OM3023 10/00 Operation - Section 3 Operating Instructions Page 3-3 9. Move to the hydraulic tank and check the hydraulic fluid levels for both the Steering & Hoist tank (1) and the Brake Cooling Oil tank (2). Oil should be visible in each sight glass with engine stopped and body down. 17. Move on around the right dual tires. Inspect between the tires for rocks, and for condition of the rock ejector; inspect the tires for cuts or damage, and for correct inflation. 18. Perform same inspection for wheel lugs/wedges, wheel cover latches, and for leaks that was done on the left hand dual wheels. 19. Move in front of right dual tires, and inspect the remaining hoist cylinder. 10.
Inspect around the hydraulic tank and in front of the rear dual tires. Inspect the hoist cylinder for any damage and leaks. Ensure lower guard is in place. Inspect both upper and lower hoist cyl- inder pins for security, and for proper greasing. 20. Move to the fuel tank; inspect the attaching hard- ware for the fuel tank at the upper saddles, and then at the lower back of the tank for the secu- rity and condition of the mounts. 11. Before leaving this position, look to see that there is no leakage or any other unusual condi- tion with transmission or drive shaft. 12. Move on around the dual tires, check to see that all lugs/wedges are in place and tight.
Inspect wheel for any leakage that may be coming from inside the wheel housing that would indicate planetary leakage. Inspect the fuel gauge (2) and note the quantity indicated. Compare this indication later against the fuel gauge reading in the instrument panel of the operator cab. Check dual tires for cuts, damage or "bubbles" and that inflation appears to be correct. Inspect for any rocks that might be lodged between dual tires, and that rock ejector is in good condition and straight so that it can not damage a tire. 21. Move in behind the right front wheel, and inspect the tie-rod pivots and steering cylinder for proper greasing, and for security of all parts.
Be sure the suspension protective cover is in good condition. Check suspension attaching hard- ware and suspension extension, as well as greasing and attaching hardware for the steer- ing cylinder. 13. Inspect left rear suspension for damage, leaks and for proper charging. Check for proper greasing. Ensure covers over the chrome piston rod are in good condition. 14. Check final drive housing breather. Replace breather if obstructed. Check for leakage around final drive housing, oil disc brake hous- ings and connecting hoses. 22. Move out and around the right front wheel, ensure all lugs/wedges are in place and tight. 23.
Move in behind the front of the right front wheel, check hub and brakes for leaks and any unusual condition. Inspect the engine compart- ment for any leaks and unusual condition. Inspect the fan guard, and belts also for any rags or debris behind radiator. 15. While standing behind final drive housing, look up to see that rear lights are in good con- dition, along with back up horns. Inspect link- age rods to see that they are getting proper greasing in all pin loca- tions. Also look at both body hinge pins for greasing and any abnormal condition. 24. With engine stopped, check engine oil level.
The dipsticks of some engines may be marked on both sides; one side marked "With Engine Stopped" , and other side marked "With Engine Running" . Normal check is with engine running, and at operating temperature. Refer to Section P, Lubrication & Service, 10 Hour (Daily) Inspection. Drain moisture from rear brake air tank by pull- ing chain (1) on moisture drain valve. Check that the engine oil filters or oil lines to fil- ters are not leaking. 16. Perform the same inspection on the right rear suspension as done on the left. 25. Move on around to the right front of the truck.
