ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Some maintenance items must be serviced more fre-
quently on vehicles used under severe driving condi-
tions.
This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service pro-
vided it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Peri-
odic Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals.
Refer to illustration below for appropriate lubrication loca-
tion (Ref. Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 Lubrication Points
Do not use more than three pumps of grease for
each grease fitting at any one time. Excess grease
may cause grease seals to fail or grease to migrate
into areas that could damage grease seals and
cause premature bearing failure.
REAR AXLE
The only maintenance required for the first five years is
the periodic inspection of the lubricant level. The rear axle
is provided with a lubricant level check/fill plug located on
the bottom of the differential. Unless leakage is evident,
the lubricant only needs replacement after five years. The
procedure to follow for checking the rear axle lubricant
level is in the REAR AXLE section.
BRAKES
After the vehicle has been put into service, it is recom-
mended that the brakes be checked daily by performing a
brake test.
To prevent severe injury or death resulting
from operating a vehicle with improperly oper-
ating brake system, the braking system must
be properly maintained. All driving brake tests
must be done in a safe location with regard for
the safety of all personnel.
For information on conducting a brake test, refer to
BRAKES section.
TIRES
Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Ser-
vice Schedule. Inflation pressures should be checked
when tires are cool. Be sure to reinstall valve dust cap
after checking or inflating. For additional information, refer
to WHEELS AND TIRES section.
