Rotate and Align the Tires
Your tires are probably in need of some attention after a long winter and spring. Take some time to rotate and align the tires on your landscaping truck. Don’t forget to inspect the tread and ensure that you don’t need to replace the tires. Ensure that they are filled up to the proper PSI and are ready for a long season of work ahead.
Clean the Undercarriage
The winter and spring can take a toll on the underside of your landscaping truck. That’s why it’s important to clean the undercarriage before the summer starts. Get the underside of the vehicle power washed to ensure it is clean and free of any debris that may make your rig vulnerable to corrosion and rust.
Check the Battery
If you relied on your landscaping truck’s battery these past few months, it’s time to check on it. If your battery is low, make sure to check the installation date. If it is older than four years, it’s probably time to get the battery checked by a professional.
Prepare for Rain
We know the summer usually brings sunshine, but you’ll also need to be prepared for the occasional rain. This means you should inspect your windshield wipers and make sure they are still in good working order.
Top off Fluids
Another important part of getting your landscaping truck ready for work is checking on the fluids. This includes the motor oil, coolant, wiper fluid, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Ensure that these are in good condition. If not, replace them. If they look okay, just top them off with fresh oil.
Wash Your Vehicle
The final step is to give your landscaping truck a good wash. The spring can bring pollen and other debris that dirty your vehicle. Give your rig a good clean. You’ll feel great knowing that your landscaping truck looks as good as new!
