Aralin 1Intermediate checks sa bawat hakbang: pagsusukat ng timbang, balanse, straightness, at visual inspection pointsDito ay magtatag ka ng routine ng intermediate checks sa bawat yugto. Susukatin mo ang timbang, balanse, straightness, at stiffness, magre-record ng mga value, at gagamitin ang visual inspection points upang maagang mahuli ang mga problema bago maging irreversible.
