Pre Operation Checks Required

• Prior to leaving yard

‣ Walk around inspection of hydraulic systems for leaks,

pins, and keepers in place

‣ Visual check of boom pins and keepers

‣ Inspect underside of boom not visible when extended

proper function of Atlas Polar remote control system

• At the site

‣ Ongoing inspection when equipment is in operation

What Safety Checks Should Be Performed Before a Pour?

• Safe operation of the equipment

‣ Look for overhead wires

‣ Ensure there is solid ground

‣ Control of people in area

• Allows operator to walk around equipment

in operation

• Allows for good view

• Performs well in any environment

Setting Up Pre-Operational Checks with the Remote

• Ensuring good communication between

transmitter and receiver

• Check buttons are receiving signals from

control box

• Check emergency stop button mounted on

control system is operating

• This check ensures proper operation of

equipment on site

Atlas Polar Mixveyor Maintenance
