Which of the following is NOT included in daily checks?

• A. Exterior lights
• B. Pump primer
• C. Fuel tank
• D. Hose lines

Answer: (A)

Daily checks focus on the readiness of the water delivery system itself—the parts that must work for you to pump water reliably. The pump primer is checked because it ensures the pump can be primed and deliver water without air leaks. The fuel tank is checked to confirm there’s enough fuel for operation and to spot any leaks or contamination. Hose lines are checked for wear, damage, leaks, and proper connections so water can move from the source to the target without interruptions. Exterior lights, while important for safety and visibility during operations, are not part of the water-pumping readiness and are typically covered under separate vehicle safety or exterior inspection procedures.
