CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WHEEL HUB 13017
On vehicles equipped with grease lubricated
wheel bearings, pack with wheel bearing grease.
Note: It is more precise to measure the oil level
in the wheel hubs according to the instructions
above than to refer to the indicator lines on the
hubs.
Caution: The wheel bearing oil fill cap has a
small vent hole in the center to prevent
overpressure in the bearing housing. Clean
occasionally by inserting a needle.
COOLANT FLUID
Coolant level is correct when coolant is visible
through the surge tank sight glass when cold. If
coolant level is low, fill system with the same 50-
50 mixture normally used.
SURGE TANK IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT 05066
Warning: Hot engine coolant is under high
pressure. Allow engine to cool down before
adding coolant.
WINDSHIELD WASHER RESERVOIR
The windshield washer reservoir is located in the
front service compartment door. The reservoir
has a capacity of 5.3 US gallons (20 liters).
Check fluid level regularly.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR 18332
The spray jets are located on the windshield
wipers and are angled to spray towards the
center of the windshield.
OTHER VERIFICATIONS
It is good practice to regularly inspect the vehicle
for signs of component wear and to perform
safety and maintenance routines.
AIR TANK PURGE
The vehicle may be equipped with up to six air
tanks. Purge accessory and wet air tanks before
each trip. The primary and secondary air tanks
must be purged at every oil change. Oil changes
should be scheduled at least every 12,500 miles
(20 000 km).
The accessory air tank drain cock is accessible
from the front service compartment. The wet air
tank drain cock is accessible from the engine
compartment. All air tanks are equipped with a
drain cock underneath the tank. Refer to the
"Lubrication and Service Check Point Chart" in
this chapter for tank locations.
Drain tanks by turning cocks counterclockwise.
