LUBRICATION AND SERVICE
WARNING
These vehicles are equipped with engine and
transmission oil pans which permit operation
on longitudinal slopes up to 30°
(57%). For
operation on steeper slopes, the factory
should be consulted.
Lubrication is an essential part of preventive
maintenance. It is important that the instructions,
regarding types of lubricants and the frequency of their
application, be followed to prolong the useful life of the
vehicle. Periodic lubrication of moving parts reduces to
a minimum the possibility of mechanical failures.
All change and service periods are recommendations
based on average operating conditions. Lubricants
showing evidence of excessive heat, oxidation or dirt
should be changed more frequently to prevent these
conditions.
Lubricant change and service periods must be
established on the basis of individual job conditions
utilizing oil sampling and recommendations from
lubricant suppliers.
Thoroughly clean all fittings, caps, plugs etc., to
prevent dirt from entering any system while carrying
out servicing procedures. Lubricants must be at
operating temperature when draining.
Note: Do not operate any system unless oil level is
within the recommended operating levels as indicated
on oil level dipstick, sight gauge or level plug.
Lubrication and Service Chart
Small circles on the following illustration represent
points at which lubrication and/or servicing must take
place, at the intervals indicated on the left hand side of
the lubrication and service chart. The numbered
circles on the illustration contain reference numbers
which correspond to the reference numbers in the

Note: At each scheduled maintenance interval, perform
