2.6 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
- When carrying out maintenance activities on
the vehicle, it is important that the work is
performed under the cleanest possible
conditions.
Filler caps, lubricating points, filler and drain
plugs should be cleaned before and after
maintenance activities.
- When excessive leakage has been detected
at oil seals and/or components, or in case of
excessive drops in the oil level, a report
should be made and the cause should be
remedied.
- It is important to check the gearbox
breathers, transfer box, rear axle and driven
front axle regularly for fouling and blockages.
If the breathers are blocked by dirt,
overpressure may cause leaks.
- Depending on the circumstances in which
the vehicle is used, e.g. on very bad roads or
construction sites, important bolt
connections such as the fifth wheel, spring
suspension, U-bolts, trailer coupling,
steering box attachment, superstructure
attachments etc. should be inspected more
often and, if necessary, be retightened.
- It is important that a visual inspection and
test run are carried out following the
maintenance activities.
Particular attention should be paid to
components directly related to driving safety.
- Once a service has been completed new
information on the next service (mileage/
date) can be entered on the instrument panel
display using DAVIE XD via the VIC.
