Ensure that safety equipment is available on board (i.e. fire extinguisher, first-aid kit).
Ensure there is no structural damage.
Ensure that there is no unusual wear, distortion, cracking, leaning, leaking on the vehicle.
Ensure that the hydraulic oil level (sight gauge on tank) is as recommended (cylinders must be
collapsed).
Ensure that the hydraulic cylinders do not leak and mounting pins are secure.
Ensure that the hydraulic tank shut-off valve is fully open.
Ensure there is no mechanical problem: structure, rollers, hinges, door locks, wear items, etc.
Report any defective system to maintenance personnel.
Ensure there are no leaks, cracks or other types of problems on the frame area, fuel tank, hydraulic
tank, air tanks (air tanks must be drained every day), cleaning trap and wheels.
