• Suspension Components - check for
loose or missing fasteners. Check
damage to springs or other
suspension parts such as cracks,
gouges, distortions, bulges or
chafing.
• Brake Lines and Hoses - check
lines, linkages, chambers, parking
and service brake operation.
• Air System - What is the Air
System? on page 155
• Steps and Grab Handles
• Frame Mounted Tanks (Fuel, Diesel
Exhaust Fluid, etc) - check
underneath the vehicle for signs of
fluid leaks. If any are found, correct
before operating the vehicle. Is the
tank fill cap secure? Are the tank
straps tight? Is the strap webbing in
place?
• Trailer Connections - are they
secure and the lines clear? If they
are not being used, are they stored
properly? Is the trailer spare wheel
secure and inflated? Is the landing
gear up and the handle secured?
• Fifth Wheel - Is the kingpin or the
sliding fifth wheel locked?
Cab Interior
• Seat - adjust the seat for easy reach
of controls and visibility.
• Seat Belts - fasten and adjust safety
restraint belts (which may include
restraints in the sleeper).
• Steering Column - adjust for easy
reach and visibility.
• Mirrors - check and readjust mirrors
if necessary.
• Lights - turn ignition key to the ON
position and check for warning lights
and buzzer. Check operation of turn
signals and emergency lights.
• Instruments - check all instruments.
• Windshield - check operation of
windshield wipers and washers.
• Horn - check operation of horn.
• Fuel - check fuel. Is there enough
fuel?
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid - check level.
Is there enough fluid?
• Air conditioning filters in the cab
and/or Sleeper - check the condition
of the sleeper air conditioning air
filter. Keep the sleeper floor area
behind the passenger front seat
clear of debris and pet hair. The
sleeper air conditioner draws air
from this area and excessive dirt or
pet hair may shorten the service life
of the sleeper air conditioning air
filter.
