Heavy Duty Operation
If the vehicle is subjected to conditions listed below, maintenance should be performed twice as frequently.
• Desert operation
• Cold climate operation (below 32° F)
• Trailer or 5th wheel towing
• Frequent operation on dusty roads
• Frequent operation under maximum vehicle gross weight
