OM3040 03/13 Operating Instructions - Section 30 Page 30-3 8. Move to the side of the hydraulic tank and check the hydraulic fluid level for both the hydraulic tank and brake cooling oil. Oil should be visible in the sight glass with the engine stopped and body down. 18. Move in front of the right dual tires. Inspect the hoist cylinder as was done on the left side. 19. Move around the fuel tank. Inspect the fuel gauge. Inspect the attaching hardware for the fuel tank at the upper saddles, and then at the lower back of the tank. Ensure the mounts are secure and in good condition. 9. Move around the hydraulic tank and in front of the rear dual tires.
Inspect the hoist cylinder for damage or leaks. Inspect the upper and lower hoist cylinder pins for secureness and proper greasing. 20. Move behind the right front wheel, and inspect the tie-rod pivots and steering cylinder for proper greasing. Ensure all parts are secure. Ensure the suspension protective cover is in good condition. Check the suspension attaching hardware, suspension extension, and greasing. Inspect the attaching hardware for the steering cylinder. 10. Before leaving this position, verify there is no leakage or any other unusual condition with the transmission or rear drive shaft. 11. Move around the dual tires. Verify all lugs/ wedges are intact and tight.
Check the wheel for leakage from inside the wheel housing that might indicate planetary leakage. Check the dual tires for cuts, damage, bubbles and under- inflation. If the truck has been operating on a flat tire, the tire must be cool before parking the truck inside. Check for rocks that might be lodged between the dual tires, and verify that the rock ejector is in good condition and straight. 21. Move around the right front wheel, and verify all lugs/wedges are intact and tight. 22. Move behind the front of the right front wheel. Check the hub and brake for leaks or any unusual condition. Inspect the engine compart- ment for leaks or any unusual condition. Inspect the fan guard and belts.
Check for, and remove any debris from behind the radiator. 23. Move around to the right front of the truck. 12. Check the left rear suspension for damage, proper extension, and leaks. Check for proper greasing. Ensure the covers over the chrome piston rod are in good condition. 24. As you move in front of the radiator, check for and remove debris that might be trapped in front of the radiator. Check for coolant leaks. Inspect all headlamps and fog lights. 13. Check the final drive housing breather. Replace the breather if obstructed. Check for leakage around the final drive housing, brake housings, and connecting hoses. 25. Ensure the ground level engine shutdown switch is ON. 26.
Climb the ladder to the main deck. Always use the hand rails and ladder when mounting or dis- mounting the truck. Clean the ladder and hand rails of any foreign material, such as ice, snow, oil or mud. 14. While standing behind the final drive housing, look up to see that the rear lights and back up horns are in good condition. Inspect the linkage rods to verify all locations are getting proper greasing. Check both body hinge pins for greas- ing and any abnormal condition. 15. Perform the same inspection on the right rear suspension as done on the left. Always mount and dismount ladders facing the truck. Never attempt to mount or dismount while the truck is in motion. 16.
Move to the right dual tires. Check between the tires for rocks. Check rock ejector condition. Inspect the tires for cuts, damage, and under- inflation. 17. Check the wheel lugs/wedges as done on the left dual wheels. Check for leaks.
