Introduction
Inspections are the most basic form of condition monitoring. Inspections are easy to do and surprisingly effective at helping you spot equipment health issues. Proactive monitoring and analysis of equipment information will allow Dealers to intervene effectively before problems occur.
Note: Before adjusting product settings to comply with listed baseline TA2 values, consult SIS for the latest specification values.

Inspect Battery Cables |
Cables between the battery, the starter, and the engine ground must be the correct size. Wires and cables must be free of corrosion. Wires and cables must have cable support clamps in order to prevent stress on battery connections (terminals). |
|
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, KEBU7061, "Battery or Battery Cable - Inspect/Replace". |
|
Battery Test |
|
|
Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS9326, "Battery Test Sheet Report".
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, UENR4467, "Battery - Test". |
