The hydraulic design sign shall be inspected ______ to verify that it is provided, attached securely to the rider and legible.

• A. daily
• B. weekly
• C. monthly
• D. annually

Answer: (D)

Keeping essential system information accessible and readable is crucial. The hydraulic design sign carries the system’s design data and must be present, securely attached, and legible for responders and maintenance personnel. Because this information doesn’t change frequently, it’s checked on an annual basis to confirm it’s provided, properly mounted to the rider, and easy to read. During the inspection, look for existence, secure attachment (no loose mounting), and legibility (no fading or damage). Daily or weekly checks would be unnecessary for a static sign, and monthly checks would be more frequent than needed; yearly inspection aligns with other annual maintenance practices and helps ensure the sign remains a reliable reference.
