operate,conduct a pre-tip inspection at the beginning of each work period.Folow the steps below and checkthem off to assure a proper vehicle inspection procedure.The pages in this section may be reproduced locally and used on a regular basis.  \n1.Engine Compartment-with the engine stoped.check the following:  \nOil Level-Use dip stick to verify that the oil level is between the full and refill mark.  \nCoolant Level-Look at sight glass of reservoir,or remove the radiator cap to see the level.Adequate level will show in sightglass or be visible in the radiator when the cap is removed.Do Not Remove Radiator CapUntil Radiator Has Cooled.See CoolingSystem in Section B.  \nPower Steering Fluid-Use the dip stick to verify that the fluid level is between the full and refill mark.  \nWater Pump-With engine off,touch or press belt to test that it is snug.Check for frays,cracks,loose fibers,or visible signs ofwear.If it deflects more than¹/2 to³/4 of an inch,slippage is probably excessive.  \nAlternator-Check belts the same as for Water Pump.  \nAir Compressor-Check belts (if so equipped)the same as for Water Pump.  \nFreon Compressor--Check belts (if so equipped)the same as for Water Pump.  \nAny Leaks-Check for signs of fluid puddles,or dripping fluids on the ground under the engine,or the underside of the engine.  \n1  \n# 2.Engine Start\n\nSafety/Emergency Equipment-Prior to entering cab,verify that vehicle is equipped with electrical fuses (if used);3 redreflective triangles;and a properly charged and rated fire extinguisher,and wheel chocks.When entering cab,verify that grabhandles and steps are tight and clean;use extreme caution and maintain 3 point contact at all times.  \nClutch/Gearshift-Depress clutch(if manual transmission)and verify transmission is in neutral before turning on starter;keepdepressed until engine reaches idling speed.  \nOil Pressure Builds-Check to see that oil pressure is building to normal.Engine oil temperature gauge should begin a gradualrise to normal operating range.  \nAir Buzzer Sounds-If the air pressure is low,the low air pressure waming should sound immediately after the engine starts but  \nbefore the air compressor has built up pressure.Let the air pressure build to governed cut-out pressure,which should occur between  \n100-125 psi.The low air pressure warning should stop when the air pressure gets to 60 psi or more.  \nAccelerator-Depress accelerator pedal and verify that it operates smoothly without any binding or irregular feel.Remove footfrom accelerator and make sure engine returns to idle immediately.  \nAmmeter/Voltmeter -Check that the gauge shows alternator or generator is charging.  \nSteering Play-Check for excessive looseness in the steering linkages;it should have less than 10 degrees free play(approximately 2 inches at rim of 20 inch steering wheel).  \nHorn(s)-Check to see that horn works.  \nMirrors,Windshield-check mirrors for proper adjustment;check for cracks or loosefittings.Make sure the mirrors areclean.Check the windshield for cracks,dirt,illegal stickers or other obstructions to view.  \nWipers-Check for worn rubber on blades;blades secure on wiper arm;and that wipers work.  \nLighting Indicators-Check to see that indicators illuminate when coresponding lights are turned on.  \nHeater/Defroster-Check to be sure heater/defroster is working.  \nAir Brake Check-Check the air brakes in the following manner:  \n1.  Chock wheels if necessary.P","cbCaicRkjXJ16Dvf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicRkjXJ16Dvf","pdf",54912436,243,"English","# Engine Compartment\n## Engine Start\n# Front of Vehicle\n## Front Suspension","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this vehicle inspection guide?\",\"answer\":\"It ensures the vehicle is ready to operate by providing a pre-trip inspection procedure at the beginning of each work period.\"},{\"question\":\"Which checks are required for the engine compartment before operating?\",\"answer\":\"Verify oil level, coolant level (with the radiator cap only after cooling), power steering fluid level, water pump belt condition, alternator and compressor belts (if equipped), and check for any leaks or dripping fluids.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the air brake system be checked?\",\"answer\":\"Chock wheels if needed, verify air compressor/governor cut-out pressure, perform a one-minute air pressure drop test, check leak limits with the brake pedal held, confirm warning light and buzzer behavior, test tractor protection and parking brake knob pop-out ranges, then restart and confirm braking hold in a low gear.\"}]","Vehicle Inspection Guide - Pre-trip Inspection Checklist | PDF",612]
