P
DOOR LATCHES
— Check that doors close, latch and lock tightly.
Check for broken, damaged or missing parts that might prevent tight
latching.
Q
TILT CAB (DRIVING POSITION)
— Be sure the tilt lever is down
and locked.
R
FLUID LEAKS
— Check for fuel, water, oil or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the vehicle after it has been parked
for a while. If you notice diesel fumes or fluid at any time, have the
cause found and corrected at once.
S
UNDERBODY
— Corrosive materials used for ice removal, snow
removal and dust control can collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on
underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust
system. At least every spring, flush these materials from the
underbody with plain water. Take care to clean well any areas where
mud and other debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas
of the frame should be loosened before being flushed.
