When performing a daily inspection, what must be completed?

When performing a daily inspection, focusing on the cam for proper index setting is crucial because it directly affects the functioning and safety of the equipment. The cam mechanism is integral to the timing and operation of various processes in machinery. If the cam is not correctly indexed, it could lead to operational inefficiencies or potentially dangerous situations, as it may cause the equipment to perform actions out of sequence or not perform them at all. Ensuring that the cam is set correctly maintains the integrity of the equipment's performance and enhances safety.

Other options, while important aspects of maintenance, do not encompass the critical operational role of the cam mechanism in the daily functionality of the equipment. Each of those checks contributes to overall safety and functionality but does not carry the same immediate implications for operational effectiveness as verifying the cam's index setting.
