Published by SALUSBefore operating a jockey truck, it's crucial to perform a pre-operation safety check to prevent potential hazards [1]. Here's what to include in your inspection:
- Warning Tags: Check for any warning tags indicating the machine is inoperable. Do not start the engine if tags are present; report to a supervisor 1, 4.
- General Condition: Ensure all parts, equipment, and accessories are in safe operating condition and free of damage [2]. This includes checking service brakes, parking system, emergency stopping system, tires, horn, steering mechanism, coupling devices, seat belts, operating controls, and safety devices [2].
- Fluid Levels: Check the engine oil level and hydraulic system oil level 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17.
- Leaks: Watch closely for any leaks in the cooling system, hydraulic system, final drives, and swing drive 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 19. Inspect the tank, cylinder rod seals, hoses, tubes, plugs, connections, and fittings 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 19.
- Belts and Hoses: Inspect all belts for engine attachments for wear, fraying, or breakage. Check tubes and hoses for wear and leaks 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 19.
- Cooling System: Inspect the cooling system for leaks, faulty hoses, and trash buildup. Remove any trash from the radiator 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17.
- Lights and Mirrors: Inspect lights for broken bulbs and lenses. Adjust mirrors for maximum visibility 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 19.
- Steps, Walkways, and Handholds: Inspect and clean steps, walkways, and handholds, making any necessary repairs 2, 3, 19.
- Operator Compartment: Check for and remove any trash buildup in the operator compartment 2, 3, 19.
- Seat Belt: Check the seat belt for cuts, fraying, and proper function of the mounting hardware. Replace if necessary 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
- Covers and Guards: Make sure all covers and guards are securely attached and inspect them for damage 2, 3, 19.
- Attachment: Inspect the attachment control linkage, cylinders, and attachment for damage or excessive wear 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17.
Correct any defects before placing the vehicle in service [2]. Report any issues to a supervisor and do not start the engine until warning tags are removed 1, 4.

［ ## 1.4 PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION ## 1.4.1 STARTING ## CHECK A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG Before starting the engine, check display of warning tags. If warning tags are displayed, do not start the engine. The warning tags are used to notify that the machine is in an inoperable condition. Report this situation to a supervisor of the machine and do not start the engine until the warning tags are removed. <!-- image --> ## ONLY THE OPERATOR IS ALLOWED IN THE CAB The operator is the only person that should be on or near the machine and in the cab. Do not allow any other personnel to be present in the cab or on the machine. ## CHECK WORKING SITE AND SET UP BARRICADES To prevent serious injury, death and property damage, before you start the engine and before you move the machine: - · Check that no one is on, under, and around the machine. Make sure that all personnel are clear of the machine and surrounding area. - · Check there are no other machines or obstacles in the area surrounding the machine. - · Set up barricades to prevent unauthorized personnel and / or machines from entering the working site. ## PRE-OPERATION SAFETY CHECK To prevent serious injury or death, before operating: - · Close and lock the doors and windows. The window guard may not prevent flying debris from striking the operator inside the cab. - · Adjust mirrors for maximum visibility around the machine. See "ADJUSTMENT OF MIRRORS" in Chapter 3 for additional information. - · Check the horn and the travel alarm (if equipped) function properly. <!-- image -->
