Always use recommended anti-freeze agents in cooling system to avoid deterioration of engine components due to corrosion. After filling coolant, fit radiator cap firmly, to keep cooling system pressurized.
Maintain correct tyre pressure to ensure better tyre life.
Always fit genuine radiator cap for pressurized cooling system.
Avoid mixing of different grade of lubricant or brake fluids during top up.

Daily maintenance is to be regularly performed especially on coolant level and engine oil level.
Avoid cranking of engine for more than 30 seconds. A gap of 2 minutes should be left between successive attempts.

Do not use kerosene as fuel, it lowers engine and fuel pump life of the truck/vehicle.
Do not use clutch pedal as a foot rest when driving. This will cause premature clutch lining wear.
Don't coast vehicles i.e. drive with engine switched off. This is dangerous and affects the life of gear box.
Don't fit bigger size tyres. Do not over or under inflate tyres. This lowers tyre life.
Do not overfill engine oil in sump. This may cause engine smoking and high engine oil consumption.
Do not flash the alternator leads to check for current flow.
