Question: A loader is experiencing consistent 'hard starting' in cold weather, even after the glow plugs have cycled. The battery has been recently tested and is in good condition. What preventive maintenance check is most relevant to address this issue?

Answer options:

  • Checking the tire pressure. ✅ Inspecting the fuel filter for clogging and water accumulation.
  • Lubricating the bucket pins and bushings.
  • Adjusting the rearview mirrors.

Correct answer: Inspecting the fuel filter for clogging and water accumulation.

Explanation: Hard starting, especially in cold weather, often indicates an issue with fuel delivery, such as a clogged fuel filter or water in the fuel, which can freeze and block flow. A clean fuel system is critical for reliable engine starting. Tire pressure, lubrication, and mirror adjustments are important for other aspects of operation but not directly related to engine starting issues.
