Lesson 1Finding di maker’s inspection list and operator manualsDis part teach how to find and understand di maker’s inspection list and operator manuals. Learners make sure dem dey use di right papers, follow di steps, and know limits, warnings, and procedures for dat model.
Finding di correct operator and service manualsReading model-specific warnings and limitsFollowing di maker’s inspection listUnderstanding how often to inspectGetting digital or on-board papersLesson 2Powertrain and electrical checks: batteries, wiring, alternator, and isolation stepsDis part focus on MEWP powertrain and electrical system checks. Learners check batteries, engines, wiring, alternators, and isolation devices, making sure connections dey tight, charge dey proper, and shutdown dey safe before using di platform.

Learners look at hoses, fittings, cylinders, and fluid levels, spotting conditions wey fit cause sudden move, loss of support, or harm to environment.
Checking hoses, fittings, and quick couplersLooking at hydraulic fluid level and dirtExamining cylinders, rods, and seals for damageSpotting active leaks and seepage patternsHandling leaks and environmental controlsLesson 4Control functions test: main, secondary, dead-man, and emergency loweringDis part detail how to test all MEWP control functions before use. E include main and secondary controls, dead-man features, speed limits, and emergency lowering, making sure di machine respond correct and stop safe under operator command.

Learners practice writing findings, tagging faulty units, and doing detention or lockout steps to stop use until repairs dey checked and recorded.
Filling daily pre-start inspection formsRecording defects, trends, and follow-up actionsPutting defect tags and out-of-service labelsDoing detention and lockout stepsStoring and keeping inspection recordsLesson 6Tires, tracks, axles, and outriggers: wear, pressure, alignment, and ground contact areasDis part address inspection of tires, tracks, axles, and outriggers. Learners check wear, pressure, alignment, and ground contact, making sure di MEWP get enough support, grip, and stability on di surface before going up.

E cover reporting channels, isolation steps, repair checks, and recordkeeping to keep faulty units out of service.
