Daily Care And Report
Usage:
A daily check of the engine should be made to prevent premature engine failure. If corrective steps are taken immediately on discovery of loose or worn parts, fewer forced stops and a more economical operation will result. If any substandard readings or observations are found, be sure to report it to the maintenance supervisor. Some points to be checked daily are as follows:
- 1. Oil, air, water or fuel leaks.
- 2. Cooling system, clean radiator core, add coolant or anti-freeze as necessary. Be sure filler cap seal is in good condition and the cap is installed tightly.
- 3. Unusual engine noise.
- 4. Excessive use of crankcase lubricating oil, coolant, battery fluid or fuel.
- 5. Air cleaner indicator (if so equipped). Service air cleaner when red piston remains in up position.
- 6. Do not allow dirt to accumulate on the engine. A few minutes spent daily in keeping it clean are well repaid in improved appearance, and greater ease and safety in operation and maintenance.
- 2. Cooling system, clean radiator core, add coolant or anti-freeze as necessary. Be sure filler cap seal is in good condition and the cap is installed tightly.
