Lubrication and Servicing
LUBRICATION AND SERVICING
These trucks are fitted with engine and
transmission oil pans which permit
operation at maximum gradeability as
designated in the ‘Performance Data’ section
of the relevant Sales Specification Sheet.
Lubrication is an essential part of preventive
maintenance. It is important that the instructions
regarding types of lubricants and the frequency of
their application be followed to prolong the useful life
of the machine. Periodic lubrication of moving parts
reduces to a minimum the possibility of mechanical
failures.
All change and service periods are recommendations
based on average operating conditions. Lubricants
showing evidence of excessive heat, oxidation or dirt
should be changed more frequently to prevent these
conditions.
Lubricant change and service periods must be
established on the basis of individual job conditions,
utilizing oil sampling and recommendations from
lubricant suppliers.
Thoroughly clean all fittings, caps, plugs, etc., to
prevent dirt from entering any system while carrying
out servicing procedures. Lubricants must be at
operating temperature when draining.
Note: Do not operate any system unless the oil level
is within the recommended operating levels as
indicated on oil level dipstick, sight gauge or level
plug.
Small circles on the following illustration represent
points at which lubrication or servicing must take
place, at the intervals indicated on the left-hand side
of the lubrication chart. The numbers on the
illustration contain reference numbers which is given
in the ‘Ref. Points’ column of the Lubrication and
Service chart.
TRANSMISSION FLUID - Transynd RD
For non TranSynd RD filled transmissions refer to the
service schedule detailed from page 8-5 onwards.
Note: For units filled with TranSynd RD, the service
schedule for the transmission differs from those
which are filled with EO. The use of any other oil in
units which are TranSynd RD filled may result in damage to
the transmission.
Trucks filled with Allison TranSynd RD oil should
only be filled with TranSynd RD oil at drain and
refill intervals. Use of other oils or mixing of oils
is prohibited and may cause damage to the
transmission. If there is any uncertainty consult
the manufacturer.
For TranSynd RD filled transmissions, refer to page 8-7 for
service intervals and recommended lubricant details.
