Miscellaneous - Lubrication System
necessary. Test for proper function.
Note: This service interval applies to normal driving.
Check the pins more frequently under more severe
conditions. In the fully worn plate condition the indicator
pin is flush with the bottom of the counterbore.
Parking Brake - Check pads and discs for wear and
replace where necessary. Test for proper function.
Note: This service interval applies to normal driving.
Check the pads more frequently under more severe
conditions. Thickness of pad friction material should
never be allowed to wear below 3 mm (0.12 in).
Oil Can Points - Oil working parts with engine oil.
EVERY 1 000 HOURS OF OPERATION (6 MONTHS)
Transmission - Drain oil, replace remote mounted
filters, clean internal filter and finger magnet. Refill
transmission.
Hydraulic Oil Filter - Clean filter housing and install
new element when indicated, or after 1 000 hours of
operation, whichever comes first.
Brake Coolant Tank (TA40 only) - Drain oil, replace
filter and breather. Refill brake coolant tank.
Axles (ZF) - Drain lubricant and refill to level plug.
Note: When refilling centre axle ensure that 3rd
differential unit is primed with 1 litre (1.75 UK pints)
of oil before filling drive head.
Parking Brake - Check pads and disc for wear.
Adjust or replace if required. Test for proper function.
Thickness of pad friction material should never be
allowed to wear below 3 mm (0.12 in).
Articulation Vertical Bearings - IMPORTANT -
Use only grease which conforms to EMS19057
specification. Remove plugs and fit lube fittings.
Lubricate slowly until excess lube is seen. Remove
lube fittings and refit plugs.
Driveshaft Bearings - Remove plug from port on
underside of oscillation hub. Plug is removed to drain
the cavity of any oil that enters the cavity when filling.
Remove grommet and level plug on side of oscillation
hub. Add oil if required. Refit all plugs.
Grease Points - Grease door hinges.
EVERY 2 000 HOURS
Drivelines - Visually check Low Maintenance
drivelines for leaking or damaged seals.
Brake Coolant Tank (TA40 only) - Check oil level
and add if low.
Radiator - Check coolant level and add if low. Fill the
radiator header tank with coolant until coolant
reaches the bottom of the filler neck and holds at
that level.
Note: Any time a significant amount of coolant is
added, the coolant inhibitor MUST be checked. If the
concentration is low, engine damage will result.
Conversely, over-inhibiting antifreeze solutions can
result in silicate dropout. Refer to Section
210-0000, COOLING SYSTEM.
AFTER FIRST 100 HOURS OF OPERATING NEW OR
REBUILT COMPONENTS
Transmission - Drain oil, replace remote mounted
filters, clean internal filter and finger magnet. Refill
transmission.
Differentials - Drain lubricant and refill to level plug.
Note: When refilling centre axle ensure that 3rd
differential unit is primed with 1 litre (1.75 UK pints)
of oil before filling drive head.
Planetaries - Drain lubricant and refill to level plug.
Hydraulic Oil Filter - Clean filter housing and install
new element at 100 hours of operation, or when
indicated, whichever comes first.
Note: A 6 micron filter is used to flush the system.
This is replaced with a 12 micron filter for normal
use. See vehicle Parts Book for filter part numbers.
Brake Cooling Oil Filter (TA40 only) - Clean filter
within brake coolant tank after 100 hours of
operation.
EVERY 250 HOURS OF OPERATION
General Inspection - Check entire vehicle for leaks,
loose bolts and nuts or damaged parts. Examine the
vehicle, particularly the chassis, for cracks or broken
welds. Repair where necessary.
Service Brakes (TA35) - Check pads and discs for
wear and replace where necessary. Test for proper
function.
Note: This service interval applies to normal driving.
Check the pads more frequently under more severe
conditions. Thickness of pad friction material should
never be allowed to wear below 3 mm (0.12 in).
Service Brakes (TA40) - Check indicator wear pins
for signs of wear and replace friction plates where
