PART 8: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
PB1319 (CAT. NO. 5296 ) —164— 22-01691 (R02/02)
If you find damage at a fastening point, you can gain additional
strength by installing a suitable reinforcing plate. This plate should
be drilled to accept a rivet and laminated to the shield with fiber-
glass and resin.
• Check cab skirts, sills, and brackets for overall condition and repair
them as necessary. Damaged rubber fender shields or cab skirt-
ing cannot be repaired. You will need to replace it.
Your authorized dealership can perform all of these checks and
repairs or replacements.
Air Intake System
Do all checks and maintenance chores listed in this manual under
Engine Air Intake System and Air Cleaner (See Index). Check the
induction tubing, elbow connections, clamps, brackets, and fasteners
for deterioration, cracks, and security. If you find an air leak anywhere
between the air cleaner and the engine, repair that leak immediately.
CAUTION: Air leaks cause excessive noise and may
result in serious damage to the engine. If you do not
repair them the engine damage won’t be covered by your
warranty. Repair all air leaks as soon as you find them.
