6. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the boom, attached head, and tractor must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped,
present and functional. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection reveals any condition affecting
safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing parts as soon as noticed. By performing
a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time and repair cost can be avoided.
