Perform Routine Fluid and Filter Checks

What happens here

Before starting heavy equipment for the day, perform quick daily checks on essential components. This includes visually inspecting the engine's air filter for dirt buildup (which can be easily removed or replaced if necessary) and checking the oil filter for any leaks or signs of wear. Crucially, always remember to check the fluid levels (e.g., engine oil, hydraulic fluid) to ensure they are within the recommended range. A good practice is to date and record the hours on filters when they are changed so you know exactly when maintenance was last performed.

Goal: Conduct quick daily checks of critical fluids and filters on heavy equipment.
