To Drain and Replace Lubricant:
1. Place a large container under the axle.
2. Remove drain plug and allow axle to completely drain.
3. Properly dispose of oil.
4. Clean the drain plug and test (replace the drain plug if needed).
5. Install and tighten drain plug to 35 to 50 ft. lbs.
6. Clean the area around the fill plug from the axle-housing bowl.
7. Fill the axle with approved lubricant until the level is even with the bottom of the fill plug
hole.
WARNING:
When checking or changing the lubricant, always ensure that the axle is not
"hot." Oil temperature 90º F or hotter can easily cause severe burns.
Drive Shaft:
The drive shaft transfers the power produced by the engine to the drive axle. A worn or out of bal-
ance drive shaft causes chassis vibration that generally increases in intensity with road speed.
NOTE:
It will be necessary to move the motorhome forward or backward to access all fittings
on the drive shaft.
