|
Leaks/Hoses (Form A)
|
Look for puddles on the ground. Look for dripping fluids on underside of engine and transmission. Inspect hoses for condition and leaks
|
Oil Level (form A)
|
Indicate where dipstick is located. See that oil level is within safe operating range. Level must be above refill mark.
|
Coolant Level (Form A)
|
Inspect reservoir sight glass, or (If engine is not hot), remove radiator cap and check for visible coolant level.
|
Power Steering Fluid (Form A)
|
Indicate where power steering fluid dipstick is located. Check for adequate power steering fluid level. Level must be above refill mark.
|
Engine Compartment Belts (Form A)
|
Check the following belts for snugness (up to 3/4 inch play at center of belt), cracks, or frays: Power steering belt. Water pump belt. Alternator belt. Air compressor belt. Note: If any of the components listed above are not belt driven, you must: Tell the examiner which component(s) are not belt driven. Make sure component(s) are operating properly, are not damaged or leaking, and are mounted securely.
|
Safe Start (Form A)
|
Depress clutch. Place gearshift lever in neutral (or park, for automatic transmissions). Start engine, then release clutch slowly
|
Oil Pressure Gauge (All Vehicles)
|
Make sure oil pressure gauge is working. Check that pressure gauge shows increasing or normal oil pressure or that the warning light goes off. If equipped, oil temperature gauge should begin a gradual rise to the normal operating range.
|
Temperature Gauge (All Vehicles)
|
Make sure the temperature gauge is working. Temperature should begin to climb to the normal operating range or temperature light should be off
|
Air Gauge (All Vehicles)
|
Make sure the air gauge is working properly. Build air pressure to governor cut-out, roughly 120- 140 psi.
|
Ammeter/Voltmeter (All Vehicles)
|
Check that gauges show alternator and/or generator is charging or that warning light is off
|
Mirrors and Windshield (All Vehicles)
|
Mirrors should be clean and adjusted properly from the inside. Windshield should be clean with no illegal stickers, no obstructions, or damage to the glass.
