operating in. You will find a complete
engine lubrication service guide in the
Engine Operation Manual that came with
your vehicle. The engine operator manual
contains specific maintenance tasks that
you or a qualified service technician need
to perform to maintain the engine.
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
death or personal injury.
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 vehicles cab ventilation system
properly maintained. It is recommend-
ed that the vehicles 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 (3) Whenever the exhaust sys-
tem, underbody, or cab is damaged.
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.
Transmissions, Axles and Hubs
See the manufacturer's operator's manual
for recommended lubrication specifications
and maintenance intervals.
Driveline Universal Joints
Refer to the Spicer Universal Joints and
Driveshafts service manual and lubrication
specifications.
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.
