Operational Checkout

Use this procedure to check all systems and functions on the machine. It is designed so the operator can make a quick check of machine operation while doing a walk around inspection and performing specific checks from the operator's seat.

Should a problem occur with the machine, helpful diagnostic information can be found in this checkout that will pinpoint the cause. This information may allow operator to perform simple adjustments, reducing machine down time. Use the table of contents to help find adjustment procedures.

The information obtained after completing the operational checkout will allow operator or 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.

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, operator will be instructed to go to next check. If a problem is indicated, operator will be referred to either a section in this manual or to an authorized dealer for repair.
