Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 10 - IA (Masonry NC II)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western
Visayas through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material aimed

to guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using
the contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 10 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the learner.
This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 10 - IA (Masonry NC II) Activity Sheet is developed to help you

continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities
and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Pre and Post Inspection of Hauling Equipment

I. Learning Competency with Code

Check availability and serviceability of hauling equipment (TLE_IAMS9-12MM-Ii-
IIb-2).

II. Background Information for Learners

For all types of construction, establish minimum requirements to assure

public safety. One of the factors is to check availability and serviceability of hauling
equipment to secure its safety.

If you are new to construction and drilling, it’s important to understand the
types of equipment that will be used on the job. Hauling equipment, in particular, is
used to move building/drilling supplies, soil, and other materials. It must be checked
first the availability and the serviceability of the equipment before the construction
starts.

Importance of Checking the Availability and Serviceability of Hauling Materials

A complete inspection is an important preventive way to make

sure equipment is safe for use and that all systems are working properly. Employers
are required to get unsafe equipment repaired to ensure worker safety. Damaged or
broken equipment requires immediate repair to prevent problems.

Prior the activity the hauling equipment must be undergone pre-operation

equipment inspection for without delay the job.

The Pre and Post-Operation Equipment Inspection Checklist

 Check tires, rims or undercarriage for damage or abnormal wear and clear
away debris. Much like you or I don’t operate at full capacity on a broken foot
or while wearing shoes that are broken or don’t fit, a machine can be hobbled
by the inefficiencies of the tires or tracks it sits on. Identify and report any
damage or potential damage.

1
 Check fluid levels – engine and hydraulic oil, diesel and diesel exhaust fluid
(DEF), and coolant. Fluids are the lifeblood of each machine and require
specified levels to operate properly. A sudden drop in fluid levels may point to
any number of problems with the machine that require immediate attention
(blown hoses, leaking filter, etc.).
 Clear any accumulated debris from around the radiator and other engine
components. The engine is made of moving parts and belts that generate heat
and friction – and systems designed to cool the engine compartment require
room to breathe. It’s important to check and remove any clutter or material
from the jobsite that may have found its way into the engine compartment.
 Check the fuel, oil, air and other filters for signs of damage or leaking. Filters
are often a quick and easy item to replace – and operating with properly
working filters can prevent any number of problems with the machine.
 Check belts (alternator, fan, etc.). A worn and frayed belt is another wear item
that is relatively easy to replace. If noticed before it fails, then the operator can
communicate with the maintenance team to replace during scheduled
downtime or the next PM to ensure it doesn’t create unplanned downtime
during the course of the work day.
 Identify greasing points and frequency. Every machine and every OEM is
different – and keeping the machine properly greased is critical considering
the power and friction created by these giant pieces of steel working together.
It can also help keep out moisture and abrasive materials from the jobsite that
can work into joints and friction points if not properly greased.
 Check for leaking or pooled fluid around and under the machine. This is an
easy indicator that something isn’t right, and the source of that fluid should be
identified and addressed/fixed before operation, and those fluids should be
replaced.
 Check auxiliary hydraulic connections and pressure. Simply check the
integrity of the coupling structure and that it hasn’t been damaged. Newer
equipment often includes pressure relieving quick disconnects – take the time
to relieve the pressure when disconnecting attachments.
 Check for new signs of structural damage, scratches or dents on the machine.
This is almost more important post-operation than it is pre-operation. Once
done for the day, noticing and identifying any damage to the machine ensures
that needed repairs are made before the next shift starts, and also allows the
operator to identify how that damage occurred. Is there another structure on
site that the machine came into contact with? Is there damage elsewhere on
site that needs to be addressed? Similarly, if damage is noticed before a shift
starts, and it was not there when the operator inspected it the day before, that
pinpoints that something happened overnight or that there was possible
unauthorized use of the machine.
 Check for damage on ground engaging tools (buckets, teeth, etc.). A
machine’s performance is affected greatly by the efficiency of how its working
tools engage with the material it is digging into and moving. Worn or broken
buckets and teeth lead to inefficient operation, greater fuel use, and greater
wear and tear to the machine as a whole. Identifying and addressing these

2
 elements of the machine before they become problematic will make the
operator more productive and efficient.
 Inspect the attachment mount-up to ensure proper connection. This includes
checking that the coupler is flush and fully engaged (either via manual or
automatic/hydraulic means), and that the hydraulic hoses (and electrical
connections, if applicable) are properly connected.
 Inspect the operator compartment and clear away any debris or obstructions.
Clutter can be distracting – and anything in the cab that ultimately prevents
the full range of controls from being engaged is a hazard to operation.
 Check and set mirrors. This might seem obvious, but visibility is critical to
jobsite awareness, safety and productivity. Having mirrors set to the
operator’s preference will make them a better operator.
 Familiarize yourself with the control style and change as needed. Most of
today’s machine’s come with rather simple pattern selectors that allow the
operator to use the control pattern that they are most familiar with. This will
lead to greater productivity and greater operator satisfaction.
 Identify auxiliary/attachment controls. Each type and style of machine controls
attachments differently – operators should identify how to properly work their
attachment prior to attempting to use it.
 Start the engine and review console indicators and warnings. Today’s
machines are built to give the operator more feedback on the workings of
internal systems than ever previously available. Take note of any flashing
symbols or warning lights check the owner’s manual and consult with
maintenance staff prior to operation.
 If equipped, check the rearview camera. Again – jobsite awareness and safety
is paramount. If that rearview camera is otherwise obstructed or disabled, it
handicaps the operator’s ability to have full awareness of the worksite around
him/her.
 Review all external surroundings from the cab. Know your work site, and the
people and structures that exist inside your working envelope. This will ensure
optimal jobsite safety and productivity.
