Lubrication
The following information provides guidelines for
proper lubrication intervals called out in the lubrication
chart. However, some operating conditions will require
more frequent checks and lubrication than listed. For
example, truck applications which operate in extreme
moisture or dust environments will require schedule
modification in each particular application.
Use high grade lubricants and fluids. Sources of these
lubricants may originate from almost any oil company;
those listed on page MA-1960-500 are typical and any
lubricant with equal specifications may be used.
On trucks equipped to operate in below freezing tem-
peratures, low temperature hydraulic oil must be used.
All screws, washers, nuts, roll pins, retaining rings,
brake linkage, etc. need to be coated with a rust pre-
ventive (078882) to protect against corrosion. Lubrica-
tion intervals must be changed to a frequency that will
minimize corrosion and wear on moving shafts and
parts.
The truck has seven zerk fittings for lubrication pur-
poses (nine zerks with sideshifter). Refer to the follow-
ing information for specifications, locations, etc.
Use Planned Maintenance Inspection Report 
(PF15345) for RC 5500 trucks as required to record 
and assure maintenance checks.
