Operational Checkout
OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT
Use this procedure to check all systems and functions on
the machine. It is designed so you can make a quick
check of machine operation while doing a walk around
inspection and performing specific checks from the
operator's seat.
Should you experience a problem with your machine, you
will find helpful diagnostic information in this checkout that
will pinpoint the cause. This information may allow you to
perform a simple adjustment yourself which will reduce
the down time of your machine. Use the table of contents
to help find adjustment procedures.
The information you provide after completing the
operational checkout will allow you or your authorized
dealer to pinpoint a specific test or repair needed to
restore the machine to design specifications.
A location will be required which is level and has
adequate space to complete the checks. No tools or
equipment are needed to perform the checkout.
Complete the necessary visual checks (oil levels, oil
condition, external leaks, loose hardware, linkage, wiring,
etc.) prior to doing the checkout. The machine must be at
operating temperature for many of the checks.
Start at the top of the left column and read completely
down column before performing check. Follow this
sequence from left to right. In the far right column, if no
problem is found, you will be instructed to go to next
check. If a problem is indicated, you will be referred to
either a section in this manual or to your authorized dealer
for repair.
