76 Severe Service Schedule for VHD-Series
The table on the next page is a check-chart
to keep track of performed services and can
be used for planning service work also. The
table is laid out with the maximum intervals
in hours. There are also maximum intervals
based on the calendar. Each maintenance
interval should be carried out at the indi-
cated accumulated hours or maximum every
month and a half — whichever comes first.
Before putting your vehicle to work, deter-
mine what service schedule works the best
for your application. The recommended
schedules in the is manual are for typical
applications. If the schedule does not fit
your application, make modifications based
on your experience of your application.
Your Volvo Trucks dealer is also equipped
to help you optimize the maintenance to
suit your vehicle and application the best.
When the interval hours or calendar time
are reached, refer to the check-sheet to see
what service categories need to be done.
Carry out each step described in the list for
each category corresponding to that interval.
There are references in the lists to pages in
this manual where more information on the
maintenance point is available. However,
this manual is not to be considered as a
substitute for the Preventive Maintenance
Service Manual. Information on ordering
