Check all bolts, nuts, and screws to make sure they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. Do not try
to check them with a tool, but look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find
one loose, report it to the next higher level of maintenance.
Inspect welds for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If a broken weld
is found, report it to the next higher level of maintenance.
Inspect electrical wires, connectors, terminals, and receptacles for cracked or broken insulation, bare
wires, and loose or broken connectors. Tighten loose connectors. Examine terminals and receptacles for
serviceability. If deficiencies are found, report them to the next higher level of maintenance.
Inspect hoses and fluid lines. Look for wear, damage, and leaks. Make sure that clamps and fittings are
tight. Wet spots and stains around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose
connector, or if something is broken or worn out, report it to the next higher level of maintenance.
