OM3006.1 04/98 Operation - Section 3 Operating Instructions Page 3-3 10. Before leaving this position, look to see that there is no leakage or any other unusual condition with transmission or drive shaft. 20. 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 hardware and sus- pension extension, as well as greasing and attach- ing hardware for the steering cylinder. 11. 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. 21. Move out and around the right front wheel, inspect that all lugs/wedges are in place and tight. Check dual tires for cuts, damage or ‘‘bubbles’’ and that inflation appears to be correct. If truck has been run on a ‘‘flat’’, the tire must be cooled before parking truck inside . 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. 22. Move in behind the front of the right front wheel, check hub and the oil disc brakes for leaks and any unusual condition.
Inspect the engine com- partment for any leaks and unusual condition. Inspect the fan guard, and belts also for any rags or debris behind radiator. 12. Inspect left rear suspension for damage and for proper inflation, and that there are no leaks. In- spect also for proper greasing, and that covers over the chromed piston rod are in good condi- tion. 23. Move on around to the right front of the truck. 24. As you move in front of the radiator, inspect for any debris that might be stuck in front of the radiator and remove it. Check for any coolant leaks. In- spect all headlamps and fog lights. 13. Check final drive housing breather. Replace breather if obstructed.
Check for leakage around final drive housing and wet disc brake housings and the hoses connected to the housings. 25. Before climbing ladder to first level, be sure ground level engine shutdown switch is ‘‘ON’’ (if equipped). 26. Climb ladder to main deck. Always use grab rails and ladder when mounting or dismounting from the truck. Clean ladder and hand rails of any foreign material, such as ice, snow, oil or mud. 14. While standing behind final drive housing, look up to see that rear lights are in good condition, along with back up horns. Inspect linkage rods to see that all locations are getting proper greasing. Also look at both body hinge pins for greasing 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 on around the right dual tires, inspect be- tween the tires for rocks, and for condition of the rock ejector, inspect the tires for cuts or damage, and for correct inflation. 27. When checking coolant in radiator, use coolant level sight gauge (if equipped) or observe coolant level through opening in end of hood. If it is necessary to remove radiator cap, shut down engine (if running), and relieve coolant pressure SLOWLY before removing radiator cap. 17.
Perform the same inspection for wheel lugs/wedges, wheel cover latches, and for leaks that was done on the left hand dual wheels. 18. Move in front of right dual tires, and inspect the hoist cylinder the same as was done on the left side. 19. Move on around the fuel tank, inspect the fuel quantity gauge. Inspect the attaching hardware for the fuel tank at the upper saddles, and then at the lower back of the tank for the security and condition of the mounts. If engine has been running, allow coolant to cool, before removing the fill cap or draining radiator. Serious burns may result if coolant is not allowed to cool. 28. Inspect battery box cover for looseness or dam- age.
