Check the Engine Coolant Level

Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is
essential to engine service life. Improper coolant
level will affect the engine's cooling capability and
damage engine components. Daily checks will
allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant
level that might indicate cooling system problems.

1 Check the fluid level in the coolant recovery

tank. Add fluid as needed.

Bodily injury hazard. Fluids in the radiator are
under pressure and extremely hot. Use
caution when removing cap and adding fluids.

Scheduled Maintenance
