Perform the following inspections and checks before each
startup, as designated, and at regular intervals as noted in
the service schedule.
1. Air Inlets - Check for clean and unclogged air inlets.
2. Air Shrouding- Ensure the enclosure is securely fas-
tened and positioned correctly.
3. Battery- Check for proper electrolyte level. Make sure
all battery connections are secure.
4. Coolant Level- Check the reservoir for proper levels.
5. Exhaust System- Check for exhaust leaks and block-
ages. Check the silencer and piping condition and check
for tight exhaust component connections.
Inspect the exhaust parts (exhaust manifold, catalyst, ex-
haust hose, hose clamps, silencer and outlet
fl apper) for
cracks, leaks and corrosion.
Check hoses for cracks, softness, dents, or leaks. Replace
as necessary.
Check for corroded or broken metal parts. Replace as
necessary.
Check for loose, missing or corroded hose clamps. Re-
place or tighten the hose clamps and hangers as needed.
Check that the exhaust outlet is unobstructed.
Visually inspect for exhaust leaks (blow-by). Check for
carbon or soot residue on exhaust parts which indicate an
exhaust leak. Seal leaks as needed.
