2.6.

LUBRICATION OIL LEAKS

Inspect plant lubrication piping for oil leaks. Tighten hardware or change seals and gaskets if necessary.
In addition, make sure the dipstick and filling plug on the inspection cover are tight.
2.7.

COOLANT LEAKS

Inspect plant water piping for water leaks. Tighten hardware or change seals and gaskets if necessary.
Verify that the drain holes on the water pumps are unobstructed, as their plugging could lead to serious
damage.
2.8.

GAS LEAKS

Inspect gas piping for leaks using a gas detector or water with soap. Tighten hardware or change gaskets if
necessary.
NEVER USE A FLAME TO DETECT GAS LEAKS BECAUSE THIS CAN PRODUCE AN EXPLOSION AND
PERSONS CAN BE HURT.
2.9. SPEED CONTROL LINKAGE (NOT NECESSARY FOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL ENGINES)
It is necessary to check the ball joints of the speed control linkage for clearances (greased and readjusted
where appropriate).
2.10.

CHECK FOR SENSORS

Temperature and pressure measures must be checked in order to detect deviations or broken sensors on
engine. It is also necessary to inspect pressure and temperature sensors of the control system.
2.11. INTAKE AND EXHAUST LEAKS
Check that there are no leaks in the intake and exhaust circuits.
