Do a normal pre-trip inspection, but pay special attention to the following items:
Tires. Check the tire and air pressure. Inspect the tires every hours or every miles when driving in very hot weather. Air pressure increases with . Do not let air out or the pressure will be too low when the tires cool off. If a tire is too hot to touch, remain until the tire cools off. Otherwise, the tire may out or catch .
Engine Oil. The engine oil helps keep the engine , as well as lubricating it. Make sure there is enough engine oil. If you have an oil gauge, make sure the temperature is within the proper range while you are driving.
Engine Coolant. Before starting out, make sure the engine cooling system has enough and according to the engine manufacturer’s directions. (Antifreeze helps the engine under conditions as well as conditions.) When driving, check the temperature or temperature gauge from time to time. Make sure that it remains in the normal range. If the gauge goes above the highest safe temperature, there may be something wrong that could lead to engine failure and possibly fire. driving as soon as safely possible and try to find out what is wrong.
Some vehicles have glasses, see-through coolant containers or coolant containers. These permit you to check the coolant while the engine is hot. If (and only if) the container is not part of the pressurized system, the can be safely removed and added even when the engine is at operating temperature.
Never remove the cap or any part of the system until the system has cooled. Steam and boiling water can spray under pressure and cause severe burns. If you can touch the radiator cap with your bare hand, it is probably cool enough to open.
If coolant has to be added to a system without a recovery tank or overflow tank, follow these steps:
Engine Belts. Learn how to check V-belt tightness on your vehicle by pressing on the belts. Loose belts will not turn the water pump and/or fan properly. This will result in . Also, check belts for cracking or other signs of wear.
Hoses. Make sure coolant hoses are in good condition. A broken hose while driving can lead to engine failure and even .
Watch for Tar. Tar in the road pavement frequently rises to the surface in very hot weather. Spots where tar “” to the surface are very .
Go Slowly Enough to Prevent . High speeds create more for tires and the engine. In desert conditions, the heat may build up to the point where it is dangerous. The heat will increase chances of tire failure or even fire and engine failure.
Your score is sent to your instructor. Tip: both forms of a fraction are accepted (for example, “1/4” or “one-quarter”).
