Inspect the Engine for Leaks and for Loose Connections
A walk-around inspection should only require a few minutes. When the time is used to perform these checks, costly repairs and accidents can be avoided.For maximum engine service life, make a thorough inspection of the engine compartment before you start the engine. Look for items such as: oil leaks, coolant leaks, loose bolts, worn belts and loose connections. Make repairs, as needed:
The guards must be in the proper place. Repair damaged guards or replace missing guards.
Wipe all caps and plugs before the engine is serviced in order to reduce the chance of system contamination.
For any type of leak (coolant, lube, or fuel) clean up the fluid. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak. If leaking is suspected, check the fluid levels more often than recommended until the leak is found or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be unwarranted.
Accumulated grease and/or oil on an engine or deck is a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water.
Ensure that the cooling lines are properly clamped. Check for leaks. Check
