Daily pre-start checks · Kirloskar service schedule · lubrication and batching system care · warning actions · fluids and capacities.
Complete before the first start of every shift and correct unsafe conditions before loading, travelling or mixing.
Park on firm, level ground and check access, ground condition and operating clearance.
Act if: the machine is unstable, obstructed or anyone is inside the operating area.
Inspect articulations, pins, stops, locking pin and safety retainers.
Act if: a pin, retainer or stop is missing, loose, bent or damaged.
Inspect cylinders, pipes, joints and tank for leakage, damage and loose connections.
Act if: a pressurised leak, damaged hose or falling oil level is found.
Check for fuel, oil and coolant leaks; clear the radiator grille and cooling surfaces.
Act if: leakage, loose parts or blocked cooling airflow is found.
With the engine off and machine level, wait 45–60 minutes, then check the dipstick.
Act if: oil is below minimum or abnormal loss is found.
When cold, verify coolant is between the minimum and maximum marks.
Act if: the level is low, leakage is present or the system is hot.
Stop the engine, lower implements and let oil cool; the level should be near the middle of the upper sight glass.
Act if: it is below the lower control point or the low-level buzzer sounds.
Check the reservoir beneath the rotating driving post and keep the level between minimum and maximum.
Act if: the level is low, leakage is visible or braking is abnormal.
Check fuel level and drain water from the fuel tank and water separator; inspect drains and lines.
Act if: water continues, leakage is found or fuel is insufficient.
Check the pre-cleaner, air-cleaner element, seals and restriction indicator.
Act if: the indicator remains red or an element is wet, torn or unsealed.
Clean the filter and confirm the suction filter is intact and properly immersed when used.
Act if: the filter is missing, blocked or damaged.
Remove concrete residue after work and keep the drum, rollers, chute and radiator grille clean.
Act if: hardened concrete interferes with moving parts or controls.
Inspect tyre condition and inflation, wheel security, axles, transmission and visible oil leakage.
Act if: a tyre is damaged or low, a fastener is loose or leakage is present.
Check jacks, pins, chassis and accessible engine and pump mountings for damage or looseness.
Act if: structural damage, missing pins or loose mountings are found.
Check the seat belt, guards, lamps and safety labels for condition and legibility.
Act if: any required belt, guard, label or warning device is damaged or missing.
Apply the parking brake, select neutral and return the hand accelerator to rest.
Act if: the neutral or parking-brake interlock is ineffective.
At about 1,000 rpm, confirm oil-pressure and battery warnings clear and gauges operate normally.
Act if: a warning remains on, a gauge is abnormal or the warning check fails.
Test service-brake response at low speed in a clear area and confirm the parking brake holds.
Act if: braking is weak or uneven, or the machine moves with the parking brake applied.
