Safety measures to consider before starting the engine of your machine
Below are a few tips to help you:
- Inspect the engine for potential hazards such as exhaust gas leaks, fuel leaks, oil leaks, or an unguarded cooling fan.
- Ensure that all protective guards and covers are in place.
- Inspect the cooling system hoses for cracks and loose clamps, and ensure that the coolant level is correct.
- Check the engine lubrication oil level and maintain it between the “ADD” and “FULL” marks on the oil level dipstick.
- Observe the air cleaner indicator and service or replace the filter when the red piston locks in the visible position.
- Inspect the alternator and cooling fan drive belts for cracks, breaks, or excessive wear.
- Check the fuel supply and drain water from the water separator.
- Never bypass or disable the automatic protective shutoff circuits.
