Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced
if
they
are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
fittings and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the
outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser.
To
help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of
the cooling system and pressure cap is recommended
at least once a year.
Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts
as needed. Replace any components that have high
effort or excessive wear.
Do
not lubricate accelerator
and cruise control cables.
Transfer Case and Front
Axle
(Four-wheel Drive) Inspection
Every
12
months or at engine oil change intervals,
check
front axle and transfer case and add ltibricant
when necessary.
A
fluid
loss
could indicate a problem;
check and have it repaired,
if
needed. Check vent
hose at transfer case for kinks and proper installation.
More frequent lubrication may be required on off-road
use.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition.
Also
inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.
Check parking brake adjustment. You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often
if
your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
