Important Information about These Guidelines

Purpose

The purpose of these Drive Application Guidelines is to provide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) build-

ers of medium and heavy duty trucks with information about which Spicer

drive products are approved by

Dana Holding Corporation's Commercial Vehicle Products (Dana CVP) for use in common vocational applica-

tions in the USA and Canada.

Use of Guidelines

These Guidelines apply to on, on-off and off highway axle applications and vocations in the USA and Canada.

Vehicle applications that meet the specified vocation definitions and specified axle criteria are approved by Dana

CVP for use within the applicable General Requirements and Recommendations without formal review by Dana

CVP. Applications outside the specified vocations, duty cycles, ratings and all off-road applications must be

reviewed and approved on an individual basis by the Dana CVP Application Engineering Department. This

review requirement also applies to the approval of drive axles with available options.

Drive Warranties

Dana CVP's warranties for drive axles are set out in the

Spicer Warranty Guide (TCWY0900)

. Applica-

tions and installations must either meet the requirements of these Guidelines or be approved by the Dana CVP

Applications Engineering Department. Failure to obtain applications approval or the use of Spicer

axles or their

components in non-approved applications will void the Dana CVP warranty coverage. Modification of the vehi-

cle or drive axle configuration, changes in the vocational use, or service outside the limits of these Guidelines

will void the Dana CVP warranty coverage.
