This VMS #3 Mobile Work Platform Inspection checklist guides operators through a thorough pre-operation walkaround of aerial work platforms. Record site details and equipment info, then confirm hydraulic fluid and engine oil levels, check manifolds, hoses, tires, rims, chassis pins, steering, structure, battery, and tilt alarm. Test ground and platform controls, emergency stop, auxiliary power, and oscillating axle lockout to ensure safe operation before use.

RESCo Daily Aerial /JLG Work Platform Operator Inspection
A comprehensive inspection guide for operators of Aerial Work Platforms (AWP), detailing an 18-point safety checklist that must be completed before operation. The inspection process starts at the hydraulic compartment and covers critical components including fluid levels, control stations, structural integrity, and mechanical systems. The guide includes detailed checks for hydraulics, tires, chassis, steering, engine components, boom structure, and platform controls. It emphasizes the importance of function testing, including auxiliary power systems and oscillate axle lock testing where applicable. This systematic approach ensures all safety aspects are verified, with clear instructions to contact supervision if any issues are identified. The checklist serves as a supplementary tool alongside the machine's specific operator manual.
