Maintenance Instructions
10. Correct any problems that were revealed during inspection
prior to operating the vehicle.
Supporting Your Vehicle for Service
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury, and
/ or death, always use floor stands to support the
vehicle before working under it. Using only a jack
could allow the vehicle to fall.
When performing service repairs on a vehicle, first:
1.
Park vehicle on level concrete floor.
2.
Set parking brake and / or install wheel chocks to
prevent vehicle from moving.
3.
Select jack with a rated capacity sufficient to lift the
vehicle.
4.
Raise vehicle with jack applied to axle. (
Do not
use
bumper as a lifting point.)
5.
Support vehicle with floor stands under axle(s).
If axle or suspension components are to be serviced, support
vehicle with floor stands under frame side members, preferably
between the axles.
Chassis Lubrication
New vehicles are lubricated at the factory. After the vehicle
is placed in operation, regular lubrication and maintenance
intervals, based on the type of service and road conditions,
should be established.
The loads carried, speed, road and
weather conditions all contribute to the frequency of lubrication
intervals. Thorough lubrication and maintenance at the specified
intervals will ensure Outstanding Life Cycle Value and will
reduce overall operating expense.
In some types of operation, and where operating conditions are
extremely severe (such as in deep water, mud or unusually dusty
conditions), the vehicle may require relubrication after every 24
hours of operation.
Only lubricants of superior quality, such as Fleetrite
®
lubricants,
should be used. The use of inferior products will reduce the
service life of the vehicle or result in failure of its components.
Navistar, Inc. recommends the use of Fleetrite
®
lubricants and
OEM original equipment parts.
The lubrication intervals specified should be performed at
whatever interval occurs first, whether it is miles (kilometers),
hours, or months.
These intervals are provided in
SECTION 8 — MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Air Conditioning Service Checks
Have your air conditioning system serviced each spring. The
refrigerant charge, cleanliness of condenser-evaporator cores,
cab filter, and belt condition are essential to air conditioning
performance.
Remove the fresh air filter(s) once each season and check
for things like dirt and lint.
Replace if necessary.
Vehicles
operating in unusually dusty conditions may require inspecting
and replacing the air filter(s) more often.
