## What's the Difference Between TA-1 & TA-2?

A Technical Analysis Level 1 ( TA-1) or Technical Analysis Level 2 (TA-2) inspection can be done by an experienced technician at the customer's jobsite or the dealership. These inspections can be **beneficial by maximizing the machines life, increasing productivity and helping to avoid unplanned downtime**.

**TA-1 inspection is a visual inspection of the machine**. The technician performs:

- Fluids level, color and condition checks
- Leak checks
- Sealing condition checks
- Visible structural checks
- Noise checks
- Broken, loose or missing parts check

 

**TA-2 inspection is a detailed inspection** of the machine's systems and components. The technician performs all of the above plus:

- Pressure Checks
- Cycle time checks
- Cylinder drift checks
- Back to factory standards
- Fault codes download
- S.O.S
