Answering Prestart Questions

Prestart will ask one question at a time. The top of the screen will identify the vehicle, followed by the question and possible answers (Fail, N/A and Pass buttons).

“Pass” will identify that you are satisfied that the vehicle meets the requirements of the question. “N/A” can be used in situations where an attachment may not be fitted at that time. A photo can also be attached to a question before selecting Pass.

Special Questions

Questions without “N/A” as an option are a Critical question. If you select Fail on one of these questions you will be advised “Critical Fail. Do not operate.”

Questions can also be set to require a photo before Pass can be selected.

Failing an Item

If the vehicle / plant does not meet the requirements of the question, clicking the “Fail” button loads the following fault report screen:

If there are any open Faults or Repairs listed, you can click on one of these to identify that the fault you are reporting is the same issue. This prevents creating duplicate fault reports while still showing that you reported the issue again / still remains. Otherwise, select a fail reason, add a note and photo if required then click save to proceed.

Meters and Spare Fields

After answering all questions, if enabled in your system, you will be prompted to enter Odometers, Hourmeters and Hubmeters.

Prestart also allows some additional custom fileds that may appear at the on this screen. Click next to continue.

Trailer / Attachment Prestart Checklist

If any trailers or attachments have been selected, Prestart will then start the checklist for the next item selected.

This process will continue until all of the selected assets questions have been answered.

Signing Off

After all questions have been answered, Prestart will display summary information and provide an area for your signature.

Sign the screen and click the submit button. Prestart will upload your completed checklist items and photos to Gearbox. Any items that were “failed” will create a fault report and send an email to the nominted person (usually fleet manager or mechanic) for action.
