Warning: Measurement of the oil level must be taken on level ground.

Best time to check oil level is while the engine is COLD or after the vehicle has sat approximately 2 hours.

CAUTION: Failure to wait a sufficient amount of time will result in an inaccurate dipstick reading.

The level must be close to the FULL line on the dipstick, but must NOT exceed the FULL line.

Is the vehicle on level ground?

Is the engine cold or has the vehicle sat for approximately 2 hours?

DANGER: Before working on or inspecting a vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the transmission in neutral and block the wheels. Failure to do so can result in unexpected vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death.

Federal and state laws require inspection performed by the driver. Federal and state inspectors also inspect commercial vehicles. An unsafe vehicle can be placed 'out of service' until the driver or owner corrects the deficiency.

Section 49 CFR 396.13 states that all motor carrier drivers must complete a written report at the end of each work day for each vehicle operated, covering most of what is covered in the pre-trip list.

Starting on the next page are suggested guidelines to be used in performing truck, tractor and trailer pre-trip inspections.

If any component or system does not pass this inspection, it must be corrected before operating the vehicle.

Take your time going through the pre-trip inspection. Remember that a careful pre-trip inspection saves time by eliminating unscheduled stops for correcting a faulty item.

Inspect the vehicle in a circular manner.

Check under the vehicle for oil, fuel, coolant leaks or other signs of damage.

Check body surfaces for signs of breaks or damage.

DANGER: Tires used on multipiece rims must be assembled and inflated only by experienced, qualified personnel.

DANGER: NEVER position your body in front of the rim during inflation.

CAUTION: NEVER use water-based sealants, puncture proofing, or liquid balance materials containing water in All-Steel Radial Ply truck tires.

Inspect your tires daily. Look for bulges, cracks, cuts, penetrations and/or oil contamination.

Refer to the Maintenance and Lubrication Manual (21394653) for more information.

CAUTION: Never bleed air from your tires in an attempt to gain traction for a vehicle stuck in snow, ice or mud.

Check tire inflation pressure daily when the tires are cold (i.e., before the vehicle is driven).

Using fingers at compressor wheel, carefully spin and wiggle the turbo shaft to distribute the oil over all bearing surfaces.

Reconnect air intake duct and again fill turbo oil port to overflow, connect oil line and start engine.

Operate engine at low idle for at least three minutes before increasing RPM or driving the vehicle.
