Himamaylan City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through the
Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production) Learning Activity

Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to guide the learners in
accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the contextualized
resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in acquiring the
lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production) Activity Sheet will

help you facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most
Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face
encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners
with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

 The TLE 10 – AFA (Agricultural Crop Production) Activity Sheet is
developed to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This
learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for

Checking Materials, Tools and Equipment

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO 1. Prepare materials, tools and equipment for irrigation work

(TLE_AFAC9- 12IW-IIIa-e-1)

1.2 Check the materials, tools and equipment based on manufacturer’s lists
and pre-operating procedures and report those with insufficient or faulty items
to the authority

II. Background Information for Learners

The materials, tools and equipment play very important role in farm
operation. Their availability makes the work of man easier and faster.
However, we need to think our safety first before using them. Reading and
familiarizing the operations manual helps the farmer to use the equipment
and tools efficiently and attain their maximum usage. Through checking our
farm materials, tools, and equipment prior to our operation we can
immediately determine whether it has faults/defects. In that case, we are
aware that they need immediate attention to avoid accidents in oneself.
Using the right tools and equipment for the specific farm operation
makes it easier and more economical. For safety reasons, whenever using
these farm tools and equipment, always do the following:

1. Always Remember to Check Equipment before Operating

A pre-operational check of all the equipment to be used will assure the
user that it is in a safe operating condition. Check the tires for proper
inflation and defects, windows for visibility, seat position, seat belts,
brakes for adjustment, steering response, rear view mirrors, slow-moving
vehicle emblem, reflectors, and running lights for day or nighttime
operation.

1
2. Safety Check
Walk around the tractor, hand tractor, thresher, reaper and any
attached implement checking the area for obstacles that may be under or
near the tractor which include stones, boards, children's toys etc. Make
sure there are no bystanders; remember this is a working area. Check
whether the wheels are free or stuck in the ground. Check for any loose
parts or objects on the tractor such as tools on the platforms or around
brakes and other controls.

3. Inspect around
Walk around the tractor, hand tractor a second time to check the
equipment itself. This time look at the tires for wear and inflation, the
power take-off shaft for shielding and guarding (rotate the shield to make
sure it moves freely), the hitch for proper hitch pin and safety clip. Pay
particular attention to the ground under the tractor for any signs of liquid
leaks such as oil, coolant, or fuel.

4. Check the oil of all engines attached to machineries to be used

Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and check the oil level. If oil is
required, remember to wipe off the filler cap before you remove it to avoid
dirt falling into the engine. Use a clean funnel and clean the top of the oil
can to prevent rust or other foreign objects going in with the oil.

5. Check the radiator

Slowly remove the red cap and check the liquid level.

6. Check the air pre-cleaner and air cleaner.

Remove and shake out any dirt.

7. Always check the fuel gauge

Fill if necessary, through it should have been filled at the end of the last
day the tractor was used.

8. Have a fire extinguisher.

Your tractor should have a fire extinguisher in case of fire during
operation or refueling and in area of storage and milling. Make sure it is
charged and easily accessible.

Remember:
Smooth operations of all machines are ensured if periodic maintenance
is done. These can affect performance and your safety!
