Engine Testing
When the inspection of the front of the truck is complete, close the front grill and enter the unit to test the engine. Turn on all work lights, vessel lights, and other lights. Make sure the engine is in top condition and all lights are working properly.
Check the Hydraulic Oil
If you have ensured the safety of the machine, the operator can proceed to check the hydraulic oil level. The safe level of hydraulic oil is always at a high level.
Checking the Autolube
Next step is to check that the autolube must also be fully charged and not empty.
Checking the Condition of Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 Lights
On Scania R620-A6X4 European trucks, the vessel is a component that functions as a transport container on the truck. For double trailer European trucks, there are 2 vessels used. Each vessel has lights that must be in good condition and clean from dust piles.
Check Tires and Undercarriage of Vessel 1 and 2
In addition to the lights, each vessel’s tires must also be in the best condition, free of defects, and have sufficient air pressure.
Check Ring Feeder, Arm Dolly, Arm Dolly Bushing, and Feed Wheel Dolly
In this section, inspection must be done properly to minimize work accidents. Ensure that all bolts on these components are tight, in good condition, and not corroded.
Air Tank Draining
Still checking the bottom of the vessel, next perform air draining on the air tank to reduce the air pressure in the tires to normal limits.
Testing the Engine Condition
If you have checked the vessel parts and other components, test the condition of the engine by turning off and then turning on the working lights including the vessel lights, rotary, and other lights. Also check the horn function and do not forget to turn off the alarm.
Observing the Instrument Panel
To check if any deviation of unit damage has occurred, look at the instrument panel. If any warning signs of malfunction are found on the instrument panel, immediately locate the source of the malfunction and repair it before the unit is actually operated.
Testing Radio Communication
Communication between the operator and the rest of the operational team must always be maintained. Therefore, before the operation of the unit begins, the communication radio should function normally and the radio signal should always be strong so there will be no communication problem.
Checking the Unit Brake Pressure
Check the brake pressure level on the panel. If the brake pressure is low, the unit is not optimal for operation. However, if the brake pressure is at a normal level, only then can the operator start operating the unit.
