crankshaft pulley through a gearbox and drive
shaft. A dipstick located on the top of the
gearbox is used to check the radiator fan
gearbox oil level.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT 05062
Check radiator fan gear box oil level as follows:
1. Stop engine, open engine compartment and
place battery master switch to the OFF
position;
2. Open engine compartment door and place
engine starter switch to OFF position;
3. Remove the dipstick located on the top of
the gearbox and wipe with a clean rag;
4. Insert dipstick in gearbox case, then remove
again to check mark;
5. If necessary, add MOBIL SHC 630 synthetic
lubricant (Prevost #180217), through the oil
dipstick tube or vent plug, until the level
reaches the "FULL" mark;
6. Reinsert the dipstick;
7. Place engine rear start switch to NORMAL
position. Close engine compartment door;

WHEEL BEARING OIL LEVEL
If oil lubricated bearings are used, the front and
tag axle wheel bearings must be kept filled with
differential oil to within 15/16” (maximum level)
and 1-3/16” (minimum level) from the wheel
centerline (24 to 30 mm). Refer to
measurements in illustration below. Drive axle
wheel bearings are lubricated by the differential
oil. Maintain differential oil at correct level to
ensure adequate lubrication of drive axle wheel
bearings at all times.
If oil is to be added, use general purpose gear
lubricant SAE 85W/140 (API spec. GL5). Oil
must be added by removing the oil fill cap in
center of hub. To check oil level after vehicle has
been driven, wait at least 15 minutes to ensure
that oil has settled.
