Lesson 1Finding the maker’s inspection list and operator guidesThis part shows how to find and understand the maker’s inspection list and operator guides. Learners make sure they use right documents, follow steps, and know limits, warnings, and procedures for specific models in local settings.
Finding right operator and service guidesReading model warnings and limitsFollowing maker’s inspection listKnowing how often to inspectGetting digital or built-in papersLesson 2Power and electric checks: batteries, wires, alternator, and isolation stepsThis part looks at MEWP power and electric system checks. Learners check batteries, engines, wires, alternators, and isolation tools, making sure connections are tight, charge is good, and shutdown is safe before using the platform.
Checking batteries, liquid, and endsLooking at engine oil, coolant, fuelInspecting wires, joins, and pathsTesting alternator power and lightsUsing lockout and electric isolationLesson 3Hydraulic system checks: pipes, joins, fluid amount, leaks, and cylinder strengthThis part explains checking MEWP hydraulic systems for leaks, damage, and issues. Learners look at pipes, joins, cylinders, fluid levels, spotting things that could cause sudden moves, loss of hold, or harm to nature.
Checking pipes, joins, quick linksLooking at hydraulic fluid and dirtExamining cylinders, rods, seals for harmSpotting leaks and slow dripsHandling leaks and nature protectionLesson 4Control tests: main, backup, dead-man, and emergency lowerThis part details testing all MEWP controls before use. It includes main and backup controls, dead-man switches, speed limits, emergency lower, ensuring machine works right and stops safe under operator orders.

Learners practice noting findings, tagging bad units, applying hold or lockout to stop use until fixes are checked and noted.
Filling daily pre-start formsNoting defects, patterns, next stepsPutting defect tags and out-service marksDoing hold and lockout stepsKeeping and holding inspection papersLesson 6Tyres, tracks, axles, outriggers: wear, air, straightness, ground touchThis part deals with checking tyres, tracks, axles, outriggers. Learners check wear, air, straightness, ground touch, ensuring MEWP has good support, grip, stability on planned surface before going up.

It covers report paths, isolation steps, fix checks, record keeping to keep bad units out of use.
