(page 56).
Engine Oil: Correct level visible at sight
glass. Add correct specification oil as
required. No leaks from the engine or oil

Final Drive: No oil leaks (page 10 2 ).
Tires/Wheels: Correct inflation pressures
(when cold). Tread depth/wear, tire/wheel
damage, punctures etc. (page 111 ).
Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners: Visually check that
steering and suspension components, axles,
and all controls are properly tightened or
fastened. Inspect all areas for loose/damaged

Investigate any lever/pedal where the travel is
excessive before meeting resistance, or if
either control feels spongy in operation
(page 10 3 ).

not remain illuminated at speeds above
6 mph (10km/h) when moving off (page 41 ).
