Pretrip Methods
This information reflects the vehicle pretrip procedure, and other activities at the car, in a
typical facility. Variations in local conditions may require some
Service Providers to drive their cars out of the building before
the pretrip is completed. In those situations, some of the steps
will be rearranged. However, no steps should be eliminated. After completing the routine
several times, it will become a habit you can perform automatically.
I.Outside the vehicle
A. Look for water, fuel, or oil leaks as you approach the car.
B. Check the car for dents and scratches throughout your inspection.
C. Check the oil and water levels if it is your responsibility.


While sitting in the driver’s seat, turn the ignition on and leave the engine off.
1. The hydro-boost brake light should illuminate and the buzzer should sound.
B. Turn on the car’s lights and four-way flashers.
1. Make sure that both low beams and high beams work.
2. Leave lights and flashers on and continue your inspection.
C. Inspect the rear vision monitor to make sure it is working and properly adjusted.
D. Inspect the mirrors to make sure they are clean, undamaged, and properly adjusted.

VI. Outside the vehicle
A. Check the left front wheel for tire pressure, cuts, and abrasions.
1. Make sure the valve stem cap and wheel nuts are present.
2. Visual check to ensure no cracks to the rim. Also check for evidence of “rust
tracking” from the lug nuts indicating that the lug nuts could be loose and
require tightening.
3. Ensure tread depth is no less than 4/32 inch.
Use reverse side of penny as gauge for both front and rear tires.
B. Check that the left side reflector and marker light are in good condition.
C. Check the front lights and reflectors.
1. Make sure the headlights, parking lights, four-way flashers, and reflectors
are in good condition.

2. Visual check to ensure no cracks to the rim. Also check for evidence of “rust
tracking” from the lug nuts indicating that the lug nuts could be loose and
require tightening.
3. Ensure tread depth is no less than 2/32 inch.
4. Remember to visually check the inside tire as you walk around the vehicle to
ensure tire is not worn down, flat or has abrasions. Avoid bending to view
the tire for inspection.
I. Check the rear lights and reflectors.
1. Make sure that the rear tail lights and four-way flashers are working, and
reflectors are in good condition.
J. Make sure the rear door is closed and secured. Inspect rear door handle and lock.
K. Check the TP-60 and coupling device, if present.
L. Check that the rear left side reflector and marker light are in good condition.
M. Check the left rear wheels for tire pressure, cuts and abrasions.
1. Make sure the valve stem cap and wheel nuts are present.
2. Visual check to ensure no cracks to the rim. Also check for evidence of “rust
tracking” from the lug nuts indicating that the lug nuts could be loose and
require tightening.
3. Ensure tread depth is no less than 2/32 inch.

reflected in your mirrors, or you can ask someone behind your car to verify
that the backup lights are on.
2. At all times minimize engine idle time in the building.
3. If the hydro-boost brake buzzer and light remain on, a mechanic should
inspect the system.

5. Check ammeter, voltmeter, all gauges and warning lights.
Ensure fuel gauge shows enough fuel to complete day’s work.
6. Listen for peculiar noises.
E. Check the parking brake.
1. While the parking brake is on, put the transmission in first gear and slowly let out the clutch.
The parking brake should hold the car in place.
2. With automatic transmissions, perform this test by putting the transmission in drive.
friend. Test the foot brake.
1. As you start to pull out, apply the foot brake. The pedal should not move more than half the distance to the floor.

Dont mean to be a party pooper but I think brother Cyclops requested on topic.

Attached is a file you might find useful.

That being said, part of my pre trip when I was qualifying consisted of me collecting empty piss bottles around the hub for use later (Gatorade bottles are best), making sure I have a hand cart, and sorting as much as I can before start time.

Good luck...
