That's pretty common for them to not do that check
The thought is it's brand new equipment.Unless they have had it come back to bite them in the keister
I try to train my guys to double check that stuff when doing a new equipment check. And yes, I had four brand new pieces of rental equipment bite me in the booty because of that. The manufacturer of the equipment switched to a different company for the manufacturing of the wiring harness. One of the jumper pieces in the wiring harness was missing the wire for the exciter to the alternator.That quick check would have saved me an embarrassing service call at 2am
