·   Walk around the machine and inspect underneath the machine for visible signs of fluid leaks
·   Check the engine oil, hoist/converter/brake oil, transmission oil, steering oil and coolant levels. If necessary, add oil or coolant to reach minimum level for each system.
1.3 Perform machine inspection preparation
·   Park the machine on a level surface in the recommended service position.
·   Make sure the tractor transmission control is in the NEUTRAL position. Move the throttle control to the LOW IDLE position. If equipped, make sure that the
scraper transmission selector shaft is in the NEUTRAL position.
·   Engage the parking brake.
·   Lower the bowl and the apron to the ground. Move the ejector to the forward position.
