Maintenance Guidelines for Severe
Duty Applications
The above maintenance schedule is based on the average
typical application. If the vehicle is operated under "severe
conditions", service procedures shall be conducted
more frequently than specified. The frequency of service
under severe conditions is determined by the use of the
vehicle. The owner/operator must evaluate the operating
environment to determine the increase in maintenance
frequency.
In addition, the entire vehicle shall be inspected monthly
for signs of damage.
The following list is meant as a guide and is not all-inclusive
of a "severe duty" application.
• Operation in excess of 150 hours per month.
• Extreme temperature.
• Bumpy, dusty, or ill maintained roads.
• Excessively wet areas.
• Corrosive or contaminated areas.
• Frequent loading of the vehicle at or near capacity.
