THE DAILY ROUTINE
CHECK LIST
Each day before starting your engine, take a few
moments to run this check list:
o Visually inspect the engine for fuel, oil, or water
leaks.
o Check the oil level (dipstick).
o Check the transmission fluid level.
o Check for loose wires at the alternator.
o Check the starting batteries level (weekly)
o Check drive belts for wear and proper tension
(weekly).
o Log your engine running time. These hours relate to
scheduled maintenance.
o Check fuel supply; always keep fuel tank(s) as full as
possible.
o Look for clean fuel in the fuel/water separator bowl.
o Check the coolant level in the plastic recovery tank.
NOTE: Excessive loss of coolant indicates a cooling sys-
tem leak. Check the entire system.
If necessary, use a
cooling system pressure tester to pressurize the cooling
system to locate the area
of leakage. In cases of excessive
coolant loss, refill the system as outlined
in Preparations
for Initial
Start-Up in this manual.
