NOTE
Filter number is accurate at time of
printing. Confirm part number before
ordering or obtaining replacement.
The primary function of the power steering
reservoir is to keep the steering system free of
contamination and to dissipate excessive heat
that builds during extreme operating conditions.
Check the oil level in the reservoir every
6,000 miles or three months. The oil dipstick
ll is located on top of the reservoir in the rear
compartment. The oil level should be kept
between the full and add marks on the dipstick.
If adding of uid is required, use only 15W-40
motor oil.
Checking the Fluid Level:
1. Start the engine and allow it to reach
normal operating temperature.
2. While the engine is at idle, turn the
steering wheel left and right several
times.
3. Shut the engine off.
4. The easy grip handle is rotated
counterclockwise to remove the
dipstick.
5. Check the uid level on the “HOT”
side of the dipstick. It should be in the
area of “HOT” on the dipstick. This is
the normal range for the dipstick. DO
NOT exceed the full mark.
6. If the uid level is low, add uid in
small amounts, continuously checking
the level until the “FULL” mark is
reached.
7. Insert the easy grip handle back in the
reservoir and rotate clockwise until
securely fastened.
Hydraulic Filter
Change the hydraulic oil lter every 15,000
miles, or once a year, for cellulose element.
1. Using a 15/16"
wrench, loosen
the center cover
bolt.
2. Remove the bolt
and cover plate
to access the
spring and lter.
3. Remove the spring and washer to
remove the lter assembly.
4. After replacing the lter assembly,
reverse the process to re-assemble the
reservoir.
5. When attaching the cover plate in
the rubber cover seal, check for any
damage.
AIR INTAKE & CHARGE AIR SYSTEM
The air intake and charge air system supply
the engine with clean air for proper combustion
and performance. Air entering the system is
cleaned through a replaceable lter element and
monitored with an air lter restriction indicator.
The airow through the air lter is passed
through the engine turbocharger, which
pressurizes and heats the air. The heated
pressurized air then passes through the charge
air cooler, where the air is cooled before entering
the engine intake manifold.
The air entering the engine must be as clean
as possible, as contaminated air can cause
destruction of major engine components. Even
small amounts of contaminants can do major
damage to an engine.
INSPECT
The air intake system on a weekly basis,
looking for damage, clogged fins, loose
connections, and wear to the air ducting,
clamps, and filter housing. Check to
ensure that the ducting is not rubbing or
wearing on other components and that
all components are securely in place.
Have any problems investigated and
corrected as soon as possible in order to
prevent engine damage.
