Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light (if equipped)
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and
anchorages are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from
doing its job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed
safety belts replaced.
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace blade
inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see ªWiper Blades,
Cleaningº in the Index.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather more frequent application may be
required. (See ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº
in the Index.)Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all surfaces such as door checks, door lock
bolts, lock strike plates, door hinge bushings and
dovetail bumper wedges. Where oil holes are provided,
a dripless oil can be used. The seat adjusters, seat track,
door weatherstrips and rubber hood bumpers should also
be lubricated.
Part C tells you what to use. More frequent lubrication may
be required when exposed to a corrosive environment.
Parking Brake Check
Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with the
parking brake only. This checks holding ability.

Door Latches Check
Check that doors close, latch and lock tightly. Check for
broken, damaged or missing parts that might prevent
tight latching.
Hood Latches Check
Check that the hood closes firmly. Check for broken,
damaged, loose or missing parts that might prevent tight
latching. Make sure the secondary latch (if equipped)
keeps the hood from opening all the way when the
primary latch is released.
Fluid Leaks Check
Check for fuel, coolant, oil or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the vehicle after it has
been parked for a while.
Underbody Inspection
Corrosive materials used for ice, snow removal and dust
control can collect on the underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur
on underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan
and exhaust system. At least every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. Take
care to clean well any areas where mud and other debris
can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas of the
frame should be loosened before being flushed.
Engine Cover Check
Check that the cab's engine cover and seal (if equipped)
are not torn or damaged. Be sure that the cover is bolted
down firmly to the floor.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified in Part C.
Underbody Flushing Service
At least every spring, use plain water to flush any
corrosive materials from the underbody. Take care to
clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other debris
can collect.
Tractor Protection (Breakaway) Valve Check
On air brake models, remove, disassemble, clean and
inspect the tractor protection (breakaway) valve.
