MAINTENANCE

A. DAILY INSPECTION

Perform the following daily, or according to operating

conditions.

1. Over-all visual inspection of engine. Look for

evidence of fluid leakage on floor, cylinder head and

block, indicating loose fuel, oil or water connections -

tighten if found.

2. Check oil level.

3. Fill with clean fuel. This should be done at end

of day's operation to prevent condensation forming in

tank. Clean filler cap and area around spout before

filling to prevent entrance of dust into fuel system.

4. Check air cleaner. (Fig. 64) 5. Check oil

pressure.

Figure 63.

prevent vacuum and pressure leaks. Clean all electrical

terminals and connect wires. Connect vacuum lines

2. Fill hydraulic tank, engine and transmission,

with specified oils.

3. Connect and tighten fuel lines. Check fuel

supply and replace battery.

should rise as lubricating system is charged. This takes

several seconds.

CAUTION

Shut-down engine if oil pressure

does not rise within a reasonable
