Maintenance and Repairs
Equipment Maintenance records
This screen looks different in Nautilus III
In Nautilus IV the maintenance records
are combined to one screen instead of multiple screens as it was
before this version. The form is rather self explanatory: The driver
enters the date the service was performed, the cost if any, warranty
or not, selects the truck and or trailer number, enters the odometer
reading, hours if the unit is APU or a reefer unit Vendor, and
location, service type (PM, Grease, repairs, tire service, parts
purchase etc) time start and end, the service performed and notes if
any.
ALL of those fields with the exception
of Service performed and truck or trailer number are optional.
If there is a cost associated with the
service the driver can settle the payment against a [savings
account] (Maintenance account). If there driver settles the
payment against the system [running
account] "Cash" then the cost for the service will also
be shown on the [Trip Sheet -
Expenses]. Services settled against [running
account] are deducted directly from the trip dated closest to the
service date.
If this is a PM service the odometer
reading will affect the alert screen displayed on the [Trip
Sheet - Load Information]. Every time driver enters another state
line record under [Trip
Sheet - Odometer] the truck odometer counter will be incremented
but only if the value entered is grater then the value stored. The PM
service record will store the odometer reading for the last service
and affect the counter, thus resetting it. If you entered a too high
of a number and messed up the counter it can be reset under
[Preferences - Equipment]
For example. Your odometer reading is
150,000 and you had your last service on 132000, your service
interval is set to 15,000 and so at this point you are over due. Now
you do the service and you make a mistake by entering you odometer as
1,500,000 instead of 150,000. So your last service counter is saved
at 1,500,000. The alert screen will be fulled and will not alert you
for next 1,350,000 miles. To fix this and reset your counters you use
[Preferences - Equipment]
screen.
The driver can print the service
records. See [Maintenance
print out] section for an example.
