CHASSIS INFORMATION
Make a visual check for fuel leaks at all engine-mounted fuel lines
and connections and at the fuel tank pick-up and return lines. Leaks in this
area may best be detected by checking for accumulation of fuel under the
tank. Engine performance and auxiliary equipment is dependent upon the
ability of flexible hoses to transfer lubricating oil, air, coolant and fuel oil.
Diligent maintenance of hoses is an important step in ensuring efficient,
economical and safe operation of engine and related equipment.
INSPECT: Check hoses daily as part of the pre-start-up inspection.
Examine hoses for leaks. Check all fittings, clamps and ties careful-
ly. Make sure that the hoses are not touching shafts, couplings and
heated surfaces, including exhaust manifolds, sharp edges or other
obvious hazardous areas. Since all machinery vibrates and moves
to a certain extent, clamps and ties can fatigue with age. To ensure
continued proper support, inspect fasteners frequently and tighten
or replace them as necessary.
Engine oil levels above the dipstick full mark, or a decrease in lube
oil consumption, may indicate internal fuel leaks into the crankcase. Check
oil level frequently for fuel contamination.
On a walk around and pre-check of the motorhome, look for oil leaks
under the coach and around hose fittings. If a hose connection appears to be
leaking, clean the filter and the surrounding area. If seepage continues, have
the problem corrected to prevent an untimely failure.
The power steering reservoir with internal filter is located at the rear of
the engine. The hydraulic filter assembly, located inside the reservoir, is rated
at ten micron*. The reservoir is filled with Dexron-III® Automatic
Transmission Fluid from the factory.
Filter assembly: Nelson 910048A
Element number: 83213D (ten micron*)
The primary function of the power steering reservoir is to keep the
steering system free of contamination and to dissipate excessive heat that
builds during extreme operating conditions.
Check the oil level in the reservoir every 6,000 miles or three months.
The oil dipstick fill is located on top of the reservoir in the rear compartment.
The oil level should be kept between the full and add marks on the dipstick.
If adding of fluid is required, use only Dexron-III® Automatic Transmission
Fluid.
