Transmission Maintenance
General maintenance recommomendations
for maintaining your vehicle's transmission.
See the transmission manufacturer's
operator's manual for lubrication
specifications and service intervals.
CAUTION
When adding oil, types and brands of
oil should not be intermixed because
of possible incompatibility, which could
decrease the effectiveness of the lubri-
cation or cause component failure.
Vehicles configured with Eaton Automated
or a PACCAR transmission must maintain
the oil coalescing desiccant cartridge of the
air dryer as part of transmission
maintenance.
CAUTION
Replace oil-coalescing desiccant air
dryer cartridge every 1 year regardless
of mileage. Only use oil-coalescing
desiccant replacement cartridge when
replacing. Failure to perform this main-
tenance task will void the PACCAR
Transmission warranty and may result
in expensive transmission damage.
Hydraulic Clutch
The clutch pedal transmits force from the
operator to the clutch via hydraulic and air
assist action. The clutch pedal position is
factory set and does not require
adjustment.
Clutch Hydraulic Fluid
Visually inspect the clutch fluid from the
reservoir. There are molded lines with the
letters MIN to indicate minimum fluid level
and MAX to indicate the maximum fluid
level recommended for proper operation.
Be sure to maintain the fluid between the
MIN and MAX levels indicated on the
plastic reservoir. If the fluid level repeatedly
goes below the MIN line, then it is time to
have your clutch adjusted or the hydraulic
system inspected for service. To replace
