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 the operation of the machine 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 which will reduce the downtime 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 the specific test or repair work 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.
Before starting this operational checkout, check diagnostic Service codes in monitor. These service codes must be corrected or cleared before starting this checkout.
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 (YES), you will be instructed to go to next check. If a problem is indicated (NO) or (NOT OK), you will be referred to either a section in this manual or to your authorized dealer.
