AFTER FORDING
During fording, water may enter your truck or its components. This water may have
contaminated the fluid systems. You must make sure that any accumulated water is
removed from your truck before it has a chance to cause damage to any systems,
surfaces or equipment of the truck. As soon as possible after fording, CHECK YOUR
TRUCK USING THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
LET THE ENGINE RUN FOR AWHILE to drive out any accumulated water.
DRAIN OR DRY ANY AREAS ON YOUR TRUCK WHERE WATER HAS
ACCUMULATED.
CHECK EACH FLUID SYSTEM IN YOUR TRUCK for evidence of water contamina-
tion. If you find water in one or more fluid systems, notify Organizational Maintenance
to drain, flush, and refill the contaminated system.
REFER TO LO 9-2320-283-12. Notify Organizational Maintenance that an after-fording
lubrication is needed.
If necessary, NOTIFY ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE OF ANY SERVICE OR
REPAIRS YOUR TRUCK NEEDS before you return it to normal use. (Refer to after-
fording maintenance procedures in chapter 3).
