LUBRICATION/SERVICE NOTES

Engine dipstick is located close to starter solenoid connectors which

contain 24 vdc and high amperage.

Use caution removing/installing

engine dipstick to prevent shorting across starter solenoids when

checking engine oil level.

Failure to comply may result in serious

injury or death to personnel or damage to equipment.

1. Check engine oil level daily.

Oil is full when level is within crosshatch marks on

dipstick.

Do not overfill.

Fill crankcase with OE/HDO specified for the ambient

temperature.

2. Check transmission/transfer case oil level daily with vehicle parked on level surface and

transmission range selector in Neutral (N).

Safe operating oil level is when

transmission/transfer case fluid level is halfway between "HOT ADD" line and "HOT

FULL" line on dipstick.

With engine at idle (500-800 rpm) for one minute and engine

coolant temperature at normal operating range (165-180

°

F (74-82

°

C)), check

transmission/transfer case oil level.

If level is below "HOT ADD" line, add one (1) quart

of oil and check oil level.

Repeat this procedure until oil level is halfway between "HOT

ADD" line and "HOT FULL" line.

If level is above "HOT FULL" line, drain one (1) quart of

oil from transmission and check oil level.

Repeat this procedure until oil level is halfway

between "HOT FULL" line and "HOT ADD" line.

Use OE/HDO oil specified for the

ambient temperature.
