Maintenance and Service
Ensure that grease purges out of all four seals of the U-joints.
10. PTO/Hydraulic reservoir:
If equipped, consult with the PTO
manufacturer for the latest recommendation.
11. T-Ride bogie beam (48k-70k suspension):
If equipped, use a
lithium-based grease with EP additives to specification API NLGI No. 2.
Make sure the grease purges out of both the outer and inner seals. If
necessary, adjust the lubrication schedule to include greasing the bogie
bearing as often as daily, in applications where the bogie runs in corrosive
conditions or is submerged in water.
Some vehicles are equipped with newer versions of the T-Ride suspension that
use conical bushings. These vehicles do not require lubrication.
12. Coolant:
Add coolant if necessary. Only use pre-mixed clean water and
antifreeze in a 50/50 mix. Add only the same type antifreeze: extended
life or standard.
13. Steering assist cylinder:
If equipped, use a lithium-based grease with EP
additives to specification API NLGI No. 2 to grease both ball joints.
14. Power steering fluid:
Check the fluid in the reservoir with the dipstick.
Add oil if necessary. Use ATF Dexron
®
III. Change fluid every
240 000 km (150,000 miles). Change filter every year.
15. Front oil-lubricated wheel bearings (if applicable):
There is no set
change interval. Change the oil (or grease) only in connection with work
on the hub or if dirt is found in the lubrication. Use motor oil SAE 30.
Lubricate both the right and the left wheel bearings.
16. Engine oil and filter:
For oil and filter change see “Oil Capacity Tables
and Viscosity Charts” on page 108.
17. Windshield washer fluid:
Add fluid as necessary.
