CARE & MAINTENANCE
ENGINE COVER
· Remove the beverage tray from the engine
cover. Remove the drawer to expose the wing
nut fasteners that hold the tray to the motor
cover.
· Insert the supplied hex wrench into the hole
in the rear top or edge of the engine cover.
Unlatch
· Turn the hex wrench to the left (counter-
clockwise) to unlatch.
· Lift the rear end of the cover upward and pull
the cover from the opening.
· To reinstall the cover, position the front end
of the cover first, then lower the rear end. It is
important to be sure the front edge is pushed
completely forward to the radiator cover to
ensure an air-tight seal.
· Press the rear end of the cover down and turn
the hex wrench to the right (clockwise) until
the latch pulls the cover downward and stops.
· Refasten the beverage tray to the motor
cover.
Removal of the engine cover allows service
access to the engine air cleaner and other engine
parts.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Refer to your chassis operating guide for in-
formation and precautions on filling, servicing
and checking the fluid level.
NOTE: Your chassis engine cooling system is
filled with special extended-life coolant
that is not the same as common anti-
freeze available at retail outlets.
9-8
The coolant system MUST be refilled or
topped up with the same type of coolant
as equipped to maintain the special long-
life properties.
Workhorse chassis use GM Dexcool
LLC, which is a bright, pink/orange col-
or.
Ford chassis use Ford Premium Gold
(GO 5), which is a golden color.
CAUTION
When refilling the coolant system of
a vehicle equipped with a rear auxil-
iary automotive heater and motoraid
water heater, be sure to allow for
additional coolant capacity of the
heater and its supply and return
hoses.
TIRES
Low air pressure results in tire overloading
and abnormal wear and also affects handling and
fuel economy. Obtain proper inflation pressures
from your chassis operating guide or tire manu-
facturer.
WARNING
Make sure all replacement tires are of
the same size and ply rating as those
installed as original equipment.
See the Vehicle Certification Label affixed
to the rear edge of the driver's door for tire infor-
mation.
