Item

Operating standards

travel swing brake,

lift, rolls, roller

wheels, rotary drills,

tillers, drill rods, etc.

AVL launcher

Operate in intended manner, if possible, to prove operation is satisfactory and controls are properly

adjusted. Make sure the launcher steers equally well to the left or right and performs properly

in neutral steer. Check for proper adjustments, broken or leaking hose, tubing or connections.

Bridge super-

Operate the interior bay in full intended manner, if possible, to prove satisfactory operation of

structure; interior

the hydraulic lift cylinder, rotation cylinder, locking pin cylinder and curb cylinders. Assure

bay and end bay

that there are no bent, broken, unduly worn or inoperative components. The hydraulic

cylinders, hose, tubing and connections must be free of leaks. Operate the end bay in the

same manner as the interior bay above except as noted below.

CAUTION

The folded ramp section must not be unfolded unless mated to an interior bay. The

ramp hydraulic operation may be tested in its road position by raising the ramp to

approximately 30, then lowering to folded position.

Booms, brushes,

Operate in full intended manner to insure trouble free performance, proper adjustment and

shakers, blowers

freedom from broken or badly worn parts.

and filter bags

Bulldozer blades,

Operate in full intended manner if possible. If this cannot be done, operate to the full extent

spades, and their

possible to insure trouble free performance, proper adjustment, and freedom from broken

operating mechanisms

or leaking parts or assemblies.

Capstan

Operate under load to insure proper function. There must be no leaks in the hose, tube or

connections. Assure that hydraulic motor performs properly.

Communication
