(d) Check for leaks
At each daily start-up, check for coolant, fuel, and oil leaks. Coolant
leaks may be more noticeable when components are cold. Observe pumps,
hoses, fittings, gasketed connections, etc., for signs of leakage. Correct
as required.
(e) Check air cleaner indicator
Any time a door is opened which will allow the indicator to be seen, ob-
serve the position of the red flag. If it is riding high inthe viewing chamber,
it indicates that the cartridge is approaching change time and should be
checked each day (See l-l, Fig. 4).
(f) Check exhaust system
Visually inspect muffler and exhaust pipes for rust and signs of approaching
failure.
Listen for any gasket or joint leaks.
CAUTION: A LEAKING AND DEFECTIVE EXHAUST SYSTEM COULD
BE A FIRE HAZARD.
(2) E lectrical (12-V DC system)
(a) Check all lights
Check all indicating lights to be sure they will operate when they should.
Check all vehicular lights.

the lamp and its protective fuse.

and part number.

(b) Check alternator charging rate
Observe the 12-V DC ammeter each time the engine is started. A zero
amperage reading or extremely high reading for any length of time indicates
trouble in the alternator, regulator,
battery, or interconnecting wiring.

Check operation of voltmeter,
ammeter, and frequency meter each time the
unit is started.
