Lube Intervals:
The frequency of lubricant changes depends upon the individual operat-
ing conditions, speeds and loads. Change whenever the seals are replaced,
when the brakes are relined or at 30,000 miles (48,000km). If yearly
mileage is less than 30,000 miles, change it twice a year (spring and fall).
For low mileage operations, the grease may not need changing until
every 50,000 miles (80,500km) or two years. However, check the grease
twice a year (spring and fall) for contamination. Change if required.
Your tag axle has come to you with Shell Hypoid gear oil, GL-5, S.A.E.
80w/90. Specifications, minimum outside temperature -15ºF (-26.1ºC).
There is no upper limit on these outside temperatures of oils and greases.
The axle sump temperature must never exceed 250ºF (+121ºC).
The recommended oil change interval is based on the operating condi-
tions, speeds and loads. Limited service applications may allow the recom-
mended interval to be increased. Severe applications may require the rec-
ommended interval to be reduced. For more information, contact a Meritor
service representative.
Lubricating the Camshaft Bushings
Apply the specified grease at the grease fitting on the spider. Apply
grease until new grease purges from all the seals. Greasing intervals will be
once a year, or every 30,000 miles. Use a multi-purpose grease NLGI Grade
1 or 2. The grease classification should be lithium 12-hydroxy stearate or
lithium complex.
NOTE: Under no circumstances should you ever drive your motorhome
over 5 mph when the tag axle is raised. Monaco Coach Corporation
will not be held liable for any damage that may occur while driving
over 5 mph with a raised tag axle.
Check the oil level on the tag axle.
