Heavy-Duty Operation
If vehicle is subjected to conditions listed below,
maintenance should be performed twice as frequently.
• Desert operation
• Cold climate operation (below 0° C)
•Trailer or 5th wheel towing
• Frequent operation on dusty roads
• Frequent operation under maximum vehicle gross
weight
• Construction work
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water or
similar dirty conditions, have your brakes
inspected and cleaned and drive axle joints
greased as soon as possible. This will prevent any
abrasive material from causing excessive wear.
• Under frequent heavy duty operating conditions,
lubricate all grease fittings and inspect air cleaner
daily to prevent excessive wear.
