Before starting the engine, walk around the machine and look to the underside of chassis for anything unusual like
looseness of the bolts and nuts, leakage of fuel, oil and cooling water. Also check the condition of the work equip-
ment and the hydraulic system.
Check also for loose wiring, play, and collection of dust at places which reach high temperature.
