The frequency of lubricant changes depends upon the individual operating
conditions, speeds and loads. Change whenever the seals are replaced or
when the brakes are relined or at 30,000 miles (48,000km). If yearly mileage
is less than 30,000 miles, change it twice a year (spring and fall).
For low mileage operations the grease may not need changing until every
50,000 miles (80,500km) or two years. However, check the grease twice a
year (spring and fall) for contamination. Change if required.
Your tag axle has come to you with Shell Hypoid gear oil, GL-5, S.A.E.
80w/90. Specifications, minimum outside temperature -15ºF (-26.1ºC). There
is no upper limit on these outside temperatures of oils and greases. The axle
sump temperature must never exceed 250ºF (+121ºC).
The recommended oil change interval is based on the operating condi-
tions, speeds and loads. Limited service applications may allow the recom-
mended interval to be increased. Severe applications may require the recom-
mended interval to be reduced. For more information contact a Meritor serv-
ice representative.
Lubricating the Camshaft Bushings:
Apply the specified grease at the grease fitting on the spider. Apply
grease until new grease purges from all the seals. Greasing intervals will be
once a year, or every 30,000 miles. Use a multi-purpose grease NLGI Grade
1 or 2. The grease classification should be lithium 12-hydroxy stearate or
lithium complex.
NOTE: Under no circumstance should you ever drive the motorhome
over 5 mph when the tag axle is raised. Monaco Coach Corporation will
not be held liable for any damage that may occur while driving over 5
mph with a raised tag axle.
