that was done on the left hand dual wheels. 18. Move in front of right dual tires, and inspect the hoist cylinder the same as was done on the left side. 10.
Before leaving this position, look under the lower edge of the chassis to be sure the flexible duct that carries the air from the main blower to the final drive housing is in good condition with no holes or breakage. Also look up at the main hydraulic pumps to see that there is no leakage or any other unusual condition with pumps or pump drive shafts. 19. Move on around the fuel tank, inspect the fuel quantity gauge (if equipped - this should agree with the fuel gauge in the cab). Inspect the attach- ing hardware for the fuel tank at the upper sad- dles, and then at the lower back of the tank for the security and condition of the resilient mounts. 11.
Move on around the dual tires, check to see that all lugs/wedges are in place and tight. Inspect latches on wheel cover to be sure they are prop- erly latched. Inspect wheel for any leakage that may be coming from inside the wheel cover that would indicate brake leakage, or wheel motor leakage. Check dual tires for cuts, damage or “bubbles” and that inflation appears to be correct. If truck has been run on a “flat”, the tire must be cooled before parking truck inside. Inspect for any rocks that might be lodged between dual tires, and that rock ejector is in good condition and straight so that it can not damage a tire. 20.
Move in behind the right front wheel, and inspect the steering cylinder, suspension attaching hard- ware and suspension extension, as well as greas- ing and attaching hardware for the steering cylinder. Inspect the hub and brakes for leaks and any unusual condition. Be sure the suspension protective boot is in good condition. 21. Move out and around the right front wheel, inspect that all lugs/wedges are in place and tight. 22. Move in behind the front of the right front wheel, check hub and brakes for leaks and any unusual condition. Check hoist filters for leaks. Inspect steering cylinder for security and for proper greas- ing.
Inspect the engine compartment for any leaks and unusual condition. Inspect the fan guard, and belts also for any rags or debris behind radiator. Turn work light off, if used, and secure the ladder up and latched. 12. Inspect left rear suspension for damage and for proper inflation, and that there are no leaks. Inspect also for proper greasing, and that covers over the chrome piston are in good condition. 13. Open rear hatch cover, turn on work light, if neces- sary. Inspect for leaks around wheelmotor mount- ing to rear housing, and also brake hoses and fittings. Be sure that covers on wheel motor sump are in place, and that there are no rags or tools left behind.
Inspect condition of hatch cover gas- ket, report any bad gasket to maintenance. Turn off work light if used, close and latch hatch. 23. Move on around the front of the truck, drop the air cleaner pans to remove dirt, latch up and secure. 24. As you move in front of the radiator, inspect for any debris that might be stuck in front of the radiator and remove it. Check for any coolant leaks. Inspect all head and fog lights. 25. Before climbing ladder to first level, be sure ground level engine shutdown switch is “ON”. Inspect fire control actuator to be sure safety pin is in place and plastic tie that prevents accidental actuation is in place and in good condition. 14.
While standing in front of rear hatch, look up to see that rear lights are in good condition, along with dual back up horns. Look up at panhard rod to see that it is getting proper greasing. Also look at both body hinge pins for greasing and any abnor- mal condition. Check hoist limit switch. Remove any build-up of mud/debris. 26. Climb ladder to main deck. Always use grab rails and ladder when mounting or dismounting from the truck. Clean ladder and hand rails of any for- eign material, such as ice, snow, oil or mud. 15. Perform the same inspection on the right rear sus- pension as done on the left. 16.
Move on around the right dual tires, inspect between the tires for rocks, and for condition of the rock ejector, inspect the tires for cuts or dam- age, and for correct inflation. Always mount and dismount ladders facing the truck. Never attempt to mount or dismount while the truck is in motion.
