Equipment Information

Pro Tips for LiuGong CLG 850H Daily Inspection

  • Start Cold Inspection First: Always perform visual inspections before starting the engine. Check for overnight fluid leaks, damaged components, or safety hazards that could worsen when the equipment is operational.
  • Follow the Same Routine: Develop a consistent inspection pattern to ensure nothing is missed. Start at the same point each day and work systematically around the CLG 850H to build muscle memory.
  • Document Everything: Even minor issues should be documented. Small problems detected during daily inspections prevent major failures. Use the Oxmaint APP to capture photos of concerns for maintenance teams.
  • Test Don't Just Check: Actually test safety features - don't just visually inspect them. Sound the horn, engage brakes, and verify backup alarms work. The CLG 850H's safety systems protect lives.
  • Know Your Equipment: The CLG 850H has specific fluid levels and operational characteristics. Learn what's normal for your unit - unusual sounds, smells, or performance changes indicate developing problems.
  • Never Skip Daily Inspection: OSHA requires pre-shift inspections for good reason. A proper daily inspection takes only 10-15 minutes but prevents accidents, saves money, and ensures compliance across your fleet operations.
