MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Rear Axle: Check fluid level in the rear axle per the
recommended maintenance schedule. The rear axle is
provided with a fluid level check/fill plug (Figure 18) located
at the bottom of the differential. With the vehicle on level
ground, clean the area around the check/fill plug and remove
plug. The correct fluid level is just below the bottom of the
threaded hole. If fluid levels are low, add as required until it
starts to seep from the hole. Install the check/fill plug.
F IGURE 18
To replace the fluid, lift the vehicle per the lifting procedures.
Remove the rear axle cover and drain out the fluid into a
container. Clean cover mating surfaces as required with
proper scraping tool. Ensure cover lip is not bent. Apply thin
bead of RTV sealant and torque cover bolts 16-24 lb-ft.
Add 10-14 oz. 80W-90 Hypoid gear oil through the check/fill
plug hole or until fluid just starts to seep from the hole.
B
RAKES
The vehicle is equipped with a pair of rear mechanical drum
brakes which only engage for parking and/or emergency
stopping Service mechanical brakes per the recommended
maintenance schedule. Adjustments are made by turning the
connecting rod with a wrench (Figure 19). Normal braking
uses the regenerative braking controlled by the Combination
Accelerator/Brake Pedal. (The amount of regenerative
braking or deceleration can be adjusted within the Curtis
Motor Controller. See instructions on Page 29).
