What should be done when engine coolant level is confirmed low?

When the engine coolant level is confirmed to be low, it is crucial to immediately report to a supervisor. This action prioritizes safety and ensures that the issue is addressed appropriately. Low coolant levels can lead to serious engine overheating, which could result in damage or failure. By informing a supervisor, you not only ensure that the proper protocols are followed, but you also have the opportunity to receive guidance on the next steps, whether it involves checking for leaks, determining the cause of the low level, or seeking additional resources for coolant.

Keeping safety and equipment integrity in mind is essential, and reporting the situation allows trained personnel to take the necessary actions to rectify the problem. This response is part of a standard safety practice within the operational protocols for mobile pump operators, emphasizing communication and teamwork as critical components in maintaining equipment and ensuring safe operations.
