I'm Carl Kumpf. I'm a product support Rep for Kirby Smith Machinery out of the Dallas branch. Whatever machine you have, there's always things you should do before you start the machine. The first first, what I would do is walk around the machine and check for any visible damage. Their machines, they're in the dirt. Things happen. Sometimes they get damaged a little bit and it's good to point out these pieces of damage so they can be repaired before they become a real problem. So on your day-to-day you should be greasing every grease point on your work equipment. There are grease points on every machine that need to be greased daily. If they're not greased daily, pins get dry and start wearing and it ends up costing a lot of money in the in the long run. On every moving part on a machine, there is likely a grease dirt that needs to be greased about every eight hours or every once every work day. On this dozer here, we can see there's pins for each of the cylinders here and there's a grease dirt on top of each pin and that needs to be greased daily. Other things on the checklist or check your basic fluids, your hydraulic level, your engine oil level, your coolant level. You see your coolant tank and your markings is low and full, and if the fluid is anywhere in between, you're good to go. Also, here's the sight glass for the hydraulic oil and if you can see oil in the sight glass above this little. Red dot. That means it's it's good to go. If any of the fluids are low, Kirby Smith carries all the Lube products and coolant products that you need to top off your machine and have it at the correct levels. Moving around to the front of the machine, you're cutting edges need to be inspected. On this brand new dozer, you can see the mounting hardware is directly in the middle of the cutting edge, so it's not worn at all. But as the machine starts to get used, this cutting edge will wear and this edge will come up toward these mounting, these mounting bolts. And that's a sign that it either needs to be flipped or replaced. On tracked machines, it's very important to check your track tension. A track that is too tight or too loose will cause uneven wear. And a lot of noise that's just irritating. So it's good to check your track tension on a track machine between this first carrier roller and your idler. You want just just a hair of sag. You don't want it real straight. You don't want it too tight. Just want a hair slack to tighten this or loosen this, you'll remove this cover. And there is a grease point in here and you can loosen off the valve to let grease out to loosen the track or add grease to tighten the track up. On wheeled machines, it's good to check tire wear and tire condition. You want to look to see if the tread is getting too worn or if they're big gouges or chunks missing out of the tread. That's something that you need to watch. If you see any uneven tire wear or damage to any tire, notify your site foreman and they will contact Kirby Smith and we will get it fixed.

Necessity of Roll-off Cleanliness: Roll-off cleanliness is the level of original cleanliness expected to be achieved when assembling any component or system with clean parts in a controlled manufacturing environment. The purpose of maintaining a high level of roll-off cleanliness is to minimize the overall original system contamination and reduce the premature damage caused to various system components on startup. Built-in contamination is the unintentional contamination left in a component/system during initial assembly or rebuild. The quality & cleanliness of the manufacturing environment is foremost to limit the amount of built-in contamination. Therefore, an important role of cleanliness starts with control of contamination in the manufacturing environment and associated work and assembly practices. #maintenance #reliability #vibrationanalysis #lubrication #manufacturing #cleanliness #contamination
