Walk-Around Inspection

Walking up to your machine first thing is a great time to perform a walk-around inspection.

Open the engine hood and covers to check for combustible materials around the engine and battery, and inspect for any fluid leaks around the engine and hydraulic systems.
Inspect the exterior of the machine for any damaged components, including lights, attachments, hoses, bucket teeth, and other parts such as the track rollers, idlers, canopy, and cab.
Check the windshield, seat, seat belt, monitor, instruments, and switches for damage, and clean or replace any damaged or worn parts before operation.

Daily Inspection

Manufacturers recommend a daily inspection to check your machine every 10 hours, typically at the start of each workday.

Check the coolant level in the reserve tank and refill if needed.
Pull out the dipstick to check the engine oil level, wiping the dipstick before reinserting.
Inspect the dust indicator for any sign that the red piston is sticking out.
Inspect the water separator to see if the red indicator ring is floating, which signals it needs to be cleaned after draining the water.
