Walk-Around Inspection
For maximum service life of the machine, perform a thorough walk-around inspection before you mount the machine and before you start the engine.
Look around the machine and under the machine. Look for trash buildup, loose bolts, trash, oil leaks, coolant leaks, broken parts, or worn parts.
Inspect the condition of the implement and of the hydraulic components.
Check the oil levels, the coolant level, and the fuel level.
Remove any trash buildup and debris. Make all necessary repairs before you operate the machine.
See Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Walk-Around Inspection" for more detailed walk-around inspection information.
