An overheated hubindicates that bearing is out of adjustment,poorly lubricated, or damaged.Any Class IIIleaks, coldshocks, or badbearings.b. Check temperature of shock absorbers. Shockabsorbers should be warm. A cold shockabsorber is faulty.c. Visually check inside and outside of carrier forfuel, oil, or hydraulic leaks.3Semi-AnnualIdle TestCAUTIONAvoid lengthy engine idling. This causescoolant temperature to drop belowoperating temperature and can shortenengine life.a. Run engine at 800 rpm for 3-5 minutes withrange selector in 2 to 3 range and brakes lockeduntil normal operating temperature is reached.Engine runshot or rough.b.
