Before Starting
Usage:
Perform required periodic maintenance before starting the engine. Make a "walk-around" inspection of the installation. It only takes a few minutes to correct minor discrepancies. This can prevent major repairs at a later date.
- 1. Inspect the air cleaner service indicator. If the red piston is locked in the raised position, service the air cleaner.
- 2. Inspect the coolant level. If two radiators are used, inspect the coolant level in both. Coolant level should be .50 inch (1 cm) of the bottom of the filler necks.
- 3. Measure the crankcase oil level. The oil level must be between the ADD and FULL marks on the dipstick.
- 4. Inspect the fuel level.
