With summer
approaching and an
increased number
of people receiving the
COVID-19 vaccine, many
people are curious whether
visiting the beach is a safe
idea. However, even for
completely vaccinated
individuals, nothing is actually
100% safe.
The good news is that
coronavirus is highly unlikely
to be spread through water.
What is risky, though, is
being around people who
don’t reside with you. This is
because the virus is primarily
transmitted through respiratory
droplets. You can easily pick
up droplets by touching an
infected surface and then
your face and being in near
proximity to a carrier who
propels droplets directly to
your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Before heading out to the
beach, review the rules
and regulations of the local
government, public health
department, and beach
in advance. The beach
managers might need
reservations or have a limited
daily capacity. Additionally,
shower and change at home
prior to the trip to arrive at the
beach “swim ready”.
Covid-19 Transmission:
Pool Water & Beaches
ensure that tourists have access to enough facilities, such as
chairs and other materials, and that all equipment is washed
on a daily basis. Bringing hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray
or wipes, on the other hand, will be beneficial for cleaning the
equipment on your own.
If you need to wash or dry off at the pool, attempt to keep a safe
physical distance from others or enter during less busy times.
Bring an additional mask in case the primary mask gets wet.
Whether you’re in or out of the water, distance yourself from
those who do not live with you. Avoid congested rooms and
badly ventilated interior spaces, as well.
When you must come into
contact with someone – such
as when using the bathroom
or snack stand – wear a mask,
bring hand sanitizer, and wash
your hands. The CDC also
urged beach management to

We frequent beaches — swim areas in lakes, oceans,
and other natural bodies of water — as well as pools,
water playgrounds, and hot tubs to swim, skate, and
chill in water. There is no proof that SARS-CoV-2, the virus
responsible for COVID-19, may be transmitted to humans
through water in these locations.

The virus is believed to transmit primarily
by respiratory droplets produced by an
infected individual as he or she coughs,
sneezes, or speaks. These droplets
can fall in nearby people’s mouths or
noses or may be inhaled into the lungs.
Additionally, the virus can spread from
an infected surface to the hands and
then to the nose, mouth, and likely eyes.
Infected individuals will transmit the
virus regardless of whether they exhibit
symptoms.
Fortunately, there are many steps you
may take to minimize the chance of
contracting or transmitting the virus when
visiting outdoor swimming places such as
beaches, lakes, water playgrounds, and
hot tubs.
Even if you and others (including
kids) don’t feel ill or exhibit any signs,
COVID-19 may be transmitted to your
families, colleagues, and community.
So it is necessary to continue taking the
following precautions to minimize your
chance of contracting and transmitting
COVID-19.
Before You Leave the House
• Wear a mask that fully protects the nose
and mouth correctly and regularly.
• Maintain a minimum of six feet of
separation from those who do not reside
with you.
• Steer clear of crowds.
• Avoid indoor areas that are
inadequately ventilated.
• When you are ill, stay at home.
• Hands should be washed regularly
with soap and water for a minimum of 20
seconds (or use hand sanitizer with at
least 60 percent alcohol).
• Get yourself vaccinated as soon as the
vaccine becomes accessible.

• Get tested whether you have indications of COVID-19 or believe you might have
been exposed to an infected individual.
• Avoid contact with anyone, especially when you have been exposed to an
individual with COVID-19, are ill, or have been infected with COVID-19.
• Remain at home if you are experiencing COVID-19 signs, have been diagnosed
with COVID-19, are awaiting COVID-19 test results, or have recently been
introduced to someone who has COVID-19
• Inspect the public swim field, spa, water playground, or hot tub to determine
whether precautions have been taken to avoid the transmission of the virus.
• Bring items that will assist you and others in being safe, such as a mask (or two,
one for each user in case one gets wet), hand sanitizer containing at least 60%
alcohol, tissues, disinfectant wipes, and paper towels.
While at the Beach
• Stay at least 6 feet away from those you don’t live with, whether you’re in or out of
the pool.
• Avoid busy swim areas, beaches, lakes, water playgrounds, and hot tubs where
you cannot stand more than six feet apart from other people.
• If you are not in the pool, wear a mask.
40
• Never use a mask on an infant under the age of two or on someone who is
having difficulty breathing, unconscious or incapacitated, or otherwise unable to
remove the mask without assistance.
• Masks are critical when physical distancing is difficult to maintain.
• Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, particularly before
eating or drinking and when entering and exiting the swim area. If soap and water
are unavailable, use a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol and massage
the hands until they are dry.
• Hand sanitizers are ineffective on hands that are clearly sticky or greasy, so
make sure to brush away any sand or soil before applying.
• Avoid exchanging things such as food, appliances, games, and tools with nonfamily
members.
• If you are not wearing your mask, cover coughs and sneezes with a cloth or the
inside of your elbow, discard the towel, and wash your hands instantly, or use hand
sanitizer if soap and water are not accessible.
Summer is already here, but so is a recent spike in coronavirus cases as the
pandemic continues. Whether you’re thinking about visiting the beach or the local
pool, many people are still understandably afraid of catching the infection. That
said, it is best to continue taking safety precautions even while on vacation not
only to protect yourself but others, too.

From Plasma TV’s and
HD DVD Players to surround
sound systems and
advanced gaming, today’s
homes contain more electronics
than ever. With
this automation comes an
increased vulnerability to
the effects of surges.
One lightning storm could cost
a homeowner thousands, even
tens of thousands of dollars
worth of damage to the electronics
in a home. Once a surge
enters a home and damages
the electronic components, the
homeowner is forced to embark
on a time-consuming and frustrating
journey. One must:
• Diagnose all of the issues
• Attempt to find all locations of
damage
• Determine if your equipment
is under warranty
• Locate replacement products
• Contact numerous service
departments
A homeowner can help protect
against such damage with a
comprehensive approach to
surge protection. Eaton’s surge
suppression products offer
the homeowner a complete
approach, by offering both Stage
I and Stage II surge protection.
Stage I: Service Entrance
Protection is designed to provide
premier surge protection for
AC power, telephone and cable
at the point of entrance to the
home. Protection at this location
can reduce surges to an
acceptable level for surge strips
to handle at the point of use.
Stage II: Point of use surge
strips are designed to offer premier
surge protection for specific
electronics while providing
innovative features to enhance
user convenience safety.

Many, including those hit by furloughs and
layoffs, were forced to put off attending
college last fall. Meanwhile, many early-career
professionals have found themselves in a
different boat. Being able to continue working,
often from home, many found themselves with
more free time. Richard Garrett, Chief Research
Officer at Eduventures explained how thousands
of them decided that “this is the time to invest
in myself, come what may,” and enrolled in an
online master’s program. “The pandemic,” he
said, “gave them an extra shove.”
Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: METX) announced breaking news earlier this
week that, “the Company has launched SVIP courses to address the high-end adult ELT market.
As China continues its globalization efforts, the demand for international communication is
becoming more urgent than ever and thus, the high-end adult ELT market has tremendous
potential. Compared with other sub-fields, high-end adult ELT addresses more diversified
customer needs, including, but not limited to, international business negotiations and
international cultural exchanges. In order to meet different customer needs, educational
institutions are required to have highly professional teachers in order to provide comprehensive
teaching services.
As a key player in the Chinese ELT market, Meten EdtechX has been formulating more highend
SVIP courses for China’s high-net-worth students/users by providing them with customized
courses. These customized courses will be provided through flexible and diverse teaching
methods, such as remote teaching via video and telephone and face-to-face teaching at our
offline learning centers. Students can choose different teaching modes to suite their special
needs and achieve the best learning results they expect.
Taking into account the recent positive developments relating to the COVID-19 vaccines and the
continuous recovery of China’s economy, the demand for international exchanges is expected to
be gradually restored. The launch of the SVIP courses at this moment is strategic as we plan to
lay the foundation for the growth of this segment, which we believe would enable the Company
to grasp the opportunity to diversify its scope of services and address the high-end adult ELT
market. Building on Meten EdtechX’s years of brand awareness, the Company expects that the
SVIP courses will become another strong growth point in 2021.”

Don’t Make A Slow Recovery More
Difficult with Quarantine Measures
The International Air Transport Association
(IATA) released new analysis showing
that the damage to air travel from
COVID-19 extends into the medium-term, with
long-haul / international travel being the most
severely impacted. Quarantine measures on
arrival would further damage confidence in
air travel. A risk-based layered approach of
globally harmonized biosecurity measures is
critical for the restart.
Read remarks of Alexandre de Juniac
View the COVID-19 Outlook for Air Travel in
the Next 5 Years presentation
Air travel scenarios
IATA and Tourism Economics modeled two air
travel scenarios.
Baseline Scenario
• This is contingent on domestic markets
opening in Q3, with a much slower phased
opening of international markets. This would
limit the air travel recovery, despite most
forecasts pointing toward a strong economic
rebound late this year and during 2021.
• In 2021 we expect global passenger
demand (measured in revenue passenger
kilometers, RPKs) to be 24% below 2019
levels and 32% lower than IATA’s October
2019 Air Passenger forecast for 2021.
• We don’t expect 2019 levels to be
exceeded until 2023.
76
• As international markets open and economies recover, there will
be further growth in air travel from the 2020 low point. But even
by 2025 we would expect global RPKs to be 10% lower than the
previous forecast.
Pessimistic Scenario
• This is based on a slower opening of economies and relaxation of
travel restrictions, with lockdowns extending into Q3, possibly due
to a second wave of the virus. This would further delay the recovery
of air travel.
• In this case, global RPKs in 2021 could be 34% lower than 2019
levels and 41% below our previous forecast for 2021.
“Major stimulus from governments combined with liquidity
injections by central banks will boost the economic recovery
once the pandemic is under control. But rebuilding passenger
confidence will take longer. And even then, individual and
corporate travelers are likely to carefully manage travel spend and
stay closer to home,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director
General and CEO.

Long-Haul Travel Impact will be
Longer Lasting
When the recovery begins, it is
expected to be led by domestic travel.
• An IATA survey of recent air travelers
conducted in April 2020 found that
58% are somewhat or very likely to
restrict their initial travel to domestic
journeys.
• Domestic Revenue Passenger
Kilometers (RPKs) will only recover
to 2019 levels by 2022. International
RPKs are only expected to return to
2019 levels in 2024.
“The impacts of the crisis on long-haul travel will be much more severe and of a longer
duration than what is expected in domestic markets. This makes globally agreed and
implemented biosecurity standards for the travel process all the more critical. We have a
small window to avoid the consequences of uncoordinated unilateral measures that marked
the post-9.11 period. We must act fast,” said de Juniac.
Avoid Quarantine Measures
IATA strongly urges governments
to find alternatives to maintaining
or introducing arrival quarantine
measures as part of post-pandemic
travel restrictions. IATA’s April
survey of recent air travelers
showed that
• 86% of travelers were somewhat
or very concerned about being
quarantined while traveling, and
• 69% of recent travelers would not
consider travelling if it involved a
14-day quarantine period.
80
“Even in the best of circumstances
this crisis will cost many jobs
and rob the economy of years
of aviation-stimulated growth.
To protect aviation’s ability to be a catalyst for the economic recovery, we must
not make that prognosis worse by making travel impracticable with quarantine
measures. We need a solution for safe travel that addresses two challenges. It must
give passengers confidence to travel safely and without undue hassle. And it must
give governments confidence that they are protected from importing the virus. Our
proposal is for a layering of temporary non-quarantine measures until we have a
vaccine, immunity passports or nearly instant COVID-19 testing available at scale,”
said de Juniac.
IATA’s proposal for a temporary risk-based layered approach to provide governments
with the confidence to open their border without quarantining arrivals includes:
• Preventing travel by those who are symptomatic with temperature screening and
other measures
• Addressing the risks of asymptomatic travelers with governments managing a
robust system of health declarations and vigorous contact tracing.
The mutual recognition of agreed measures is critical for the resumption of
international travel. This is a key deliverable of the COVID-19 Aviation Recovery Task
Force (CART) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
“CART has a very big job to do with little time to waste. It must find an agreement
among states on the measures needed to control COVID-19 as aviation re-starts. And
it must build confidence among governments that borders can be opened to travelers
because a layered approach of measures has been properly implemented globally.
IATA and the whole industry support this critical work,” said de Juniac.

Vaccine R&D will be a Substantial
Beneficiary in Artificial
Intelligence
The “Artificial Intelligence in
Epidemiology Market by AI
Type, Infrastructure, Deployment
Model, and Services 2021 - 2026”
report recently released.
This global AI epidemiology and
public health market report provides
a comprehensive evaluation of the
positive impact that AI technology will
produce with respect to healthcare
informatics, and public healthcare
management, and epidemiology
analysis and response. The report
assesses the macro factors affecting
the market and the resulting need for
hardware and software technology
used in the public healthcare and
epidemiology informatics.
84
The macro factors include the growth
drivers and challenges of the market
along with the potential application
and usage areas in public health
industry verticals. The report also
provides the anticipated market
value of AI in the public health and
epidemiology informatics market
globally and regionally. This includes
core technology and AI-specific
technologies. Market forecasts cover
the period of 2021 - 2026.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
sees epidemiology as the study and analysis
of the distribution, patterns and determinants
of health and disease conditions in defined
populations. It is a cornerstone of public health
and shapes policy decisions and evidencebased
practice by identifying risk factors for
disease and targets for preventive healthcare.
This includes identification of the factors
involved with diseases transmitted by food and
water, acquired during travel or recreational
activities, bloodborne and sexually transmitted diseases, and nosocomial infections such
as hospital-acquired illnesses. Epidemiology is also concerned with the identification of
trends and predictive capabilities to prevent diseases.
Sources of disease data include medical claims data (commercial claims, Medicare),
electronic healthcare records (EHR) including medical treatment facilities and
pharmacies, death registries and socioeconomic data. It is important to note that some
data is highly structured whereas other data elements are highly unstructured, such as
data gathered from social media and Web scraping.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will increasingly be relied upon to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of transforming data correlation to meaningful insights and information. For
example, machine learning has been used to gather Web search and location data as a
means of identifying potential unsafe areas, such as restaurants involved in food-borne
illnesses.
The combination of data aggregation from multiple sources with machine learning and
advanced analytics will greatly improve the efficacy of epidemiology predictive models.
For example, machine learning allows epidemiologists to evaluate as many variables as
desired without increasing statistical error, a problem that often arises with multiple testing
bias, which is a condition that occurs when each additional test run on the data increases
the possibility for error against a hypothetical target result.

Another example of AI in epidemiology is the use of natural language processing to
capture clinical notes for preservation in EHR databases. As part of data capture and
identification of most important information, AI will also be used to validate key terms
to identify conditions, diagnoses and exposures that are otherwise difficult to capture/
identify through traditional data source mining. This will be used for data discovery and
validation as well as knowledge representation.
An extremely important and high growth area for AI in epidemiology is drug discovery,
safety, and risk analysis, which we anticipate will be a $699 million global market by
2026. Other high opportunity areas for AI are disease and syndromic surveillance,
infection prediction and forecasting, monitoring population and incidence of disease,
and use of AI in Immunization Information Systems (IIS). In addition to mapping
vaccinations to disease incidence, the IIS will leverage AI to identify the impact of
public sentiment analysis and for public safety services such as mass notification.
Select Report Findings:
The total global AI in the epidemiology market will reach USD $9.7 billion
by 2026
Machine learning in the epidemiology market will reach USD $1.2 billion
by 2026
Related to vaccine R&D, AI in drug discovery and risk analysis will reach
$699 million by 2026
AI will support various disease-related public health and safety services
such as mass notification
EHR databases will be the foundation, but AI will leverage many sources
for disease-related data aggregation
Epidemiologic predictive models will be dramatically improved through
advanced data analytics and various AI tools and techniques
AI improves the efficiency and effectiveness of transforming healthcare
data correlation to meaningful disease insights and information

Covid-T Clinical Development
Program Initiated Regulatory
Advisory Group Engaged
92
BioVaxys Technology Corp. (CSE: BIOV)
(FRA: 5LB) (OTC: LMNGF) (“BioVaxys”
or “Company”) is pleased to announce
that it has initiated the clinical development
program for Covid-T, the Company’s
novel diagnostic platform for detecting T-cell
activity. The US Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) has tentatively agreed to permit that
BioVaxys can file for a pre-Emergency Use
Authorization (“EUA”) for Covid-T. Under an
EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved
medical products, or unapproved uses of
approved medical products in an emergency
to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or
life-threatening diseases or conditions
when certain statutory criteria have been
met, including that there are no adequate,
approved, and available alternatives.
Covid-T addresses an unmet need for a lowcost,
easy-to-administer, and accurate tool to
test for the presence of T-cells which may offer
lasting protection against SARS-CoV-2.
It is believed that detection of T-cells can
potentially identify safe and/or at-risk
populations. Covid-T also provides an ability
to evaluate the effectiveness of any SARS-
CoV-2 vaccine candidate in stimulating T-cell
immunity. Mass availability of Covid-T would
complement antibody testing and various
public health risk mitigation strategies.
James Passin, CEO of BioVaxys, stated, “We
believe that our low cost, scalable, easy-toadminister
test for T cell immunity to SARS-
CoV-2 may help solve the urgent global public
health crisis of prioritizing the distribution
of Covid-19 vaccines; we look forward
to rapidly advancing Covid-T towards
commercialization.”
Current methods of measuring T-cell immunity
require drawing blood from the test subject,
followed by a time-consuming and expensive
analysis of the blood sample at laboratories
possessing specialized equipment.
Covid-T is based on the well-established
concept of Delayed Type Hypersensitivity
(“DTH”), the oldest and most reliable test of
human T lymphocyte function. The process
involves an intradermal “skin prick” of an
immunogenic composition of the SARS-CoV-2
S-protein, where an inflammatory response
develops 24-72 hours after skin exposure to the
s-spike antigen.
BioVaxys anticipates that once clinical testing
is complete, Covid-T would have the potential
for detecting differences in T-cell responses
between the original SARS-CoVC-2 virus and
the two new strains of SARS-Cov-2 the had
originally been identified in the UK and South
Africa---B.1.1.7 and 501Y.V2, respectively---
but which are spreading worldwide
“Although our vaccine programs are of major
importance to us, Covid-T is a priority for
BioVaxys, especially given the unmet need for
such a simple, disposable, and accurate tool to
test for the presence of T-cells against SARS-
CoV-2,” says BioVaxys President and Chief
Operating Officer Ken Kovan.
BioVaxys has prepared the clinical
development plan for Covid-T, and
engaged global regulatory advisory group
Rio Pharmaceutical Services (“RPS”) of
Bridgewater, NJ, to provide strategic regulatory
guidance, prepare an FDA pre-submission
guidance package, recommend regulatory
pathway, and support BioVaxys on the
registration filing.
RPS has provided pharmaceutical and
medical-device advisory services across the
entire drug, biologic and device development
and approval spectrum of the pharmaceutical
industry since 2000. Collectively, the RPS team
of pharmaceutical industry executives offers
nearly 150 years of experience in providing
advice and support services for medical,
scientific, clinical-trial and regulatory issues
to clients including a majority of Fortune 500
pharmaceutical companies.
Since Covid-T requires a biological
substance to be placed intradermally, a
nonclinical study will be needed to establish
the risk profile prior to the start of clinical
studies.
BioVaxys plans to shortly conduct a
GLP animal toxicology study, is currently
evaluating proposals from Contract Research
Organizations (CROs), and is in the process of
obtaining the appropriate cell lines, expression
systems, and licenses so as to produce its own
supply of SARS-CoV-2 s-spike protein.
The Company is not making any express
or implied claims that its product line has
the ability to eliminate, cure, or contain the
Covid-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time.

4 Best Ways to Ace that
Engineering Interview
Just like interviewers spend time researching and formulating
the right interview questions, interviewees should also prepare
adequately for an interview. Going the extra mile to prepare for an
interview can be daunting, but the results always pay off.
The basics of a candidate preparing for an interview include
researching the company, preparing to answer questions, getting
your interview clothes ready, and practising interview etiquette. Such
preparations can help you perform incredibly well on your big day.
However, preparing for an engineering interview is somewhat different,
and it is easier said than done. Some nitty-gritty aspects will reduce
your chances of getting selected if you don’t look into them before
heading for the interview.
96
Here is how to effectively prepare for an engineering interview.
Research the Company
This is the first step when preparing for any job interview. When
researching, candidates are most likely to identify basic things such
as a company’s goals and objectives, culture, and competitors, to
mention a few.
When researching an engineering company, there are other significant
things you ought to identify and familiarize yourself with.
Engineering companies are always looking for high-end
solutions to solve problems.
You can research the current technical issue the company is dealing
with, and during the interview, you can state how you will contribute to
the course. It can earn you more selection marks.
Prepare to Showcase Your Achievements
Whether you are fresh from college or have a few years of working
experience, you should prepare to present concrete achievements
when preparing for an engineering interview. This means showing how
and where you have applied your engineering skills.

If you have a solution to a specific
problem the company is facing,
showcasing how you solved a
past technical issue is vital. Your
interviewers may find this as a bonus
besides your degree.
It would be best to also boost your
skills with other degrees such as
different MBA specialisations or any
other practical course along with such
achievements.
Improve Your Technical
Knowledge
Engineering entails practical work
skills and knowledge. If you want
to ace that interview, it would be
best to plan and work on your
technical knowledge. Most engineers
who have just graduated and are
looking forward to finding the right
employment always miss out on
opportunities for lacking enough
technical knowledge.
To boost how you will perform at the
interview, you should start by revising
all your university notes. Employers
always look forward to assessing
your ability level of understanding
and answering interview questions
by providing technical answers and
solutions.
So, while preparing, ensure you
familiarize yourself with all the
engineering concepts you learned in
the university to appear qualified for
the job.
100
Be Yourself
Like any other interview session, you ought to be yourself.
It would be best if you tried to be as natural as you
possibly can. Employers want to know more about you in
a natural way rather than someone who recites who they
are.
It would also be best to find a proper balance between
your achievements and some of your failures. For
instance, if you can be honest about something you
did and didn’t work out how you had imagined it, your
potential employers might appreciate such honesty.
Additionally, try to learn more about the people who
will be interviewing you to have formal and informal
interactions during the interview. With the above tips,
nothing can prevent you from getting selected.

5 Preventative Maintenance Tips
For Industrial Vehicles
A
report by the Philippine National Police reveals that human error accounts for about 9 in
ten vehicle accidents nationwide, according to Yahoo News. Distracted driving and driving
under the influence are common causes of vehicle crashes. However, mechanical failure
in automobiles is a common cause of accidents, especially in the industrial sector. That’s why
keeping industrial vehicles in excellent working conditions is crucial. Routine inspections and
maintenance boost efficiency and reduce the risk of breakdowns caused by engine problems
and brake failure while driving. Below are a few preventative maintenance tips for industrial
vehicles you should prioritize.
Inspect Brakes Regularly
Operating on faulty brakes is dangerous
because you’ll have no control over
your truck or tractor. In most cases,
dysfunctional brakes cause drivers to
steer on one side of the road leading to
catastrophic accidents. To prevent crashing
into objects, people, and other vehicles,
make it a habit to inspect your brakes
regularly. Watch out for wear and tear in
brake lines, pads, and discs. Also, be
cautious of leaking brake fluids, vibrations,
squealing noises, and soft brake pedals.
These are signs your brakes are failing and
require repairs or replacements. Prioritizing
brake maintenance is key to ensuring your
truck stops safely, especially when carrying
heavy loads or driving in dangerous terrain.
104
Prioritize Lubrication
Keeping loaders and trucks well
lubricated using high-quality
lubricants should be a top priority.
As simple as it may sound, applying
lubricants on various vehicle parts
prevents wear and tear. As a
general rule of thumb, lubricate all
truck components before hauling
any load. Inspect the drivetrain
for leaks and slops. Failure to do
so often leads to breakdowns and
expensive repairs.
Check Fluid Levels
Checking fluid levels in truck
components, such as the engine,
coolant, transmission, and brake
systems, is one of the best ways
to avoid mechanical failure in
industrial automobiles. This step
helps you detect whether you have
a fluid leak or overconsumption
problem. Typically, a drop in fluid
levels between inspections shows
a mechanical problem in the
truck or skid steer needs repairs
immediately.

Monitor The Tires
Tires require proper maintenance as they play a
critical role in ensuring tractor-trailers, skid steers, and
other industrial vehicles function efficiently and safely.
Since tires are your primary contact with the road
whenever you’re driving, ensure they are correctly
inflated. Remember, under-inflated tires reduce
fuel efficiency and affect weight distribution. This
causes problems with traction, braking, steering, and
alignment. Over-inflated tires blow out and cause fatal
accidents. Therefore, commit to inspecting your truck’s
tire pressure and inflate them properly. Also, check
the tread depth to ensure you can operate safely in
and around the job site. In the case the tread depth
doesn’t meet the set requirements, replace your tires.
Investing in rubber tire tracks is an excellent option if
you’re operating a compact track loader. Tire tracks
boost traction when driving on mud, ice, or loose sand,
increasing safety and productivity.
108
Change Oils
Besides checking fluids, consider changing oils in your industrial
vehicle engine at least every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. However, it’s
advisable to change oils based on how you use compact track
loaders, utility vehicles, and forklifts. For example, if you drive
industrial trucks or tractors under extreme temperatures or haul
heavy loads, change your oils more frequently. Doing so helps
prolong your engine’s lifespan.
Maintaining industrial vehicles in excellent working conditions
is essential if you are looking at increasing productivity and
safety. So, get into the habit of changing engine oils, keeping
your vehicle components lubed, replacing worn-out brakes, and
ensuring tires are well inflated. Also, test the battery, engine, and
electrical systems for faults, and carry out the repairs.
