lubricated if these procedures are closely
followed:
1. Maintain oil level; check it regularly.
2. Change oil regularly.
3. Use the correct grade and type of
oil.
4. Buy oil from a reputable dealer.
Lubrication Change and Inspection
Off-Highway Use
Refer to the Eaton Fuller transmission
manual for servicing information.
Highway Use
• Refer to the Eaton Fuller
transmission manual for servicing
information.
• Refer to the oil change vs.
temperature chart that follows for
special oil change information. The
"intermittent peak temperature" is
the maximum temperature
observed for a short time in a fully
loaded vehicle performing normally.
CAUTION
Exceeding the recommended oil
change intervals may be harmful to the
life of the transmission and the trans-
mission oil cooler.
Mechanical Clutch
The clutch in this vehicle is actuated via a
combination of mechanical linkages from
the cab to the transmission.
Free Pedal Travel
Free pedal travel is the distance the clutch
pedal moves by applying only slight
pressure. During free pedal the release
yoke in the transmission moves until its
bearing pads contact the release bearing.
This movement of the release yoke is
called free travel. Thus, free pedal and free
travel are directly related to each other. As
the clutch pedal is depressed further, with
harder pressure, the release yoke moves
the release bearing away from the engine.
This causes the clutch plate to release
from the driven disks in the clutch. This is
called release travel. And finally, as the
pedal is pushed to the last 1/2 to 1 inch of
travel, the release bearing contacts and
engages the clutch brake. This is called
clutch brake squeeze. When the clutch
wears, the release bearing gradually
moves toward the engine, decreasing free
pedal and free travel. When all free pedal
and free travel are gone, the clutch
requires adjustment. The clutch is adjusted
by turning an adjustment ring that is built
into the clutch. When the ring is turned, the
release bearing moves back toward the
transmission, restoring free pedal and
clutch free travel. Under normal clutch
wear this is the only adjustment needed.
Do not attempt to change any other
component.
