Check for damage, especially to pressure gauges, filters, and control panels.
d.
Check for loose or missing securements and fasteners. Tighten or replace as necessary.
e.
Check wiring for loose connections and frayed cables. Secure as necessary. Repair or replace damaged cables.
f.
Check hydraulic power unit reservoir sight gauge to make sure reservoir is full of oil. Add oil if necessary.
g.

the shift leader for possible troubleshooting and corrective action.
e.
Make sure all components operate normally.
f.
Make sure readings on hydraulic power unit piston pump low (return) pressure gauge and piston pump high
(discharge) pressure gauge are the same. Adjust bias settings if readings differ.
g.
Check hydraulic power unit filter pressure gauges. If pressure gauges indicate a requirement for filter element
replacement, notify shift leader so this can be done after operation is completed.
