Pre-Trip Inspection and Daily Maintenance
45
Daily Maintenance
The following should be checked daily in
addition to doing the pre-trip inspection of
the truck or tractor and trailer.
While checking the fluid levels, visually in-
spect hoses, pipes and their connections for
signs of leakage. Inspect the ground under
engine, transmission and rear axle(s) for
signs of leakage.
Before working on or inspecting a vehi-
cle, set the parking brakes, place the
transmission in neutral and block the
wheels . Failure to do so can result in
unexpected vehicle movement and can
cause serious personal injury or death.
Check coolant level in the coolant tank.
The level should be above the minimum
mark shown on the side of the tank.
WARNING
Do not remove the cap to the surge tank
while the engine and radiator are still
hot and under pressure. Scalding fluid
and/or steam may be blown out under
pressure if the cap is taken off too soon.
If the coolant level is low, add more
coolant to the tank so the level is above the
minimum mark. Coolant should be filled
through the cap in the middle of the tank.
CAUTION
To prevent cooling system damage, add
only pre-mixed coolant made up of 50%
clean water and 50% antifreeze. See the
“
Operator’s Manual, Maintenance &
Engine
” for more detailed information.
