Replace if not good working order.
b) Power cable and fittings. Check for chaffing and cuts and other
visible defects. Replace if not in good working order.
c) Mast hydraulic cylinder. Inspect mountings and check for hydraulic
leaks.
d) Mast wear pads. Inspect for damage or wear, replace as necessary.
e) Rotation mechanism function correctly. Check rollers & bushes for
damage or wear, replace as necessary.
f) Lamp fittings are in good working order.
Important! Do not operate lamps with glass damaged or missing,
replace damaged glass immediately. Failure to do so can damage
health. Faulty lamps must be replaced immediately. Failure of lamp
can also result in damaged to the control gear if unit remains switched

hydraulic cylinder, and lifting points (if applicable). Wire ropes should be
thoroughly examined at 6 monthly intervals. New wire ropes should be
fitted every 12 months. A competent authority should issue new
certificates after satisfactory testing.
Note! The latter two items apply particularly to the UK. Units used
outside the UK should be homologated to conform to local regulations,
the onus being on the user to research these and comply. In the
absence of local regulations follow as a minimum the rules as above for
the UK, and consult your distributor.
