Fan Gearbox Oil Level
The radiator fan is belt driven from the engine
crankshaft pulley through a drive shaft and a
gearbox. The gearbox is equipped with an oil
level plug and a drain plug. Check oil level with
the engine stopped and make sure that all en-
gine stopping safety precautions have been ob-
served. Oil level is correct when oil seeps out of
loosened oil level plug; if adding is necessary,
use
Mobil SHC 634
synthetic lubricant, or
equivalent.

Wheel Bearing Oil Level
The oil level for the front and tag axle wheel
bearings must be maintained to the level mark in
the cap. The level is determined by a line, indi-
cated by arrows, which is incorporated to the
plastic lens and passes underneath the words
oil
level
. To check oil after vehicle has been driven,
wait at least 15 minutes to ensure that oil has
settled. Drive axle wheel bearings are lubricated
by the differential oil. Maintain differential oil level
to ensure adequate lubrication of drive axle
wheel bearings at all times.

Caution:
Wheel bearing oil fill cap is supplied
with a very small vent hole in its center. Occa-
sionally insert a small tip (toothpick size) to be
sure that hole is not plugged; a plugged hole
may cause leakage when heat expands the oil
and air.
Coolant Level
Verification
The cooling system, is completely filled when the
coolant (cold) is visible in sight glass of the surge
tank. If topping-up is necessary, fill the system
with the same mixture ratio already used in the
system.

Warning:
Hot engine coolant is under pressure.
Never remove cap when coolant is hot as severe
burns can result. Allow engine to cool before
checking coolant level.
