Before Departure
Legal inspection
Carry out the mandatory inspection of the carrier vehicle in accordance with the laws in force in your country or province, and complete the required documentation.
Hydraulic oil level
- Check the hydraulic oil level on the driver’s side, just behind the cab.
- If the level is below the white line at the center of the gauge, add oil until the level is above this line.
- To confirm the exact type of hydraulic oil recommended for your equipment, please refer to p. 8.
Mast and roller test
In a clear, obstacle-free area: deploy the mast, lower the roller close to the ground and spin the roller to confirm that all controls are working properly.
Cameras
- From inside the cab, check that all cameras are clean, unobstructed, and functional.
- If a camera is blocked or defective, nothing will be visible on the monitor.
- In this case, immediately contact Packmat Support at service@packmat.ca.
Chassis inspection
- Visually inspect the PK608 chassis for cracks, damage to metal components, or anomalies on welds.
- If you identify any issue, immediately contact Packmat Support at service@packmat.ca.
Hydraulic leak check
- Inspect the hydraulic tank and hoses by looking under the vehicle.
- If oil is visible, locate the leak and repair it immediately.
- Never start or operate the equipment while a hydraulic leak is present.
Roller inspection
Inspect the roller to ensure there are no traces of hydraulic oil and that all welds are intact.
Mast retraction
Retract the mast and return it to transport position.
