DRIVE AXLE WHEEL BEARING OIL LEVEL

Drive axle wheel bearings are lubricated by the
differential oil. Maintain differential oil at correct
level to ensure adequate lubrication of drive axle
wheel bearings at all times.

FRONT AND TAG AXLE WHEEL HUBS

The unitized hub bearings used on the NDS range
of axles are non-serviceable items. Bearings are
pre-adjusted, lubricated and have seals fitted as
part of the manufacturing process. The bearings
are greased for life and there is no need or facility
for re-lubrication.

COOLANT FLUID LEVEL

Coolant level is correct when coolant reaches the
middle of the surge tank sight glass when cold
(ambient temperature). Fill the tank as necessary
with the same 50/50 water- antifreeze mixture
normally used. Do not mix two different types of
coolant. Refer to the Maintenance Manual for
proper coolant type specifications or see the label
affixed near the coolant surge tank on the vehicle.
CAUTION
On Volvo D13 engine, use only Extended Life
Coolant (ELC). Do not add supplemental coolant
additives (SCA) to extended life coolant. Do not
use a coolant filter containing Supplemental
Coolant Additives (SCA).
