MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR
SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS
1. This maintenance checklist is based on the average application. If the vehicle is operated under
“severe conditions”, service procedures should be conducted more frequently than specified. The
frequency of service under severe conditions is determined by the use of the vehicle. The owner/
operator must evaluate the operating environment to determine the increase in maintenance frequency.
In addition, the whole vehicle should be inspected monthly for signs of damage. The damage must be
repaired immediately.
The following list is meant as a guide and is not all-inclusive of a “severe duty” application.
• Extreme temperature.
• Bumpy, dusty, or ill maintained roads.
• Excessively wet areas.
• Corrosive or contaminated areas.
• Frequent loading of vehicle at/near capacity.
• Use on multiple shifts.
2. Any deficiencies found during an inspection should corrected before the vehicle is returned to service.
3. Battery water level should be inspected on a weekly schedule.
