What should be checked before operating a TLB daily?

Before operating a Tractor-Loader-Backhoe (TLB), it is essential to check the oil and fluid levels. Ensuring that the oil and fluid levels are within the manufacturer's recommended ranges is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the machine. Adequate oil helps in the lubrication of the engine and hydraulic systems, preventing overheating and wear, while proper fluid levels in the hydraulics ensure that the equipment can operate effectively. Neglecting to check these levels can lead to mechanical failures, increased wear and tear, and potentially dangerous situations while operating the equipment.

Other aspects like the color of the machine, the radio and entertainment system, or personal comfort items do not directly impact the machine's operational readiness or safety. The focus should always be on the mechanical and safety features of the equipment before beginning work.
