ULTRASONIC MAINTENANCE PAYS
Ultrasonic listening tools simplify diagnostics in fleet maintenance shops. The utility of such a device in a Florida bus shop is described. Leakage of air and vacuum systems and water leaks in vehicle bodies may all be detected and located. Other versions of the device can be used for probing bearing conditions in wheels, turbochargers, alternators and power steering pumps. The device may also be used for engine diagnosis. Kits may contain tone generators and special probes. Assuming that the diagnostic device is used to its full capability, such an investment can be cost effective.
