Monthly Parts Inspection Checklist
Mobius M108S Trimmer
MONTHLY PARTS INSPECTION CHECKLIST
Step by Step
Regularly carrying out an inventory and inspection of the removable parts of your Mobius Trimmer will extend its service life, prevent failures, and decrease downtime.
Mobius recommends performing a parts inventory and detailed inspection at least once per month. You may need to perform this more frequently if you have multiple operators handling the equipment and machine parts.
If any parts are found to be damaged or broken and need to be taken out of service, ensure that they are clearly tagged at the time of the inspection and dispose of them as soon as possible.
