Battling a frozen Parking lot!
What happens here
Before starting the work, the team needs to get the vehicles ready. The Ford F-250 pickup truck is started, with emphasis on ensuring all accessories (lights, radio, plow) are off to prevent blowing a fuse. Following this, a Bobcat skid steer is checked for oil (noted as black and full) and then started, producing thick smoke typical of a cold diesel engine start.
Goal: Start the trucks and Bobcat, ensuring proper cold-start procedures.
