WARNING
Exhaust fumes from the engine con-
tain carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. DO NOT breathe the en-
gine exhaust gas. A poorly maintained,
damaged, or corroded exhaust system
can allow carbon monoxide to enter
the cab. Entry of carbon monoxide into
the cab is also possible from other ve-
hicles nearby. Failure to properly main-
tain your vehicle could cause carbon
monoxide to enter the cab, resulting in
personal injury or death.
WARNING
Never idle your vehicle for prolonged
periods of time if you sense that ex-
haust fumes are entering the cab. In-
vestigate the cause of the fumes and
correct it as soon as possible. If the
vehicle must be driven under these
conditions, drive only with the windows
open. Failure to repair the source of
the exhaust fumes may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
NOTE
Keep the engine exhaust system and
the vehicle's cab ventilation system
properly maintained. It is recommend-
ed that the vehicle's exhaust system
and cab be inspected (1) By a compe-
tent technician every 15,000 miles
(24,140 km); (2) Whenever a change
is noticed in the sound of the exhaust
system; or (3) Whenever the exhaust
system, underbody, or cab is dam-
aged.
NOTE
Use only an exact replacement DPF in
exhaust systems. Using a noncompli-
ant DPF as a replacement could vio-
late these standards and also void the
emission system's warranty.

Driveshafts service manual and lubrication

Non-PACCAR Transmissions, Axles
and Hubs
For all non-PACCAR brands, see the

Checking Oil Level
For oil reservoir with side filler plugs
(transmission, axles, steering gear boxes,
transfer cases, etc.) the oil must be level
with the filler opening. Use care when
checking the oil level with a finger. Just
because you can reach the oil level with a
finger does not mean the oil level is
correct.
