1. GENERAL NOTES
2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
(a) Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
(a) Check that the coolant level is between the "FULL" and "LOW" lines on the see-through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and free of leaves, dirt and bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rotting or loose connections.

(a) Check that the brake fluid levels are near the upper level line on the see-through reservoirs.
7. ENGINE DRIVE BELT
(a) Check the drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear and oiliness.
8. ENGINE OIL LEVEL
(a) Check that the level of engine oil is between "F" and "L" on the dipstick with the engine turned off.
