TM5-3810-305-10 Section II Initial Adjustments and Control Settings Checks and lnspections The following items should be checked each day before start-up and start of operations. Check all fluid levels with vehicle parked on level ground. Cooling system is pressurized. Use extreme caution and proper protection when removing radiator cap after operating temperature is reached. When removing cap, loosen it slowly to the left, then pause a moment. Steam and hot gases will be escaping through the radiator cap; avoid being burned by these gases. Continue to turn cap until it can be removed. Failure to follow this procedure could cause SERIOUS INJURY. Coolant - Check to be sure level is near top of radiator tank. Check through inspection hole in hood. General Condition - Inspect vehicle in general for wear, leakage and damage. Leakage - Make a ground check vehicle for signs of leaks. CAUTION below the Never operate engine with oil level below the ADD 1 QT mark or above the FULL mark. Fail- ure to follow this procedure could cause damage to equip- ment. Engine Oil - The level should be indicated on the dipstick (Figure 4-15). Oil level should be checked when engine is cold. Transmission Oil - Check transmission oil level dipstick with engine running and transmission in neutral. Check at a transmission operating temperature of 160 to 190 degreesF(71 to 88 degrees C). Insure that oil is at FULL line indicated on dipstick. Hydraulic System - Check hoses, tubes, compo- nents, reservoir dipstick, valves, pumps, motors, connections, cylinder mounting bushings and pins. The system level, with all cylinders re- tracted in travel mode, should be at FULL mark on dipstick located on reservoir fill cap. Lubrication - Perform daily lubrications as shown in lubrication chart (refer to Appendix B). Diesel fuel and other combustible materials are used in the opera- tion and maintenance of this equipment. Do not smoke or allow open flames in areas where combustible materials are stored or used. Failure to follow this procedure could cause DEATH or serious injury. Fuel/Water Separator - Drain water from fuel/ water separator, mounted on outer fuel filter. Fuel - Check fuel gauge. Engine fuel should be adequate for sustained operations. When adding fuel use ASTM NO. 2 or 2D climatized Diesel Fuel. FULL Figure 4-15. Engine, Oil Level 4-10
