Before starting.

Walk around it

• Look for leaks around the engine, pumps and drive motors
• Tires or tracks: pressure/tension, damage, debris in the undercarriage
• Attachment locked on (both quick-attach levers down)
• Seat bar, seat belt and door (if fitted) work
• Lights and backup alarm work
• Steps and handholds clean

Fluids and filters

• Engine oil, coolant and hydraulic oil levels
• Fuel and DEF (if it uses DEF)
• Air filter indicator; radiator and cooler clear
• Grease the pivot points if due (they wear fast)

These are general reminders, not a substitute for your operator's manual, which comes first. Never check under a machine or near blades with the engine running, and lower everything to the ground first.
