Mobile Water Supply Exam Correctly
Answered
Engine compartment: air Filter Restriction Gauge - ✅✅ Check the air filter
restriction gauge to determine if the air filter needs to be changed.
Engine compartment: Coolant Overflow Reservoir - ✅✅ Coolant in the overflow
reservoir should be clean and halfway between max and min level for your
apparatus.
Engine compartment: Cooling Fan, Hoses, and Radiator - ✅✅ Check the cooling
fan, hoses, and the radiator for cracks.
Engine compartment: Windshield Washer Fluid - ✅✅ Check the windshield
washer fluid level.
Engine compartment: Batteries - ✅✅ Check the terminals for corrosion and
clean in accordance with the manufacturers specifications.
Inspect battery cables for any loose connections
Engine compartment: Power steering fluid reservoir - ✅✅ the power steering
fluid level should be full on its dipstick.
Engine compartment: Drive Belts - ✅✅ Check all drive belts for wear and
proper tension. 1/2" to 3/4" deflection at midpoint.
Engine compartment: Wiring - ✅✅ Check any exposed wiring for breaks, loose
connections, and insulation frays.
Engine compartment: Leaks - ✅✅ Checks for leaks of any fluids within the
engine compartment, including the fuel lines and their components.
