What happens here

Before operating the TLB, perform essential pre-operation checks. These include checking the engine oil level using the dipstick located in an access door on the side of the engine compartment, and ensuring the tires are properly inflated. The host also advises about checking the battery disconnect, which is typically used to preserve battery life when the machine is stored for extended periods. This is a crucial step to prevent mechanical issues and ensure safety.

Goal: Complete essential pre-operation checks to ensure the TLB is in good working order.

just want it down enough that the machine slightly lifts off the ground that's when you know you're stable now you can dig on some fairly uneven surfaces with the tlb because your outriggers will stabilize you and level you out so the very first step before we do anything is we've got to check the oil I mean we can't start and check the oil check the tires we haven't ran this thing in well crap since last fall so we've got two it might be interesting to see if she'll fire up so on the john deere 310 ii we have an access door on the side sometime your oil check will be on the top every every machine is gonna be totally different but you just want to check it make sure your oil is in decent shape how was it a little dark it's like there's enough in there okay so step one now typically when we shut a machine down we always use the battery disconnect so that's the other thing that if you guys if you ever hop in any of our equipment well I probably shouldn't say this on camera but now you guys know I know you know we always kill the batteries that way they stay they stay fresh so the batteries might be killed on this one the disconnect might be activated but we'll find out that
