How do I record unit health checks?

Summary

Unit Check Sheets can be recorded manually or using Platinum Online.

More Information

Units: Unit is a general term used to cover all types of vehicle and machinery, including items such as motorcycles, scooters, cars, trucks, vans, caravans, motorhomes, boats, tractors, ATVs, agricultural equipment, wholegoods and construction equipment.

Regardless of the method used, results other than 'Pass' will create advisories against the unit. These can be reported on and reminders sent using the retention centre.
