Manual Pretrip Inspection (Before Starting Unit)
The following Manual Pretrip Inspection should be completed before starting the unit and loading the trailer. While the pretrip
inspection is not a substitute for regularly scheduled maintenance inspections, it is an important part of the preventive
maintenance program designed to head off operating problems and breakdowns before they happen.

Engine Oil
The engine oil level should be at the FULL mark with the dipstick turned (threaded) into oil pan. Never overfill.
Coolant
The engine coolant must have antifreeze protection to -34 C(-30 F). Alarm Code 37 indicates low coolant. Add coolant in the
