VISUAL INSPECTION
It is important for the owner/operator to visually inspect
the complete engine assembly at regular intervals. Most
often, costly repairs can be avoided if potential problems
are corrected before there is a failure.
Inspect the complete engine assembly for obvious fuel,
oil, water or exhaust leaks. Check for loose, damaged
or missing parts. Check all hose clamps for adequate
tightness. Check the electrical system for loose or dirty
connections or damaged wiring.
