Warranty
Servicing is the prime guarantee.
Recommended inspection and servicing intervals are given as a guide and are intended for
vehicles operating under normal road conditions. The tougher the operating conditions, the
shorter the service and inspection intervals. In some cases it will be necessary to consider
servicing and inspection in terms of hours rather than mileage. The manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for damage caused by driving errors, or failure to comply with the recom-
mendations made in this handbook, particularly regarding the use of lubricants that are not
in conformity with the performance specifications given.
Topping up engine oil
The engine is to be topped up with RENAULT TRUCKS RLD-2 grade oil until the first service
is performed. Subsequently, the choice of oil to be used is defined by the customer according
to use of the vehicle.
Implementation of the above checks is essential for the validity of the vehicle warranty.
To obtain these inspections, consult your normal RENAULT TRUCKS dealer and give him
the warranty certificate you received when the vehicle was supplied.
Lubrication
The manufacturer specifies the performance levels of the lubricants required for the correct
operation of the vehicles supplied, and also defines the lubrication intervals.
These recommendations must be strictly followed
Their observance will increase the service life of the equipment and components. Failure to
comply can invalidate the warranty offered.
Draining major units: always drain the oils on level ground with the oils hot to
aid the flow.
When refitting the drain plugs, fit new gaskets.
