Equipment Identification & Pre-Start Conditions

Record the unit identifier, make/model, and location before inspection begins.
Confirm the pre-op inspection was completed before startup and operation.
Verify the operator's manual is available and safety decals/warnings are readable.

Walk-Around Condition

Check for hydraulic, engine oil, coolant, fuel, or other fluid leaks at ground level and around components.
Inspect structural components for cracks, deformation, missing fasteners, or impact damage.
Verify safe access to the cab/operator station without mud, grease, debris, or obstructions.

Operator Station, Safety Devices, and Protective Structures

Inspect rollover and falling-object protective structures for cracks, dents, missing hardware, or field modifications.
Verify the seat belt or restraint system latches, retracts, and shows no fraying, cuts, or broken hardware.
Confirm the operator presence system, safety bar, lap bar, or interlock prevents unintended machine movement as designed.
Test audible and visual warning devices required for safe operation and site movement.

Hydraulic System and Controls

Record hydraulic fluid level if a sight gauge or dipstick is provided.
Inspect all visible hydraulic lines and cylinders for seepage, chafing, cracking, or damaged fittings.
Verify control response is normal and no binding, sticking, or unintended movement is present.

Attachments, Bucket, and Ground Engaging Tools

Confirm quick coupler, locking pins, and attachment retention devices are fully seated and secure before use.
Inspect the installed attachment for structural damage, wear beyond service limits, or loose/missing fasteners.
Verify the attachment matches the intended work and does not exceed the machine's rated operating capacity or manufacturer limits.
