When should you check the oil level during operations?

Checking the oil level before, during, and after operation is crucial for maintaining proper engine performance and ensuring longevity. Regular monitoring of oil levels helps identify potential leaks or consumption issues throughout the operational cycle.

Before operations, this check ensures that the equipment is adequately lubricated and can function correctly without the risk of damage due to low oil levels. During operation, monitoring the oil allows for immediate attention to any changes in levels that may indicate problems, such as leaks or burn-off. After operation, checking the oil can provide insights into how much oil was used during operation and help identify any further maintenance needs. Together, these checks promote optimal performance and ensure safety in electrical power production.
