Radiator
Inspect the radiator hoses and clamps for wear, leakage,
or damage. Make sure the hoses are not hardened,
cracked, or feel spongy. Make sure the cap is in place
and tight.
Coolant leaks are easily visible on the ground. Check
under the chassis for coolant that has leaked.
Make sure the radiator core and ventilation openings on
the cover are free of bugs, dirt, or foreign material that
might restrict airflow.
Fuel Tank
Check the fuel level (refer to Figure 7.4) and add fuel if
necessary. Make sure the cap is securely fastened on
gasoline or diesel tanks.

Fuel Line
Visually inspect the entire length of the fuel line for leaks
and damage. Start at the fuel tank and trace the line to
the engine inspecting.

The air filter gauge (refer to Figure 7.6) has an indicator to
show when the filter needs replaced.
