Check the engine compartment as follows:
- Make sure the transmission is filled to the proper level with the fluid recommended by the gear manufacturer. Do not overfill.
- The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) must be checked and filled regularly with DEF meeting Detroit™ quality specification.
- Make sure cable connections to the storage batteries are clean and tight.
- Check for cracks in the battery cases (1), for tightness of the cable clamps (2) at the terminals, and for corrosion of the terminals (3). Service or replace as needed.
- To provide corrosion protection, apply dielectric grease liberally to the terminal pads.
