Introduction

When greasing it is important to understand that providing the proper amount of grease is a delicate
balance between over greasing, which can result in seal damage as well as wasted lubricant. Only
pump enough grease until the air purges from the joint. Commonly, a “popping” sound can be heard
as the old grease begins to evacuate the seal. Equally important is to remove the excess grease from
the component you are maintaining. Leaving the excess grease will attract dirt and contaminants
which could work themselves into the joint causing potential future issues.

Body
The body contains grease fittings for every operating cylinder as well as all linkages.
Without proper lubrication and maintenance, these parts can become seized, galled, and/or break
resulting in equipment damage or injury.
4)
Hydraulic Fluid and Filter
Hydraulic fluid is the lifeblood of the W
ITTKE
™ refuse body. Regular maintenance of the hydraulics
will ensure long, trouble-free life.
As directed in all service training, the hydraulic filter needs to be replaced
after the initial 50 hours
of new truck operation and then again every 6 months
, or when the filter restriction gauge is in the
yellow.
The hydraulic fluid needs to be replaced once a year
along with the suction screen being
removed, inspected, cleaned and/or replaced.
5)
Air Filters
All W
ITTKE
™ trucks that utilize air-actuated MAC valves have a factory-installed air filter assembly
containing a set of water and coalescing filters.
These are typically located on the frame rail and may be found if you trace the MAC valve box supply
line back towards the chassis dry air supply tank. These filters need to be changed every 1000 hours to
ensure proper function of the pneumatic system. Failure to service these filters will result in a
contaminated and problematic air system.

Hardware
Hardware needs to be verified that it is present and tight. Loose or missing hardware can cause severe
damage and/or unsafe operational conditions.
