Daily pre-start checks · hour-based service schedule · warning actions · fluids and lubricants.
Complete before use and at the 10-hour/daily interval.
Park level, stop the engine, allow oil to drain back, then check the dipstick MIN-MAX range and inspect for leaks.
Act if: the level is outside the marked range or a leak is present.
Check cold coolant level and condition, inspect for leaks and clean the cooling pack; clean more often in dusty work.
Act if: coolant is low, leaking, blocked or damaged. Never open a hot cooling system.
Check fuel level and leaks; clean or drain the main fuel filter / sedimenter as required.
Act if: a fuel leak or water-in-fuel warning is present.
Check intake security, blocked-filter indicator and element condition; clean the precleaner if fitted.
Act if: the restriction indicator shows blockage or the intake is damaged.
Check the sight-tube level between its marks and inspect hoses and pipework for leaks or damage.
Act if: oil is cloudy, the level is outside the marks or a hose is damaged.
Check hydraulic operation and park-brake operation from the operator seat.
Act if: movement is weak, judders, abnormal noise occurs or the park brake is faulty.
Clean and inspect the body; lubricate pivot pins and attachment points as required.
Act if: damage, leakage or an attachment defect is found.
Check tyre pressures in the unladen condition against the fitted tyre specification and inspect for visible damage.
Act if: a tyre is damaged or pressure is incorrect.
Inspect the cab/canopy protective structure, mounting nuts and compression plates for damage or missing parts.
Act if: the structure or mountings are damaged or defective.
Check seat security and adjustment, belt webbing, stitching, mountings, buckle and locking operation.
Act if: the belt is damaged or will not lock; do not drive until corrected.
Check lights, warning indications and general electrical operation; check washer-fluid level where fitted.
Act if: required equipment or a warning indication shows a fault.
Where fitted, inspect HVAC filter and belt; check label condition and fire extinguisher serviceability.
Act if: a filter/belt is defective, a label is unreadable or the extinguisher is unserviceable.
After the pre-start inspection, listen and watch for unusual noise, vibration, smoke, overheating or smell.
