CHASSIS LUBRICATION
MANUAL STEERING GEAR-Lubricant change is not necessary
unless the unit is disassembled for repair. At each chassis lubrication,
unit should be checked for leaks. If there is evidence of leakage from
the steering gear, the leak should be corrected and All-Season Steering
Gear Lubricant added to bring to proper level. If unit does not leak,
it is only necessary to check level once yearly (preferably in the fall).
'-
EVER-LEVEL AIR RIDE COMPRESSOR-It is not necessary to
change fluid unless the unit is removed for repairs. However, if there
are any leaks in the
system
they
should
be c~rrected and the fluid
level checked. The fluid reservoir is located on the rear of the com-
pressor. Add enough Hydra-Matic fluid (Page 31) to bring level up to
the "FULL" mark on the indicator. A good grade of S.A.E. lOW oil
may be temporarily used for an emergency. When Ever-Level air ride
and power steering are used in conjunction, the po":'er steering pump
reservoir replaces the Ever-Level air ride compressor reservoir and
provides lubricatioll for both units. Therefore, fill only the power
steering reservoir to the specified level.
EVER-LEVEL AIR RIDE RESERVOIR TANK-The Ever-Level
air ride reservoir tank, located within the forward end of the right
front fender, should be drained
at·
each chassis lubrication.
POWER STEERING-It is not necessary to change fluid unless the
unit is disassembled for
repairs.
However, if there are any
leaks
in the
system
they should be corrected and the fluid level checked. Add fluid
recommended for Hydra-Matic
(Page
31) to bring level up to mark
near top of
reservoir.
In an emergency, a good grade of SAE lOW oil
may be used, but should be replaced with specified fluid as soon
as possible.
.,
On cars equipped with both power
steering
and Ever-Level air
ride,
it is necessary to fill only the power steering reservoir to the proper
level. When these units are used in conjunction, oil taken from the
power steering pu~p lubricates the Eve~;Level air ride compressor.
SYNCHRO-MESH TRANSMISSION-Lubricant change in the
Synchro-Mesh transmission is not recommended unless repair work is
being done. Check transmission for leaks at each chassis lubrication.
If there is evidence of leakage the leak should be corrected and lubricant
a?ded if needed. Refill capacity is 1.8 pints.
Use Extreme Pressure Gear Lubricant or Multi-Purpose Gear Lubri-
cant S.A.E. 80 or 90 (no special additives to these lubricants are
required or recommended).
