Foreword
Performing scheduled maintenance operations is important in obtaining safe, reliable operation of your
vehicle. A proper maintenance program will also help to minimize downtime and safeguard warranties.
IMPORTANT: The maintenance operations in this manual are
not all-inclusive
. Also refer to other
component and body manufacturers’ instructions for specific inspection and maintenance instruc-
tions.
Perform the operations in this maintenance manual at scheduled intervals. Perform the pretrip and post-trip
inspections, and daily/weekly/monthly maintenance, as outlined in the vehicle driver’s manual. Major
components, such as engines, transmissions, and rear axles, are covered in their own maintenance and
operation manuals, that are provided with the vehicle. Perform any maintenance operations listed at the
intervals scheduled in those manuals. Your Freightliner Dealership has the qualified technicians and
equipment to perform this maintenance for you. They can also set up a scheduled maintenance program
tailored specifically to your needs. Optionally, they can assist you in learning how to perform these
maintenance procedures.
