SWITCH GP 2476935 - Caterpillar

Accumulated grease and oil on a machine is a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water, at least every 1000 hours or each time any significant quantity of oil is spilled on a machine.
A thorough, regular visual inspection of the machine is necessary to maintain machine performance, availability, and safety. Make the inspection at the beginning of every shift or make the inspection after every 10 hours.Inspect the area around the machine and under the machine. Look for loose bolts, trash buildup, oil leaks, coolant leaks, broken parts, or worn parts. Remove accumulated trash, dirt, grease, or oil from the tractor.Inspect the tracks, track roller frames, idlers, and rollers for oil leaks, and excessive wear.Do not operate the machine until all necessary repairs have been made.Note: Watch closely for leaks. If you observe a leak, find the source of the leak and correct the leak. If you suspect a leak or if you observe a leak, check the fluid levels more frequently.Inspect the condition of the work tool and of the hydraulic components. Sound the horn.Check all oil levels, coolant levels, and fuel levels. Check the fluid level in the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank.Daily, perform all of the procedures that are applicable to your machine:

Inspect the tracks, track roller frames, idlers, and rollers for oil leaks, and excessive wear. Visually evaluate the tightness of the track. See the Topic “Track Check/Adjust” in this manual.
Inspect the final drives for debris that may be wrapped around the drive. Check duo-cone seals for oil leaks, and sprocket segments for wear.
Inspect the GET (ground engaging tools) (bulldozer and ripper) and other wear surfaces for excessive wear and damage.
Inspect the linkage for the bulldozer and inspect the linkage for the ripper. Also, inspect the fasteners for the linkage.
Inspect exposed guards, shields, and covers.
Inspect the winch for oil leaks.
Inspect the implement hydraulic cylinders for damaged rods or bent rods and for leaks.
Inspect exposed hoses and hose couplings for damage, wear, and leaks.
Inspect the radiator for debris buildup, coolant leaks, and damaged fins and tubes.
Inspect the aftercooler for debris buildup, coolant leaks, and damaged fins and tubes.
Inspect the fan for damage to the blades or for oil leaks.
Inspect the lights for broken bulbs and for broken lenses. Inspect light guards and shields for damage.
Inspect exposed wiring and connectors for damage and wear.
Inspect steps and handholds for
