Rear wheels
Spacers Verify:
• Even separation of dual wheels
• The tires are not touching one another.
Rims Inspect for damaged or bent rims. Rims should
not have welding repairs, and no rust trails,
which indicate it is loose on the wheel.
Lug nuts Verify all lug nuts are present and not loose (look
for rust trails around the lug nuts). There should
be no cracks radiating from the lug bolt holes or
distortion of the bolt holes.
Trailer
If you are pulling a trailer, perform an inspection of the trailer similar to
that of the tractor. The inspection should follow trailer manufacturer
recommendations and should include at a minimum: general condition,
landing gear, doors, sides, lights, reflectors, suspension, brakes, tires,
wheels, cargo placement, stability and tie-downs.
Transmission
WARNING: If the unit starts in gear and/or the neutral start
switch is not functioning correctly, the vehicle may inadvertently
move which could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, regularly
inspect the transmission’s neutral start switch. The engine should only
start in position N or P.
Inspect the transmission fluid level and shift linkage for proper
operation.
