Daily Inspection
SMCS Code: 1000; 7000
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact skin.
At operating temperature, the engine coolant is
hot and under pressure.
Steam can cause personal injury.
Check the coolant level only after the engine has
been stopped and the cooling system pressure
cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.
Remove the cooling system pressure cap slowly
to relieve pressure.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes to prevent personal
injury.
NOTICE
Accumulated grease and oil on a machine is a fire haz-
ard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high
pressure water, at least every 1000 hours or each time
any significant quantity of oil is spilled on a machine.
Note: For maximum service life of the machine,
make a thorough daily inspection before you operate
the machine. Inspect the machine for leaks. Remove
any debris from the engine compartment and the
undercarriage. Ensure that all guards, covers, and
caps are secured. Inspect all hoses and belts for
damage. Inspect all lights and mirrors for damage.
