MAINTENANCE
Belt Inspection and Installation
Proper belt tension is critical to maintaining belt life. Too much tension will over stress the belt as well as the pulleys
and bearings. Too little tension will allow the belt to slip during heavy loading. This will glaze the belt surface, reduce
surface friction, increase slippage, and ultimately lead to belt failure. All Pierce Custom Chassis utilize automatic
belt tensioners which are not adjustable.
Multi-rib drive designs may use pulleys that have more grooves than the belt. One of the pulleys in the drive system
will match the belt width. Use this pulley to align the belt and install in the correct groove on the wider pulley. A
straightedge against the face of the aligning pulley will provide an accurate guide for the alignment of the belt.
6-17.4 Engine Service Schedule
Maintenance, lubrication, and inspection schedules vary among engine models and manufacturers. Refer to the
engine manufacturer’s maintenance manual for maintenance schedules, lubrication recommendations, and
inspection procedures.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the engine is maintained properly. Retain all service reports and
receipts, and transfer these records in the event that the vehicle changes hands.
Use only genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts or parts of equivalent quality and functionality when
servicing engines. Replacement of parts with those of inferior quality may lead to lower performance, reduced
engine life, or component failure.
6-17.5 Engine Mount Isolators
Inspect the engine and transmission isolators for cracks, debonding or other signs of excessive wear. Replace worn
isolators with Pierce supplied parts only to ensure that proper isolation is maintained.
6-17.6 Engine Diagnostic Software -
Detroit
2010 EPA & 2013 EPA Detroit engines require Detroit Diagnostic Link (DDDL) software version 7.06 for diagnostic
support. The DDDL 7.06 package supports both 2013 EPA and older engines. Contact a Detroit service location to
obtain a copy of DDDL.
6-17.7 Engine Diagnostic Software -
Cummins
2010 EPA & 2013 EPA Cummins engines require Cummins Insite software version 7.4.2 (or newer) for diagnostic
support. Contact a Cummins service location to obtain a copy of Cummins Insite.
6-17.8 Engine Diagnostic Software -
Ford
Several different diagnostic software tools are available to support the Ford power train components (Ford
Integrated Diagnostic Software [IDS], Ford J2534 Diagnostic Software [FJDS], Ford Diagnostic & Repair System
[FDRS]). Contact your dealer for information on obtaining a license(s) for the diagnostic software packages.
6-18. Cooling System
The most efficient cooling system is one that keeps the coolant at proper temperature for efficient engine operation
regardless of engine speed or load. When coolant temperature is below normal, fuel may not burn readily or produce
its full power. When water temperature is excessive and the engine is operating under full load, lubricating oil may
get so hot and thin that it cannot lubricate effectively. Every part of the cooling system requires attention.
