SERVICE PROCEDURES
DESCRIPTION
Service and maintenance procedures for compo-
nents and systems listed in Schedule "A" or "B" can
be found by using the Group Tab Locator index at
the front of this manual. If it is not clear which
group contains the information needed, refer to the
index at the back of this manual.
There are two maintenance schedules that show
proper service based on the conditions that the vehi-
cle is subjected to.
Schedule "A", lists scheduled maintenance to be
performed when the vehicle is used for general trans-
portation.
Schedule "B", lists maintenance intervals for vehi-
cles that are operated under the conditions listed at
the beginning of that schedule section.
Use the schedule that best describes the driving
conditions.
Where time and mileage are listed, follow the
interval that occurs first.
