Maintenance
Due to the electric drivetrain on the Cabra, it requires little scheduled maintenance,
however there are a few systems that need attention as follows:
•
generator (if equipped)
–
To access the Cummins generator for maintenance first
raise the cab, deploy the tube pins, and lower the cab to rest on the pins. Remove the
front bed panel and then the access panel over the generator. There is an access panel
on the generator cover which faces the rear of the Cabra. Most all maintenance can be
done with this cover removed. To access the bottom of the generator for the oil drain,
remove the air prefilter on the bottom of the Cabra below the generator.
The generator maintenance guidelines are found in the supplement manuals
•
axle fluid
–
Drain and
replace the fluid in both sections of each axle every 1000 hours,
12,000 miles, or 24 months, whichever is first. Each axle has 2 fluid reservoirs - one in the
front and one in the rear. To drain, remove the corresponding drain plug on the bottom
of each section. Replace with 80W90 hypoid oil by removing the fill plugs on the sides of
each section. The rear helical gearbox section takes 21 ounces and the front hypoid carrier
section takes 47 ounces.
