Brake and Clutch Pedals
The brake and clutch pedals on all models are equipped
with pressure gun lubrication fittings. On Forward Control
the clutch and brake pedals are both lubricated from a pres-
sure gun lubrication fitting in the end of the shaft. On the
other truck models, the brake and clutch pedals have separate
fittings in the ends of the shafts, or in the clutch pedal support
casting. On all forward control and L. C. F. models, the clutch
idler support is equipped with a lubrication fitting. Use chassis
lubricant at these points.
Hydrovac or Airpak
The Hydrovac and Airpak assemblies are equipped with
lubrication plugs in the closed end of the shell approximately
I" from the bottom of the cylinder. Fill to plug level with
Bendix Vacuum Cylinder Oil or Delco shock absorber fluid
at 10,000 mile intervals or each six month period, especially
prior to the start of cold weather.
Conventional Steering Gear
The steering gear is filled at the factory with an all-season
gear lubricant. Seasonal change of this lubricant is unneces-
sary and the housing should not be drained. Whenever re-
quired, additions should be made using "Multi-Purpose" or
"Universal" steering gear lubricants.
Power Steering Gear and Pump
Service gear box every 1000 miles in the same manner
as prescribed for tJae standard steering gears. In addition check
fluid in power steering pump reservoir and make additions
using Automatic Transmission Fluid-Type A-required to
bring level to full mark on filler cap dipstick.
Transmission Controls
The ,steering column manual shift mechanism on
lf2
Ton
and % Ton models equipped with 3 speed transmission is
factory lubricated and should not require periodic lubrica-
tion. However, should the shifting effort become noticeably
greater, remove the cap on the gearshift control box and fill
box with a soft smooth grease.
