Pre-Starting Checks

Check the following items each time you begin using the
vehicle for the day:
• Check the tire pressure.
Note: These tires are different than car tires; they
require less pressure to minimize turf compaction and
damage.
• Check all fluid levels and add the appropriate amount of
specified fluids, if any are found to be low.
• Check the brake pedal operation.
• Ensure that the lights are working.
• Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to check
steering response.
• Check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other
noticeable malfunctions. Make sure the engine is off
and all moving parts have stopped before checking for
oil leaks, loose parts, and other malfunctions.
If any of the above items are not correct, notify your
mechanic or check with your supervisor before taking the
vehicle out for the day. Your supervisor may want you to
check other items on a daily basis, so ask what your
responsibilities are.
