IMPORTANT: All wheel ends are factory filled with oil that
contains friction modifier. DO NOT add additional friction
modifier to factory filled wheel ends. The addition of
friction modifier to a factory fill will dilute the properties of
the oil and can reduce braking ability.
To assure a quiet brake condition when servicing wheel
end oil, use only recommended oils as defined in Table 1
or Table 2 on page 73.
If a noisy brake condition exists after a fresh fill from oils
listed in Table 1 only, add 6 ozs. (0,18 ltr) of friction modi-
fier per wheel end. NEVER add more than 6 ozs. (0,18 ltr)
of friction modifier to any wheel end as too much modifier
can reduce braking ability.
NEVER add friction modifier to the recommended oil listed
in Table 2. This oil already contains friction modifier and
additional friction modifier can reduce braking ability.
B. Oil Change (250 Hour Intervals)
1. Be sure that the drain plug on the wheel end
housing (Figure 49) is down. Level the vehicle,
ground the carriage, place the travel select lever
in (N) Neutral, engage the emergency brake
switch and shut off the engine.
2. Clean the areas around the magnetic drain plug
and vent plug.
3. Remove vent plug.
4. Remove the drain plug and allow the fluid to drain.
5. Move the vehicle so the arrow on the wheel end
housing is pointing down (Figure 49).
6. Fill the wheel end with oil (refer to “IMPORTANT”
statement below and tables on this page) to the
level of the drain plug. Capacity of wheel end is
approximately 54 ozs. (1,6 ltr).
7. Clean and install drain plug and vent plug. Drain
and fill three remaining wheel ends using the
same procedure.
