Daily Inspection
SMCS Code: 1000; 7000
For a maximum service life of the machine, complete
a thorough walk-around inspection before you mount
the machine and before you start the engine.
Inspect the area around the machine and under the
machine. Look for loose bolts, trash buildup, oil,
coolant leakage, broken parts, or worn parts.
Note: Watch closely for leaks. If you observe a leak,
find the source of the leak and correct the leak. If you
suspect a leak or you observe a leak, check the fluid
levels more frequently.
Inspect the condition of the equipment and of the
hydraulic components.
Check the condition of the tires. Adjust the inflation
pressure, if necessary.
Check all of the oil levels, all of the coolant levels,
and all of the fuel levels.
Remove any trash buildup and debris. Make all
necessary repairs before you operate the machine.
Make sure that all covers and guards are securely
attached.
Adjust the mirrors for the correct rear view of the
machine.
Grease all of the fittings that need to be serviced on
a daily basis.
Daily, perform the procedures that are applicable to
your machine:
