Follow Recommendations<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">Recommendations are the best place to start when it comes to maintenance. But, recommendations can change year-to-year, so keep up with those changes.<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">2. Talk to Your Dealer<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">Your dealer has the latest diagnostic and repair information, so get in touch and make sure your technicians have the latest and greatest.<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">3. Stay in Touch<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">If a third-party performs your preventive maintenance (PM), meet regularly to discuss the practices they are following.<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">4. Find the Right Vehicle<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">Purchasing the right size and right vehicle for the job can reduce maintenance needs (and costs) over the life of the vehicle. Match the maintenance schedule to the application, too.<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">5. Involve Drivers<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">Drivers undoubtedly make their mark on a vehicle, and that means they can influence the amount of maintenance required, too.<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">6. Look at Hours<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">Odometer readings may be the most traditional indicator of when maintenance is due, but many fleets should consider looking at engine hours.<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">7. Review Your Forms<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">Inspection forms provide technicians the road map they need to do their jobs &ndash; so making sure they&rsquo;re right is key.<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">8. Remember the Electrics<\/span><br style=\"color: #676767;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: #f2ffde; color: #676767;\">Parts and fluids are part and parcel to good maintenance.
