Abstract: An operator training system for a machine is disclosed. The operator training system comprises an interface in communication with a machine and a processor communicatively coupled to the interface. The processor is configured to receive, via the interface, operation data associated with operation of the machine. The processor is further configured to determine an operator performance value for an operator of the machine based on the received operation data. The processor is also configured to compare the operator performance value with a benchmark value. The processor is further configured to provide one or more training tools to the operator if the operator performance value is less than the benchmark value.

Abstract: A slack adjuster check tool includes a holding member formed of flanges to engage a slack adjuster and a retention hook and/or chain to hold the tool in place on a slack adjuster. The retention member is located between the holding member and the handle to allow the user to observe the slack by exerting force on the handle to determine how much freedom of movement there is in the slack adjuster. Openings are provided in the holding member to provide direct access to adjustment heads on slack adjusters.
