Perform required periodic maintenance before starting the engine. Make a "walk-around" inspection of the installation. It only takes a few minutes to correct minor problems. This can prevent major repairs at a later date.

1. Inspect the air cleaner service indicator. If the red piston is locked in the raised position, service the air cleaner.

2. Inspect the coolant level. The level must be within 1 cm (1/2 inch) of the bottom of the radiator filler neck.

3. Measure the crankcase oil level. The oil level must be between ADD and FULL marks on the dipstick.

4. Inspect the fuel tank level.

5. Drain water and sediment from the water seperator.

6. Disconnect any battery chargers that are not protected against the starter current drain.

7. All guards must be in place. Repair or replace all guards that are damaged.
