MAINTENANCE, LUBRICATION AND SERVICE
LUBRICATION
NOTE
If the vehicle is operated in sandy or dusty
environments, the spring ends should be
left dry. Dirt and grease can mix, resulting
in a "sandpaper" action that may cause
pre-mature wear to the spring ends.
8
Clutch Reservoir
Check the uid level in the reservoir.
Add brake uid if necessary. Use
only DOT 4 brake uid in the clutch
release system. Mixing DOT 4 brake
uid with petroleum based oil will
cause seal damage which will cause
leakage.
9
Clutch Bearing Linkage
Use a lithium based grease with EP
additives to specication API NLGI
No. 2.
NOTE
Inspection cover removal is necessary.
Lubricate according to Eaton's lubrication
document and reinstall the inspection
cover. See http://www.roadranger.com for
the latest heavy-duty clutch service
information.
10
U-Joints
Use a lithium based grease with EP
additives to specication API NLGI
No. 2.
NOTE
Ensure that grease purges out of all four
seals of the U-joints.
11
PTO/Hydraulic Reservoir
When lubricating the spring pin
busing use a lithium based grease
with specication API NLGI No. 2.
12
Rear Suspension (48k-70k
suspension)
NOTE
Newer versions may have rubber bushing
that do not need lubrication.
NOTE
Earlier versions of the T-Ride and B-Ride
spring cradle required lubrication.
13
Coolant Level
Add coolant if necessary. Only use
pre-mixed clean water and antifreeze
in a 50/50 mix.
Add only the same type antifreeze,
that is: extended life or standard.
14
Steering Assist Cylinder
Use a lithium based grease with EP
additives to specication API NLGI
No. 2 to grease both ball joints.
15
Front Oil Lubricated Wheel
Bearings
There is no set change interval.

dirt is found in the lubrication. Use
motor oil SAE 30. Lubricate both the
right and the left wheel bearings.
16
Power Steering Fluid
Check the uid in the reservoir with
the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
Use ATF Dexron
®
