BEML BG605I Maintenance & Inspection Checklist
Daily pre-start checks · hour-based service schedule · warning actions · fluids and lubricants.
Daily Pre-Start Inspection
Complete before starting work on firm, level ground with the blade lowered, parking brake applied and controls in neutral.
Before every shift
1
Engine oil level
Check the dipstick with the machine level and engine stopped; level must be between L and H.
Act if: level is below L, above H, milky, diluted or contains metal particles.
2
Coolant, radiator & air path
Check coolant only when cool; inspect cap, hoses, clamps, radiator fins and guards for blockage or damage.
Act if: coolant is low/leaking, hoses are damaged, or airflow is restricted. Never open a hot radiator.
3
Fuel tank & water separator
Check fuel level, tank cap, filler strainer and water separator float; drain when water reaches the red line.
Act if: fuel is contaminated, cap/strainer is missing, leaks are present or water remains after draining.
4
Leaks, belts & driven units
Walk around filters, hoses, radiator, pump and engine joints; check fan/alternator belt, pump drive and air-compressor area.
Act if: active leaks, wet high-pressure hoses, belt cracks, pulley play or abnormal noise are found.
5
Air cleaner & dust indicator
Check dust indicator and intake hoses; clean only the outer element when the indicator shows restriction.
Act if: indicator is activated or broken, hose/clamp is loose, or filter paper is damaged.
6
Tyres, rims & wheel nuts
Inspect all tyres, rims and wheel nuts. Verify cold tyre pressure at 2.8 kg/cm2, about 40 psi.
Act if: tyre is damaged, underinflated, rim is cracked, or any wheel nut is loose or missing.
7
Brake air, service brake & parking brake
Allow air pressure to build before moving; test service braking at low speed and confirm the parking brake holds.
Act if: pressure does not build, braking is uneven, pedal/lever travel is abnormal or the brake does not hold.
8
Steering & hydraulic cylinders
Check steering response/free play and inspect tie rods, steering cylinders, work-equipment hoses, fittings and rods.
Act if: steering is delayed/jerky, hose is cut or bulged, fitting leaks, rod is damaged or oil spray is suspected.
9
Blade, circle & drawbar
Check cutting edges, guide area, circle teeth, drawbar ball joint, pins, retainers and mounting bolts.
Act if: fastener/retainer is missing, cutting edge is unsafe or excessive looseness is found.
10
Frame, guards & attachments
Walk around frame, steps, handrails, covers, mirrors and optional attachments.
Act if: cracks, loose guards, damaged access steps or insecure attachments are found.
11
Wiring, battery & instruments
Check visible wiring, terminals and battery cap vents; verify oil-pressure, coolant, fuel, air-pressure and charging indications.
Act if: cable is hot/damaged, terminal is loose, electrolyte leaks, or warning indications remain abnormal.
12
Lights, horn & abnormal condition
Test headlights, work lamps, stop/tail lamps, indicators, horn and back-up alarm; listen for noise, vibration, smoke or delayed controls.
Act if: a safety device fails or any new abnormal condition is present. Park safely and investigate.
