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.

Figure 7.4 – Gasoline or Diesel Tank

Use the following procedure to change the LPG tank.

1. Close the shutoff valve (refer to Figure 7.5).

5. Place a full tank in the cradle making sure the slot in

the tank aligns with the pin.

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.

Air Filter

The air filter gauge (refer to Figure 7.6) has an indicator to

show when the filter needs replaced.
