ZOOMLION makes manuals for different construction and industrial equipment. It is policy to include applicable national consensus, industry standards and safety data with the manuals. Use these data to give applicable training to personnel who are to operate, do the maintenance and supervise the equipment correctly and safely. We make equipment for heavy-duty labor. Do the periodic inspections regularly because the equipment wears. This prevents accidents, decreases downtime and helps equipment work satisfactorily. The goal of these inspections is to find worn, cracked, damaged parts and loose or missing fasteners before they cause a problem. Correct training and inspection procedures are necessary to prevent injury to persons, property damage and high maintenance costs.
