LUBRICATION
Lubrication instructions in this manual show
recommended mileage lubrication intervals.
These mileages represent requirements for normal
services.
For severe service or unusual operating
conditions,
these
intervals
should
be
reduced
accordingly.
LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
DAILY
1.
Diesel Engines:
Crankcase oil level must be
maintained between the "H" (high) and "L" (low) marks
on dipstick.
NOTE:
Keep oil level as near the high level
mark as possible.
Cummins Diesel Engines:
Refer to "Lubricant
and Fuel" following UNIT REFILL CAPACITIES for oil
specifications and viscosity.
AS REQUIRED
2.
Battery:
Add distilled water to indicator level.
Do not overfill.
3.
Power Steering Pump Reservoir:
Keep
reservoir filled to indicator level with SAE 10W-30 engine
oil.
1600 to 3200 km (1000 to 2000 Miles)
4.
Propeller Shaft Slip Joint:
Under low pressure
force small amount of IH 251H EP grease or equivalent
NLGI #2 multi-purpose lithium grease into joint.
Excessive pressure and lubricant will damage oil seals.
5.
Spring Shackles, Spring Pins and Packs:
Lubricate through fittings until old lubricant, dirt and
water are expelled.
Use IH 251H EP grease or
equivalent NLGI #2 multi-purpose lithium grease.
6.
Pintle Hook:
Lubricate with engine oil.
7.
Drag Link Ball Joints:
Lubricate through fittings
until old lubricant, dirt and water are expelled.
Use IH
251H EP grease or equivalent NLGI #2 multi-purpose
lithium grease.
8.
Tie Rod Ends:
( Lubricate through
( fittings until old
Cab Lock Levers:
( lubricant, dirt
(not shown on dia-
( and water are ex
gram)
( pelled.
Use IH
251H EP grease or
equivalent NLGI #2
multi-purpose
lithium grease.
9.
King Pin Bushings:
Lubricate through fittings
until old lubricant, dirt and water are expelled.
Use IH
251H EP grease or equivalent NLGI #2 multi-purpose
lithium grease.
10.
Steering Column Slip Joint:
Lubricate under low
pressure.
Use IH 251H EP grease or equivalent NLGI
#2 multi-purpose lithium grease.
NOTE:
Too much
pressure will damage oil seals.
11.
Steering Column Universal Joint and Pillar Block
Bearing (not shown):
Lubricate under low pressure.
Use IH 251H EP grease or equivalent NLGI #2 multi-
purpose lithium grease.
NOTE:
Too much pressure
will damage oil seals.
12.
Brake Camshafts and Slack Adjusters (Front
and Rear):
Do not over-lubricate.
Use IH 252 H EP
grease or equivalent NLGI #2 multipurpose lithium
grease.
Slack adjusters without fittings or plugs require
no lubrication.
13.
Rear Axles, Forward and Rear and Power
Divider:
Operate truck; then let stand five minutes
before checking the lubricant level in forward rear axle.
Keep filled to plug level.
Drain at first 3000 miles and
every 50,000 miles or twice a year thereafter.
Use SP
type lubricant, SAE-90 viscosity year around, meeting
MIL-L-2105B specification and supplied by a reputable
refinery.
(SP must not contain zinc.) For abnormally
high temperature, severe service (hot climate, off
highway operation where vehicle is in low speed, heavy
hauling for prolonged periods), use SAE-140.
(Keep
axle vents clean and free from obstruction.) In new or
rebuilt axles, add gear lubricant to power divider (see
quantity specified) before initial running to insure proper
lubrication of pinion bearings.
NOTE:
Traction equalizer
axles, add 20 cc (2/3 ounce) of IH-LS additive for each
0.47 liter (1 pint) of SP lubricant used.
Accelerator Linkage (not shown on diagram):
Lubricate linkage, pivot pins and sliding surfaces with
light engine oil.
Radiator Shutter and Linkage (not shown on
diagram):
Vehicles equipped with automatic modulated
control radiator shutters (thermostat element mounted in
bottom tank of radiator), DO NOT OIL PINS AND
SLIDING SURFACES AT FREQUENT INTERVALS.
Vane bearings should be cleaned with light or
penetrating oil and blown out with air ONLY when
servicing complete shutter assembly.
Do not oil Cadillac
shutters.
Door Latches and Striker Plates (not shown on
diagram):
Lubricate with stick lubricant.
14.
Transmission Remote Control:
Lubricate
linkage with light engine oil.
15.
Transmission
(Automatic):
Only
Dexron
automatic transmission fluid is recommended.
When the
ambient temperature is below -23 degrees C (-10
degrees F) an auxiliary preheat is required.
Raise the
temperature above -23 degrees C (-10 degrees F)
before operating the transmission.
