Maintenance Schedule

Most of these items should only be performed by a qualified technician. Details regarding the service
procedures can be found in the vehicle service manual.
Any problems found during an inspection should be repaired before the vehicle is put back into
service.

Maintenance Guidelines for Severe Duty Applications

The maintenance schedule is based on the typical application. If the vehicle is operated under
"severe conditions", then service procedures should 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 should be inspected monthly for signs of damage.
