MISCELLANEOUS SERVICING
INSPECTION AT DELIVERY OF A NEW VEHICLE
Rear Ride Cylinders - check the extension of the rear ride
cylinders, and recharge with with oil and nitrogen if
necessary. This is required because in some circumstances
nitrogen is evacuated from the cylinders to lower the body for
transportation, and cylinder oil may be lost also during the
evacuation process.
Permanent damage may occur when operating the
truck with inadequately charged rear ride cylinders,
as the rear axle will impinge on the bump stops.
WHEN REQUIRED
Seat Belts - Inspect seat belts and replace if damaged.
Replace seat belts at least once every three years,
regardless of appearance.
Note: Replace seat belts at least once every three years,
regardless of appearance.
Windscreen Wipers and Washers - Inspect wiper blades and
eplace if damaged. Top up washer reservoir.
Wheel Rim Nuts - After first 10 hours of operation re-torque
nuts to 813 Nm (600 lbf ft). Check torque every 50 hours (weekly)
thereafter.
EVERY 10 HOURS OF OPERATION
Walk Around Inspection - Inspect the machine as described
in Section 4.
Engine - Visually check engine for damage, loose or frayed
belts and listen for any unusual noises.
Engine Air Cleaner(s) - Check air cleaner piping, hoses and
clamps. Change air cleaner element only when air
cleaner flow restriction warning light illuminates.
Service vacuator valves daily. Inspect and remove any
obstructions from thevacuator valve lips. Valve lips
should be open and pliable with engine stopped.
Note: Service air cleaner(s) more often under
extremely dusty operating conditions.
Radiator Header Tank - Check the coolant level and
replenish if low. Fill radiator header tank with coolant
until coolant reaches the bottom of the filler neck and
holds at that level.
NOTICE
Any time a significant amount of coolant is added,
the DCA4 concentration MUST be checked. If the
concentration is low, engine damage will
result. Conversely, over-inhibiting antifreeze
solutions can cause silicate dropout.Refer to
Section 210-0000, Cooling System, in the
Maintenance Manual.
Steering, Braking and Body Hoist Systems - Check
for correct operation of all systems before operating
the truck.
Steering Filter - Check steering filter restriction
warning light with the truck empty, brakes released,
oil at normal operating temperature, engine operating
at 1 500 rev/min and while turning the steering wheel
at one turn/sec. If the warning light illuminates, the
filter element should be replaced.
Rear Disc Brake Filter(s) -
Replace element(s) when indicator shows oil at the
replace element level.
AFTER FIRST 150 HOURS OF OPERATING
NEW OR REBUILT COMPONENTS
Transmission - Drain oil and refill (non TranSynd RD
filled transmissions only), replace filters (all oil types).
Differential - Drain oil and refill.
Planetaries - Drain oil and refill.
