(refer to the Caterpillar
and Cummins service
manuals for further
instructions and
information)Engine system
Check the engine cooling system - hoses, clamps and protection
Inspect the drive belts
Exhaust system
Inspect the entire exhaust system (including the inlet pipe(s),
muffler(s), outlet pipe(s), clamps and fasteners) for holes,
leakage, breakage, corrosive damage and separation from other
components. Adjust, service or replace with the same or the
equivalent part. (Also a noise emission control service)
Suspension system
Lubricate the front and rear spring pins
Tighten the front and rear spring U-bolts to the specified torque
Driveline and rear axle system
Lubricate the U-joints and the slip yoke
Brake system
Lube the air brake foot control valve, hinge and roller
Inspect the drum brake linings through the inspection holes
Lubricate the brake camshafts (air brakes)
Lubricate the brake slack adjuster (air brakes)
Lubricate rear caliper slide rails
Inspect the disc brake pads and the piston boots (hydraulic
brakes)
Clutch system
Lubricate the clutch release cross shaft and all linkages
Check the clutch fluid
Fuel system
Drain the accumulated water or sediment from the fuel tank(s)
Steering system
Lubricate the steering shaft(s), U-joints and splines when
equipped with grease fittings
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins
Lubricate the steering linkage when equipped with grease fittings
Grease the power steering gear output shaft
* Coolant protection checks should be made just prior to the onset of freezing weather,
where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained,
flushed and refilled with the prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and water. Use only
permanent type coolant that meets Ford specifications WSS-M97B51-A1. See the engine
manufacturer’s operating guide for supplemental corrosion inhibitor specifications.
