Lubrication and Fluids
This section contains basic fluid and lubricant requirements
and their minimum service intervals for the standard Kalmar
tractor. It also contains basic information on filter change
intervals. If your vehicle has any optional or special factory-
installed equipment, such as planetary axles or a central lube
system, contact your Kalmar dealer for specific lubrication
requirements for your vehicle.
The fluids and lubricants covered in this section are listed
below. If a specific lubricant or fluid used on your vehicle is not
covered in this section, contact your Kalmar dealer for the
information.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Axle Differential Lubricant
Coolant/Anti-Freeze
Diesel Fuel
Engine Oil
Multi-Purpose Grease
Hydraulic System Fluid
The Lubrication Diagrams on page 48 and page 49 show the
location of specific lubrication and fluid points for easy
reference. The Preventative Maintenance Forms (see pages
51 and 52) indicates services that need to be performed at
every 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 hour interval.
The chart also indicates the type of lubricant or fluid required
or indicates the page number where that information can be
found.
The maintenance and service intervals in this manual are
provided for reference. These intervals are the maximum
allowable on a vehicle used in normal operation. These
intervals may not apply to your specific vehicle
application. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure
that the vehicle is properly maintained. Failing to maintain
a vehicle properly may lead to an unsafe vehicle, serious
vehicle damage, or injury.
NOTICE
Never add any type of fluid or lubricant unless it is the same
grade and type which is currently being used. Mixing of
different lubricants and fluid grades or types should be
avoided. If the grade or type of fluid is unknown, the system
must be drained and flushed before the new fluid or lubricant
is added.
