Operating Instructions - Section 30 7/09 OM3050 Page 30-4 14. Look under the lower edge of the chassis to ensure that the flexible duct that carries the air from the main blower to the final drive housing is in good condition. Also look up at the main hydraulic pumps to see if there is any leakage or any other unusual condition with the pumps or pump drive shafts. 23. Move around fuel tank (12). Inspect the fuel gauge. This should agree with the fuel gauge in the cab. Inspect the attaching hardware for the fuel tank at the upper saddles and at the lower back side of the tank. Check the hoist filters for leaks. 24. Move in behind the right front wheel.
Check that the steering cylinder is properly greased and the attaching hardware is secure. Check the suspension attaching hardware and suspension extension. Ensure that the suspension protective boot is in good condition. Inspect the hub and brakes for any unusual conditions. Check the entire area for leaks. 15. Move around the left side dual tires. Check that all wheel nuts/studs are in place and tight. Inspect the wheel for any oil that would indicate brake leakage or wheel motor leakage. 16. Check the dual tires for cuts, damage, and bubbles. Verify that tire inflation is correct. If the truck has been run on a "flat," the tire must be cooled before moving the truck inside.
Check for any rocks that might be lodged between the dual tires. 25. Move out and around the right front wheel. Check that all wheel nuts/studs are in place and tight. 17. Inspect the left rear suspension for damage, correct rod exposure, and leaks. Ensure that the covers over the chrome piston rod are in good condition. 26. Move behind the front of the right front wheel. Check the hub and brakes for leaks and any unusual conditions. Check that the steering cylinder is secure and properly greased. Inspect the engine compartment for any leaks and unusual conditions. Inspect the fan guard and belts. Check the fuel filters for leaks. Check for any debris behind the radiator. 18.
While standing at the rear hatch, look up to check that the rear lights and back-up horns are in good condition. Look up at panhard rod to check that it is properly greased. Also check both body hinge pins for proper greasing and any abnormal condition. Check the hoist limit switch and clear any mud or debris from the contacts. 27. Move around to the right front of the truck. Empty the dust collectors on the right side air cleaner assemblies. (A ladder may be necessary to reach the air cleaners.) If equipped, check the oil level in the reserve tank. 19. Perform the same inspections on the right rear suspension. 28.
As you move in front of radiator (3), remove any debris that is stuck in front of the radiator. Check for any coolant leaks. Inspect the headlights and fog lights. 20. Move around the right side dual tires. Inspect between the tires for rocks. Inspect the tires for cuts, damage and proper inflation. 21. Check that all wheel nuts/studs are in place and tight. Inspect the wheel for any oil that would indicate brake leakage or wheel motor leakage. 22. Move in front of right dual tires. Inspect the hoist cylinder in the same manner as the left side. Ensure the body-up limit switch is secure and in good condition. Remove any mud or dirt accumulation from the switch.
