Every Oil Change
ClutchLubricate the clutch release cross shaft and all
linkages.
Check the clutch fluid level.
Fuel SystemDrain the accumulated water or sediment from
the fuel tank(s).
Steering SystemLubricate the steering shaft(s), U-joints and
splines if equipped with grease fittings.
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins.
Lubricate the steering linkage when equipped
with grease fittings.
Lubricate the power steering gear output shaft.
*Coolant protection checks should be made just prior to the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the
prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and distilled water. Use only
permanent type coolant that meets specifications as listed in your engine
operator’s manual. See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for
supplemental corrosion inhibitor specifications.
Periodic Component/System Checks
The following are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either
by the owner or a qualified technician. It is recommended that
deficiencies be brought to the attention of your dealer or another
qualified service outlet as soon as possible so advice regarding the need
for service or replacement can be obtained.
Frequency Recommended Action
At every engine start up. Check ABS lamp operation.
After first 500 and 1000 miles (800
and 1600 km), then every 500 and
1000 mile (800 and 1600 km)
interval after tire removal or
replacement.Tighten the wheel mounting nuts
to the specified torque. See
Technical specificationsin the
Wheels and Tireschapter.
At least twice annually. Clean body and door drain holes.
As required. Clean windshield wiper blades.

Observation Maintenance Operation
Insufficient power shown in loaded
practice stop.Inspect the automatic slack
adjuster function.
Subpar vehicle handling qualities. Check the operation of the brakes,
clutch and steering.
1,2
Excessive noise from under the
cab or engine compartment.Inspect the vehicle for missing,
damaged or mislocated noise
shields.
Excessive engine noise. Check the engine performance and
the engine governor.
Engine overheats; excessive fan
noise; fan constantly runs at high
speed or wobbles due to worn
bearings.Inspect the fan, fan shroud and fan
clutch.
Excessive exhaust noise; smell of
exhaust fumes is experienced.Inspect the entire exhaust system
for holes, leaks, breakage,
looseness and corrosive damage.
Excessive engine compartment
noise.Inspect the engine air induction
system (including air ducts and air
filter) for loose, damaged or
missing components.
Poor steering; wandering;
excessive tire wear.Check front end alignment, inspect
the tires and tire pressure.
3
Vibration or abnormal tire wear
indicating imbalance.Balance the wheels and the tires.
Hard shifting or excessive
vibration.Check the transmission and engine
mountings.
2
High effort to shift; noisy
transmission.Check and adjust transmission
controls.2
Insufficient full-throttle power;
backfiring.Check fuel pump pressure.
Radiator cap does not hold
pressure.Clean the cap seal and cap surface
on the radiator.
Electrical power supply has
diminished.Check the battery terminals for
corrosion.

Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, March 2013
USA(fus)

Observation Maintenance Operation
Cleaning the wiper blades with a
clean cloth and mild detergent and
washing with a cleaner does not
restore a clean wipe.Replace wiper blades.
Noisy or difficult to operate. Lubricate body lock cylinders.
Headlamp beams in wrong position
when vehicle operating loaded.Check headlamp alignment.
Windshield washers do not spray
when operated.Check windshield washer fluid
level. Add fluid if required.
1During maintenance and repair, protect the fuel tube and the hose
assemblies, power steering lines, and brake lines from external heat,
acids and abrasions that could damage them.
2Check for (free) linkage action and make sure that (return) spring force
is adequate to maintain pedal free play.
3Adjust, repair or replace, as required, with the same or equivalent parts.
Emissions Control System
WARNING:Because of high engine compartment and exhaust
system temperatures resulting from emissions equipment, do not
park, idle or operate your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground
cover where the possibility of ground fire exists.
To make sure the emissions control systems operate effectively, you
should have the services listed in the maintenance schedule performed at
the specified time and mileage intervals. You should avoid running out of
fuel or turning off the ignition while the vehicle is in motion, especially
at high speeds.
Do not make unauthorized modifications to the engine or vehicle.
Modifications causing increased amounts of unburned fuel to reach the
exhaust system can significantly increase the temperature of the engine
compartment and the exhaust system.
Avoid driving your vehicle if it does not operate properly. If the engine
diesels (more than five seconds of engine run-on after shut-off), misfires,
surges, stalls or backfires, see your dealer. Be alert for fluid leakage, odor,
smoke, loss of oil pressure, or charge indicator or over temperature warning.
