PRE-SHIFT INSPECTION
1. Check for and tighten any hydraulic fittings that may loosen. Fittings will frequently
loosen and drip the first few weeks of operation.
2. Visually inspect the area around the truck for leakage. Repair any leaks identified
during inspection. This inspection should include the interior of all compartments.
3. Visually inspect the body mounts daily for tightness. Loose body mounts are
indicated by mud build-up cracking away, or by visible gaps between mounting
components. Refer to maintenance section and tighten any loose mounts before
operating vehicle.
4. Visually inspect all tanks mounts using step #4 as a guideline.
5. Check for loose hoses and/or wiring harnesses which may become entangled
during operations. Secure any loose items before operating the vehicle.
6. Perform any other pre-operation inspections as required by the chassis
manufacturer or required by local procedures.
7. On hose reels, if so equipped, apply one pump with a manual grease gun to the
reel bearing every 2 months.
