Getting started with Prestart

Getting started with Prestart

Logging Into Prestart


Enter your login number (typically your mobile number and) your six (6) digit pin provided by your Gearbox administrator.



Prestart is not to be used while driving or operating equipment. Agree with the warning to continue.



The first task is to identify the vehicle/plant that you require. Prestart will remember the last vehicle/trailers used.



By default Prestart is configured for 2 Trailers / Attachments. If additional items are required, contact your Gearbox Administrator.  For users checking multiple vehicles during the day, simply change the vehicle/plant as required before creating a prestart or fault report.

Changing the Vehicle / Plant

After clicking on the + or ->, start typing a Fleet # or Registration in the white search box to find the required vehicle.


Alternatively, you can scroll the screen to see more vehicles, plant, trailers or attachments. If you are unable to locate an asset, it could be because a filter has been applied to your user. Contact your Gearbox admimnistrator if this occurs.
