Breaking In a NewVehicleTo ensure many years of reliable,trouble-free operation, the followingbreak-in procedures are recommended.

Refer to the preventive maintenanceschedules for recommended changeintervals for the following items:

• Gear oils (transmission, rear axlecarrier[s], front drive axle carrier,transfer case, flywheel PTO)

• Engine oil

• Oil filters

• Fuel filters

• Coolant conditioner

During the First 5000 Kilometers(3000 Miles)• After the first 200 km (125 miles),

retorque the wheel nuts using anaccurately calibrated torque wrench.Recheck this torque again after 800km (500 miles).

• Check oil and coolant levelsfrequently.

• Check brake and clutch adjustmentsper recommended maintenanceschedule, and adjust as needed.

• Observe the instruments often, andshut down the engine at the first signof any abnormal readings.

• Report all leaks, loose fasteners,unusual noises, etc., to the servicerepresentative at the nearest Mackdealership so they can be checkedand corrected.

Although this quality-built vehicle hasbeen inspected, lubricated and adjustedat the Mack Trucks Assembly Plant,occasional air, oil or coolant leaksdevelop. Quick action to correct theseminor items prevents major repairs later.Take the vehicle to the nearest Mackservice center if an abnormal conditionbecomes evident.

Initial Valve Adjustment IntervalsRefer to the Maintenance andLubrication section for detailedinformation concerning the Initial ValveAdjustment Interval.

Temporary Loss of PowerOutputWhen driving in difficult drivingconditions e.g. high temperatures, highengine speeds and high loads, thetemperature in the exhaust system maybecome abnormally high. This couldactivate the engine's protection system.The engine's power output is reducedtemporarily. The power output is

restored to normal performance whenthe temperature has dropped.

Contact an authorized Mack dealershipif the engine power output is notrestored.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Statement andLabelsMack Trucks cannot anticipate everypossible occurrence which may involvea potential hazard. An accident can beavoided by recognizing potentiallyhazardous situations before a dangeroussituation occurs. Correctly performedservice procedures are critical fortechnician safety and safe, reliableoperation of the vehicle.

DANGERDo not operate the engine in an enclosedarea. All internal combustion engines giveoff various fumes and gases whilerunning. Inhalation of exhaust fumes cancause death.

DANGERDo not sit in a parked vehicle for anyextended amount of time with the enginerunning if there are leaks in the exhaustsystem. Exhaust fumes could leak into thecab area and death can result. On aregular basis inspect the exhaust systemfor leaks and repair any leakage.

DANGERDriver attitude is the most important partof any effective vehicle safety system.Mack Trucks encourage all drivers andpassengers to use their seat belts, drivedefensively, remain alert and respect thespeed limits. Many accidents can also beavoided through regular vehiclemaintenance.

DANGEREngine-driven components such as PowerTake-Off (PTO) units, fans and fan belts,driveshafts and other related rotatingassemblies, can be very dangerous. Donot service engine-driven componentsunless the engine is shut down. Alwayskeep body parts and loose clothing out ofrange of these powerful components toprevent serious personal injury. Be awareof PTO engagement or nonengagementstatus. Always disengage the PTO whennot in use.

WARNINGCertain everyday procedures such aswashing the vehicle and cleaning thewindshield can also be hazardousbecause of the vehicles height. MackTrucks does NOT recommend climbing upon the vehicle to perform thoseoperations. Instead, stand on the groundand use brushes and squeegees mountedon an extension pole. When better accessis necessary (for instance, when washingthe cab roof), use sturdy ladders held inplace by someone on the ground.

WARNINGSecure loose objects. Loose objects in thecab or sleeper can be dangerous in asudden stop or on bad roads. Secure anyappliance added to the vehicle, such as arefrigerator or a radio.

WARNINGKeep clear of fan when engine is running.Fan may start to rotate at high speedwithout warning.

StartingWhen you start your truck, there areseveral things you can do to save fueland reduce wear on the truck.

Cold StartingYou can avoid cold starting by using theengine block heater.

If you start with a cold engine youshould switch on the air intake heatingfunction in your truck. The engine willthen be supplied with preheated airwhich results in easier and moreenvironmentally-friendly starting.

Never rev a cold engine. Warm up theengine by driving gently at low enginespeeds instead of letting it run at idlingspeed while stationary.

DRIVING TIPS

DRIVING IN AN URBAN AREA

Driving in an Urban AreaWhen driving in an urban area, there areseveral tricks that can enhanceefficiency.

Smart DrivingPlan your route to avoid unnecessarystops. You save more fuel and thetruck's service brakes, by using thetruck's auxiliary brakes as often as ispossible. If you have cruise control, youshould not use it in heavy traffic. If youuse it incorrectly it can lead tounnecessary braking and acceleration,which results in increased fuelconsumption.

Think about Cyclists andPedesteriansMany serious accidents occur betweentrucks and the softer road users such ascyclists and pedestrians. Correctlyadjusted mirrors give you good visibilityaround the vehicle, but be aware of theblind spots behind and in front of thetruck also on the passenger side.

Reverse Warning UnitThis vehicle is equipped with a ReverseWarning Unit (Back-Up Alarm) to alertpersons in the vicinity that the vehicle ismoving in reverse.

WARNINGThis vehicle is equipped with a Back-UpAlarm.ALARM MUST SOUND!Failure to maintain a clear view in thedirection of travel could result in seriousinjury or death.The operator is responsible for the safeoperation of this vehicle.

DRIVING TIPS

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY

Driving on a HighwayThere are many ways to enhanceefficiency when driving on a highway.

Remember that roads with many uphillinclines and bends result in higher fuelconsumption. For this reason, it is oftenwise to plan the most efficient routeahead of time.

Adapted SpeedIt is important to maintain a correctlyadapted speed. Higher speeds result inincreased wind resistance and increasedfuel consumption. Remember thatdoubled speed results in quadrupledwind resistance. You can reduce thetrucks wind resistance and thereforereduce fuel consumption by using aspoiler.

Gear Changing

Use the Auxiliary BrakesYou can reduce the wear on the truck'sservice brakes by using the truck'sauxiliary brakes.

You can also use the "Brake Blending"function for controlled braking. "BrakeBlending" assists the auxiliary brakeswhile you are braking.

Rolling ResistanceRolling resistance plays a major role inyour fuel consumption. It is important touse correctly adapted tires with proper

tire pressure. Check the tire pressure atevery refueling. Incorrect tire pressureresults in increased tire wear andincreased fuel consumption. Check thewheel axle settings on a regular basis ata Mack Trucks dealership.

DRIVING TIPS

DRIVING IN HILLY TERRAIN

Driving in Hilly TerrainYour driving technique in hilly terrain canmake a major difference to fuelconsumption.

UphillWhen approaching an uphill incline youshould try to maintain your speed andallow the engine to use the truck'spulling power at low revs to get you upthe hill. Release the accelerator pedaljust before you reach the summit andcoast over it. When you change gear, tryto drive according to the tachometerinstead of by engine noise.

DownhillOn downhill inclines you should try toavoid accelerating, and instead allow thetruck to increase speed by coasting.Regulate the downhill speed with thetruck's auxiliary brakes. Make it a habitto completely remove your foot from theaccelerator pedal while you arecoasting. Use cruise control sparingly inhilly terrain as excessive use may resultin increased fuel consumption.

Automatic TransmissionYou can use the truck's "Kick-down"function in order to obtain maximumengine power for driving on a steep hillfor example. This will give you anautomatic downshift.

DRIVING TIPS

PARKING

ParkingWhen you stop to park there are severalthings you should think about:

Avoid IdlingThe truck does not need to run at idlingspeed before driving off. Warm up theengine at low engine speeds. Avoididling during normal driving as well.Idling normally accounts for 5-6% oftotal fuel consumption, of which 50-80%is unnecessary idling.

Hard DrivingAfter a lot of hard driving you shouldallow the engine to run at idling speedfor several minutes while stationarybefore switching it off in order to reduceexhaust temperature.

DEF FluidWhen driving in colder climates 0 °C(32 °F), idle for at least 90 secondsbefore turning the vehicle off. This willensure that all DEF Fluid has exited thesystem.

Hot TiresTires may become hot after driving longdistances. This can create a hazardwhen parking on inclines in winteryconditions if the tires melt the surfaceunderneath to form ice, leading a vehicleto slide. To avoid, park on a level roadsurface under wintery conditions.

DRIVING TIPS

DRIVING ON A SLIPPERY ROAD

Driving on a SlipperyRoad SurfaceAlthough your vehicle is equipped withmany traction enhancing features, themost effective action is to adapt yourspeed to the present driving conditions.

Differential LockOn an extremely slippery surface, youcan engage the differential lock so thatthe wheels drive at the same speed.Drive carefully when you have thedifferential lock engaged. Do not forgetto disengage it when you leave theslippery area. If you drive with thedifferential lock engaged on firm groundyou risk damaging the driven axles andwheels.

Weight Distributed over DriveAxleFor a better grip on slippery roadsurfaces you can temporarily redistributethe weight on the driving axle.

SAFETY

SEAT BELTS

Seat BeltsRetractable Seat BeltsThe locking retractable seat belt isdesigned to lock (prevent belt travel outof the retractor) only during suddenstops or impacts. This feature allows theoperator to move freely under normalconditions.

Seat belts cannot be locked by jerkingon the belt, except during sudden stopsor harsh bumps. For the left-side seatposition, this type of seat uses acombination lap and shoulder belt. Forthe right-side seat position

The belt will relock at about one-inchintervals as it rewinds into the retractor.Be sure to pull enough webbing out ofthe retractor before stopping to insertthe end of the belt into the seat beltbuckle. Once it is buckled, the retractorwill pull up the excess webbing andrelock.

Belt Fastening Steps

1 Pull clip so the belt crosses yourshoulder and lap and insert it into thebuckle until an audible snap is heard.

2 Make sure the clip is securelyfastened into the buckle.

3 To tighten the lap portion of thecombination belt, pull upward on theshoulder portion until the lap portion

fits snugly. The belt should rest aslow on your hips as possible.

Belt UnfasteningPush down on the button to release thebelt.

CAB TILT

Cab Tilt OperationDANGER

Before attempting to tilt the cab, becertain to take the following steps:

• Park on a level surface.

• Apply the parking brake.

• Place the transmission in NEUTRAL.

• Shut off the engine.

• Secure all lose items within the cab.

• Close the cab doors.

• Ensure there is enough room to safelytilt the cab.

The cab is mounted on the chassisframe by two front hinges and two rearcab locks. This arrangement allows thecab to tilt forward to a maximum of 60degrees, exposing the enginecompartment for easy accessibility.

The cab tilt system uses one hydrauliccylinder. It incorporates internal safetyvalves which lock up automatically if thecab moves too rapidly in either direction.

The hydraulic fluid pressure imbalanceforces the check valves to seat, holdingthe cab in a hydraulically lockedposition. If this situation occurs,operate the pump in the oppositedirection to open the check valves. Thesystem will then be returned to normaloperation.

Tilting the CabUse the following instructions to tilt thecab:

NOTEBefore raising the cab, the engine must beshut off and all loose items in the cabmust be secured.

1 Take the cab tilt pump handle fromits stored position.

NOTEThe cab tilt pump handle is stored eitherbehind the folding seat or beside the rightside seat on the outer wall of the cab.

2 Insert the handle into the pump andmove the pump control lever to theRAISE position.

1 Pump Control Lever

3 To raise to the service position,pump the cab up to the SERVICEHEIGHT position.

1 Safety Prop

2 Thumb Screw

NOTEIn the service position, the cab must besecured with the safety prop.

4 To secure the cab in the serviceposition, loosen the thumbscrew andswing the safety prop down onto thesafety prop stud. The slot in thesafety prop should settle securelyaround the stud.

FUELING

DANGERDO NOT carry extra fuel containers in thecab. Fuel containers, full or empty, mayleak, explode or give added fuel to a fire.Failure to follow this precaution may leadto serious personal injury or death.

DANGERDO NOT smoke while fueling the vehicle.The glow from the cigar/cigarette canignite the diesel fuel, causing an explosionresulting in serious personal injury ordeath.

DANGERDo not remove the fuel tank cap near anopen flame. Diesel fuel vapors arecombustible and can cause an explosionor fire, resulting in severe personal injuryor death.

CAUTIONDiesel-powered engines for heavy-dutytrucks built on or after January 1, 2010 aredesigned to operate only with Ultra LowSulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel. Improper fueluse will reduce the efficiency anddurability of engines, permanently damageadvanced emissions control systems,reduce fuel economy and possibly preventthe vehicles from running at all.Manufacturer warranties will be voided byimproper fuel use. Additionally, burningLow Sulfur Diesel fuel (instead of ULSDfuel) in 2007 and later model year diesel-powered cars, trucks and buses is illegaland punishable with civil penalties.

Air is always present inside the fueltanks, entering mainly through the tankventilation. With the air being heatedand cooled, condensation is formed andwater is mixed in the fuel. To avoidcondensation when the vehicle is parkedfor longer periods, fill the tanks up to95% of capacity. Do not fill more thanthat, as the fuel needs to have room forexpansion during the heat of the day.

USE OF BIODIESEL

Mack engines are certified to complywith U.S. EPA and California emissionsstandards based upon the use of testfuels with specifications established bythese regulatory agencies. Alternativefuels, including biodiesel, that are notsubstantially similar to the required testfuels may adversely affect engineemissions compliance and may impactthe performance of certain emissionsaftertreatment components. As a result,Mack does not warrant the engine willconform to applicable Federal orCalifornia emissions limits whenoperated on, or having been operatedon, biodiesel or other alternative fuelsthat are not substantially similar tospecified test fuels used for certification.

STARTING THE VEHICLE

General Information

CAUTIONDo not engage the starting motor toosoon after an incomplete start of theengine, or the starter can be damaged.Wait at least five seconds beforeattempting to restart the engine.

CAUTIONIf the engine does not start immediately,limit cranking periods to 30 seconds toavoid overheating and damaging thestarter.

NOTEDo not rev the engine at start-up.Turbocharger damage can result becauselubricants need time to establish a filmbetween moving parts.

Before putting the key in the ignitionswitch, set the parking (spring) brake,disengage the clutch (if equipped) andput the transmission in NEUTRAL.

Starting MP Engines1 Crank the engine until it starts.

CAUTIONDO NOT crank the engine for more than30 seconds at a time; wait two minutesafter each try to allow the starter to cool.Failure to follow these instructions couldcause starter damage.

NOTEDo NOT apply the throttle pedal duringengine cranking.

2 After the engine has started, warmthe engine until the coolanttemperature reaches normaloperating range 77–107°C (170–225°F). Once the engine reaches thistemperature, it can be operated in anormal fashion.

NOTELow Idle speed is sufficient for warmingup the engine. Make sure that the parkingbrake is engaged during warm-up. Thisreduces the warm-up time for the engineby allowing an engine warm up process tobe performed correctly.

NOTEYou may notice a change in engine noteduring this process.

NOTEFor bobtail or unloaded applications, theengine can be warmed up by moving thevehicle with "light" throttle applicationafter only one minute of idle.

Priming the MP Fuel System

1 DANGERBefore working on or inspecting a vehicle,set the parking brakes, place thetransmission in neutral and block thewheels. Failure to do so can result inunexpected vehicle movement and cancause serious personal injury or death.

DANGERTo avoid potential fire hazard, do notservice any part of the fuel system whilesmoking or near flames, sparks or hotsurfaces. Also, do not service the enginewhen working on an operating engine.Failure to follow these precautions canresult in fire. To guard against burns fromhot fuel contact, wear adequate protectiveclothing (face shield, heavy gloves, apron,and so on) when working on a hot engine.

WARNINGDO NOT work near the fan with the enginerunning. The engine fan can engage at anytime without warning. Anyone near the fanwhen it turns on could be seriouslyinjured. Before turning on the ignition, besure that no one is near the fan.

Priming the MP Fuel SystemUnlock the hand primer pump bypushing the pump handle in andturning it counterclockwise.

2 Pump the hand primer until the forceof pumping increases.

NOTEWhen the fuel system is empty, 200 ormore pump strokes can be required toproperly prime the system.

NOTEThere are NO bleed nipples to be openedin order to prime the fuel system.

3 Lock the hand primer pump byretracting it into the housing andturning it clockwise.

4 Start the engine and run it at anincreased idle speed forapproximately 5 minutes to removeany remaining air in the system.

5 Check the fuel system for leaks.

NOTEIf the engine does not start following thisprocedure, contact your local certifieddealer.

Engine Warm-Up

CAUTIONIdling the engine unnecessarily for longperiods of time wastes fuel and foulsinjection nozzles. Unburned fuel causescarbon formation and oil dilution. To avoidengine damage, NEVER race an engineduring warm-up.

Engine damage can occur if the engineis not warmed up to a minimumoperating temperature of 77°C (170°F)before operating the vehicle.

Heavy-duty diesel engines are designedto operate at optimum efficiency whenthey are running loaded at normaloperating temperature. This condition iswhere the most efficient combustiontakes place. When the engine isoperated unloaded, lightly loaded (suchas stop-and-go operations, PTOoperations, or periods of extendedengine idling) optimal operatingconditions are inhibited. Also, cold-weather conditions, prevents theachievement and maintaining of normaloperating temperature. As a result,

carbon and/or varnish build-up occursand lubricating oil becomescontaminated with combustion by-products.

Cold-weather operations place addeddemands on a diesel engine. Whenoperating in cold climates (particularly instop-and-go operations, PTO operationsor periods of extended engine idling),maintain minimum operatingtemperature. Otherwise engine damageresulting from valve varnishing andcarbon build-up can occur.

NOTEMany accessories are available for cold-weather operations. Refer to theMaintenance and Lubrication Manual foradditional information concerning cold-weather accessories.

Engine IdlingIdling the engine unnecessarily for longperiods of time wastes fuel, foulsinjector nozzles and can lead to valvecarbon and varnish deposits. Unburnedfuel causes carbon formation and oildilution. Shut down engine whenprolonged loading or unloading of cargois required.

To prevent wear and possible damage tothe engine when it is cold, graduallybring it up to operating temperature

before operating at high engine speedsor full load. Ensure that the Park Brake isengaged, and allow 10 minutes of idletime before departing. Low Idle speed issufficient for warming up the engine, andyou may notice a change in engine note.Operate at partial load until the coolanttemperature reaches 75.

Engine Shut Down

Standard ShutdownAfter a hard run, allow the engine to idlethree minutes before shutdown in orderto stabilize the temperature of all engineparts. Quick shutdowns can causeengine damage and prevent theturbocharger from being properlylubricated.

Shutdown Option: Idle CooldownThis feature provides a means of coolingdown the engine and turbocharger. If theidle cooldown option is enabled and thesystem senses that the turbocharger canbe hot, the engine will not shut down.Specifically this situation occurs whenthe vehicle stops, the parking brake isset, and the key switch is turned to theOFF position. This feature allows thedriver to lock the truck and walk awaywhile still providing adequate cooldown.All switched accessories then turn offonce the engine has stopped. If thisoption is set, the engine can be shut

down immediately by cycling the keyswitch or by pressing the shutdownoverride switch.

The idle cooldown timer is set to 3.5minutes when the engine load exceeds25%. This state occurs if the engine hasbeen running at least 60 seconds. Afterthe load drops below 25%, the timerbegins counting down. If the key switchis turned off before the timer expires, theengine continues to run until the timerreaches zero.

If a pyrometer is installed, the idlecooldown function uses the pyrometerreading to shut down the engine. Thisaction occurs when the temperaturedrops below 232°C (450°F), or after 3.5minutes, whichever comes first.

The default for this option is set at OFFfrom the factory.

NOTEThe parking brake must be set for the idlecooldown function to work.

Engine Shutdown System (IfEnabled)The engine is protected by a system thatprevents engine damage. The systemshuts down the engine whenever apotentially damaging condition (such asloss of oil pressure, loss of coolant orengine overheating) is detected. If the

system detects such a condition, awarning indicator light and an alarmalerts the driver before the engineactually shuts down. Pressing theShutdown Override Switch on theinstrument panel shortly after the vehiclesounds the engine shutdown alarm,allows 30 more seconds of operation.This process can be repeated severaltimes to park the vehicle.

• There is not a time link betweenwhen the warning is activated andwhen the engine shuts down.

• For low oil pressure the engine isforced to idle immediately.

• For Coolant/Oil temperatures, thewarning light can come on and theengine begins to de-rate, but nothingelse occurs unless the temperaturecontinues to rise past the shutdownthreshold. Then the engine is forcedto idle immediately.

• The engine is not shut down until thevehicle speed has dropped below 3kph (2 mph).

• Moving a stationary vehicle to a safearea with an engine protection faultactive. The engine runs forapproximately 30 seconds beforeshutting down again.

CAUTIONContinuously overriding the shutdownsystem can result in severe enginedamage.

Engine Shutdown IndicatorDuring normal operating conditions, thisindicator illuminates when the keyswitch is turned on. After the engine isstarted, it will remain illuminated untilengine oil pressure reaches normal idlingrange. During shutdown, if the systemdetects a condition that could lead toengine failure, the Engine Shutdownindicator illuminates before engineshutdown.

Starting

WARNINGWhen starting the engine, make sure theservice brakes are applied. Failure toapply service brakes may result inunexpected vehicle movement.

No special procedure is required. Thekeypad and strip pushbutton selectorswill automatically initialize in N (Neutral)when the ignition is turned on. Forkeypad pushbutton and bumpshift leverselectors, the Vacuum FluorescentDisplay (VFD) will display “N” for Neutralbetween the SELECT and MONITORlabels. This indicates that Neutral has

been selected and attained, and theengine may now be started. Strippushbutton selectors illuminate a lampin the corner of the N button since theydo not have a VFD.

Cold Weather StartsIf a vehicle is started in cold ambientconditions below 5° C (23° F), thetransmission will be limited to 2nd,Neutral, and Reverse operation until thesump temperature exceeds 1° C (30° F).Once the sump temperature reaches thisthreshold, normal operation will resumefor the transmission.

If the transmission fluid temperature isbelow 10° C (50° F) follow theseprocedures when making directionalshift changes:

• To shift from forward to reverse,select N (Neutral) and then R(Reverse).

• To shift from reverse to forward,select N (Neutral) and then D (Drive)or another forward range.

NOTEDuring cold fluid conditions, always placethe transmission in N (Neutral) prior to anydirection changes.

NOTEFailure to follow these procedures duringcold fluid conditions, may cause theCHECK TRANS light to illuminate and thetransmission to be restricted to N(Neutral).

Preheating

CAUTIONTransmission malfunction or damage mayoccur if you operate the transmission withthe fluid temperature below the minimumfluid temperature specification limit.

CAUTIONThe engine should never be operated formore than 10 seconds at full throttle withthe transmission in range and the outputstalled. Prolonged operation of this typewill cause the transmission fluidtemperature to become excessively highand will cause severe overheat damage tothe transmission.

If ambient temperatures drop below thespecified minimum levels for the fluidtype, preheat the transmission fluidbefore beginning transmissionoperation.

Preheat the transmission fluid using oneof the following methods:

• Use an auxiliary heat source such asa sump heater.

• Operate the transmission in N(Neutral) with the engine running atidle for a minimum of 20 minutesbefore attempting range operation.

Transmission TemperatureThe Allison transmission fluid isminimum temperatures are:

• Fluid Type; TES 295, MinimumTemperature: -35° C (-31° F).

• Fluid Type; TES 389, MinimumTemperature: -25° C (-13 F).

The transmission is consideredoverheated if the temperatures are:

• Sump fluid; 121° C (250° F)

• Fluid to cooler; 149° C (300° F)

• Retarder out fluid; 165° C (330° F)

Typical continuous sump temperature is93° C (200° F).

If the engine temperature gaugeindicates a high temperature, thetransmission is probably overheated.Stop the vehicle and check the coolingsystem. If it appears to be functioningproperly, run the engine at 1200–1500rpm with the transmission in N (Neutral).This should reduce the transmission and

engine temperatures to normal operatinglevels in 2 or 3 minutes.

If the transmission and enginetemperatures do not decrease, reducethe engine rpm. If the enginetemperature indicates a hightemperature, an engine or radiatorproblem is indicated. If high temperaturein either the engine or transmissionpersists, stop the engine and have theoverheating condition investigated bymaintenance personnel.

NOTESome shift schedules may be inhibited asa result of operating conditions, such asengine or transmission fluid temperature.

FUEL ECONOMY DRIVING

GeneralThe absolute fuel consumption (countedin liters per 100 kilometers or miles perUS gallon) is determined by a largenumber of circumstances which can berelated to one of the following mainareas:

• Build specification and equipment

• Service and maintenance

• External environment

• Driving habits

Due to these factors, fuel consumptioncan vary considerably within what iscalled "normal fuel consumption." Fuelconsumption can vary from over 24L/100 Km (10 mpg) when driving emptyon a nice and dry summer road to 67L/100 Km (3.5 mpg) while driving withmaximum permitted GVW, with vehicleand trailer, on a hilly and slushy winterroad.

Build Specification andEquipmentWhenever a vehicle is used fortransportation, its build specification,equipment and gross vehicle weighthave a decisive effect on both fuelconsumption and performance. Thefactors which have the greatestinfluence on fuel consumption areprimarily: driveline combination, heightof trailer or superstructure, use of air

fairings, tire type, number of wheels,gross vehicle weight, and accessories.

Driveline Combination

Engine, transmission and final drivemust be selected in such a way that theengine can operate within the economicspeed range at normal driving speed.This range is defined as where theengine makes the best use of the energycontent of the diesel fuel. A poorlyselected rear axle ratio, which results inthe engine speed being constantlyabove the optimum speed, will increasefuel consumption.

Tires

Heavy duty tires increase rollingresistance considerably. For long haul,choose a smoother, ribbed type tire.Choose a lugged type tire only when theadded traction in mud and snow isneeded.

The number of wheels (axles) has adirect effect on the rolling resistanceand, thereby, the fuel consumption. Forlow volume and/or low weighttransports, use of a 4 x 2 instead of a 6x 4 should be considered.

If the tire pressure is too low, the rollingresistance increases and, thereby,increases the fuel consumption. Theoverall economy is also affected as tirewear increases considerably.

Gross Vehicle Weight

The gross vehicle weight of a vehiclecombination has a large impact on therolling resistance.

Accessories

As a rule, accessories such as roof rack,advertising signs, bug screens, exposedair horns, etc., have a negative effect onfuel consumption.

Service and Maintenance

A modern heavy-duty vehicle requiresregular and preventive maintenance toensure that all its components functionas they should. Use the recommendedpreventive maintenance (PM) programthat has been developed for thevehicles. This ensures optimal energyefficiency from all components that areimportant to fuel consumption.

STARTING AND DRIVING

FUEL ECONOMY DRIVING

Brakes

Dragging brakes increase fuelconsumption. They should be checkedregularly. It is important that the releaseaction of the air valves is fast and thatthe moving parts of the wheel brakes arechecked for good adjustment andoperation.

Axles

An axle out of alignment increasesrolling resistance. Regularly check thefront wheel alignment and axles on boththe tractor and trailer/semi-trailer. If theyare correct, there will be less rollingresistance and, therefore, lower fuelconsumption. A good sign of an axle orwheel out of alignment is uneven tirewear.Tires must be checked every time thevehicle is operated as part of the pre-tripinspection.

Engine

Faulty or incorrectly adjusted enginecomponents increase fuel consumption.The list below gives some typicalcomponents that can influence fuelconsumption:

• Blocked (on the outside) charge aircooler/radiator package

• Faulty thermostat

• Blocked fuel filters

• Blocked air intake filter

• Faulty injectors

• Blocked or malfunctioningturbocharger

• Air in fuel system

• Faulty fuel supply pump

• Faulty fan thermostat/clutch

External EnvironmentUnder unfavorable conditions, theexternal environment can have anegative effect on fuel consumption.This can be broken down into two maingroups: weather and wind, and thenature of the roads. Rain, snow, icyconditions and headwinds have a largenegative impact on fuel economy, as dohilly roads and uneven road surfaces.

Headwinds

Headwinds have a large negative impacton fuel consumption. With tailwinds, fuelsaving is only marginal.

Air Temperature

Low ambient temperature contributes toincreased fuel consumption.

Rain, Snow and Road Surface

A wet road surface increases rollingresistance and, thereby, fuelconsumption. Slush will increaseconsumption even more. In certaincases, the surface structure of the road

can also have a negative effect on fuelconsumption.

Gradients

A hilly road with many bends demands ahigher output from the engine. Thedifference between flat, straight roadsand hilly, winding roads can amount toas much as a 50 percent increase in fuelconsumption. When choosing yourroute, avoid hills, rough roads andfrequent stops.

STARTING AND DRIVING

FUEL ECONOMY DRIVING

Driving HabitsThe way in which a vehicle is beingdriven is the one factor which has thegreatest influence on fuel consumption.Correct driving saves fuel and reducesvehicle wear. To achieve optimal runningeconomy, the driver should alwaysremember to:

• Start the engine correctly (especiallyimportant in winter season).

• Maintain an even and correct speed.

• Keep the engine at its optimumspeed range.

• Use the correct uphill and downhilldriving technique.

Starting the Engine

Start the engine according to theinstructions in the operator's manual ofthe engine manufacturer. A proper start,especially during the cold season, savesfuel and reduces engine wear. Sluggishlube oil in the engine makes coldstarting more difficult. Therefore, it isimportant to always use engine oil withthe correct viscosity. (For the sake of theoverall fuel economy, it is also importantto have the right viscosity oftransmission and rear axle oils.)

Avoid High Engine Speeds

High engine speeds mean high fuelconsumption. Erratic driving also

increases fuel consumption when thevehicle is constantly accelerated andslowed down. Avoid a higherconsumption by steady, even driving.Refer to each engine manufacturer'soperator's manual for information on theengine's optimum operating range.

Hill Driving Technique

Use the inertia of the vehicle to go overthe crest of a hill under reduced power.Use gravity to help with accelerationwhen going down the hill. Build upspeed before reaching the next uphill.

AXLES

Differential Locks

DANGERDO NOT drive on dry, paved surface withthe differential lock engaged. The vehiclestrives to maintain a straight line. Taking acurve with the differential lock engagedcan cause an accident, leading to seriouspersonal injury or death.

CAUTIONNever operate the vehicle with thedifferentials locked any longer than isnecessary. This state places a great strainon the axles and can cause rapid tirewear.

Under normal traction conditions, do notengage the differential lock. If possible,do not use the differential lock whiletaking a curve. With good traction andthe differential lock engaged, the vehicleis under steered and therefore tends todrive straight in a curve. When using thelock on good traction surface, drivecautiously and do not exceed 40 Km/h(25 mph). Disengage the lock as soon aspossible.

When the differential lock is disengaged,the couplings can be under tension.Disengage the lock by returning theswitch to the OFF position. Help with thedisengagement by briefly letting up on

the accelerator to relieve the torque onthe couplings.

The drive axle can be equipped with thedifferential lock. The single drive axleonly has a wheel differential lock. Withtandem drive axles; there could be bothinterwheel differential lock and aninteraxle differential lock.

Use the differential lock on icy orslippery surfaces. When the slipperysurface is passed, disengage thedifferential lock. The differential lockmust not, under any circumstances, beengaged when in a wheel-spin situation.Engage the lock ahead of the slipperyarea. If already slipping, stop the wheels,engage the lock, and then continue.Engaging the differential lock when thewheels are spinning, damages thedifferential and the rear axle drive unitcould possibly fail.

All efforts must be made to avoidspinning the wheels at high speeds onslippery surfaces. This fact is truewhether the differential lock is engagedor not. Excessive wheel spin can resultin failure of the cluster gears, axle shaftsand other components found within therear axle housing. If unable to obtaintraction, engage the differential lock asdescribed. If still unable to move thetruck, seek assistance from a qualifiedtow operator. Engaging the differentiallocks must always be done as follows:

1 Press the service brakes. Ifnecessary, press the clutch pedal.Wait for the drive wheels to stopspinning.

2 Press the Differential Lock switch.

3 Select a suitable gear for thetransmission.

4 Release the service brakes. Ifnecessary, release the clutch pedal.

CAUTIONDO NOT rely on gauges to determine axlepressure. Weight must be verified onscales. Adjust the air spring pressureaccordingly.

Regulators for adjusting the air springpressure are on the outside of the cab,below the rear corner of the driver sidedoor. Regulators are operated by turningthe knob counterclockwise for loweringpressure, and clockwise for increasingpressure.

CAUTIONThe maximum safe operating oiltemperature for a Mack rear axle is 121°C(250°F) for mineral-based oil, and 148°C(300°F) for synthetic-based oil. Continuedoperation with oil above this temperaturewill result in rapid deterioration of the oil'slubricating properties and is NOTrecommended.

AXLES

NOTEEven when no traction is available at thespinning wheel, the driver can "feather"the brakes (apply the brakes slightly),creating enough resistance at that wheelto allow power to the axle with traction.Feathering brakes should not be donewith power divider lockout engaged.

Engaging the Power DividerLockoutInter-Axle Power Divider Lockout

The Mack power divider can berendered inoperative, during shortperiods of poor traction, using a powerdivider lockout. When the power dividerlockout is engaged, both axles arelocked together (in positive through-drive) for maximum traction with nodifferential action between axles.

It is not necessary to stop the vehicle toengage the power divider lockout.However, the lockout should beengaged while the vehicle is stationaryor is moving at less than 40 Kph (25mph).

CAUTIONTo avoid component damage, do notengage the power divider lockout if thewheels are spinning.

Normally, the Power Divider switch is inthe OUT (disengaged) position. In poortraction conditions, it may be necessaryto provide positive through-drive to bothaxles by flipping the switch to the locked(engaged) position.

1 Push switch to engage.

2 Momentarily release the acceleratorpedal to allow the shift to take place,then drive through the slippery area.

3 When driving conditions permit,unlock the power divider by movingthe Power Divider switch back to theOUT (disengaged) position. Thenrelease the accelerator pedalmomentarily (to shift out of thelocked position) and drive as usual.

CAUTIONDo NOT (under any circumstances)engage or disengage the lockout while thedrive wheels are actually slipping orspinning; clashing between the lockoutsliding clutch and the outer cam mayresult.

NOTEA lockout indicator lamp will remain lit aslong as the lockout is engaged. This is toremind the driver to release the lockout assoon as normal traction is regained.

List of Warnings

WARNINGUsing the retarder on wet or slipperyroads may cause loss of traction on thedrive wheels—your vehicle may slide outof control. To help avoid injury or propertydamage, turn the retarder enable to OFFwhen driving on wet or slippery roads.

WARNINGTo help avoid injury or property damagecaused by sudden movement of thevehicle, do not make shifts from N(Neutral) to D (Drive) or R (Reverse) whenthe throttle is open. The vehicle may lurchforward or rearward and the transmissioncan be damaged. Avoid this condition bymaking shifts from N (Neutral) to a forwardrange or R (Reverse) only when thethrottle is closed and the service brakesare applied.

DANGERTo help avoid unexpected vehiclemovement that might cause death,serious injury, or property damage, alwayshave your foot on the brake, the throttlereleased, and the engine at idle beforemaking a N (Neutral) to D (Drive); N(Neutral) to R (Reverse); D (Drive) to R(Reverse); or R (Reverse) to D (Drive)selection.

WARNINGIf you let the vehicle coast in N (Neutral),there is no engine braking and you couldlose control. Coasting can also causesevere transmission damage. To helpavoid injury and property damage, do notallow the vehicle to coast in N (Neutral).

CAUTIONWhen starting the engine, make sure theservice brakes are applied. Failure toapply the service brakes can result inunexpected vehicle movement.

NOTED (Drive) may not be attained due to anactive inhibitor. Always apply the servicebrakes when selecting D (Drive) to preventunexpected vehicle movement andbecause a service inhibit may be present.When the selected range is flashing, itindicates the shift to D (Drive) is inhibited.Determine if diagnostic codes are active ifD (Drive) is not attained.

NOTER (Reverse) may not be attained due to anactive inhibitor. Always apply the servicebrakes when selecting R (Reverse) toprevent unexpected vehicle movementand because a service brake inhibit maybe present. When R is flashing, it indicatesthe shift to R (Reverse) is inhibited.Determine if diagnostic codes are active ifR (Reverse) is not attained.

DANGERTo avoid loss of control, use acombination of downshifting, braking, andother retarding devices. Downshifting to alower transmission range increases enginebraking and can help you maintain control.The transmission has a feature to preventautomatic upshifting above the lowerrange selected. However, during downhilloperation, if engine governed speed isexceeded in the lower range, thetransmission will upshift to the next higherrange to prevent engine damage. This willreduce engine braking and could cause aloss of control. Apply the vehicle brakes orother retarding device to preventexceeding engine governed speed in thelower range selected.

OverviewSmooth automatic upshifts anddownshifts, without interruption ofpower to the wheels, occur in yourAllison automatic transmission based onengine rpm, throttle position, vehicleload, road speed, and driver or featurerequest, such as manually preselectingranges.

Allison automatic transmissions, alongwith a vehicle specification appropriatefor the particular duty cycle, can providesuperior fuel efficiency and optimum fueleconomy. On trucks with a manual orautomated manual transmission, thepower interrupts that occur during shiftsreduce the engine’s inertia energy,resulting in lower average wheelhorsepower. Because the engine is notworking efficiently, it cannot run at fullload. With an Allison automatictransmission, there is no power interruptduring shift changes. The inertia energybuilt up by the engine is maintained,equating to higher wheel horsepower. Asa result, not as much engine horsepoweris needed to get the job done. Allisonautomatic transmissions providesmooth, seamless shifts at all points ofthe power curve; there is no jarring

power interrupts to jostle the truck,driver or damage valuable cargo. Allisonautomatic transmission equipped trucksare more nimble in traffic and easier tomaneuver in congested loading zones,narrow alleys and around tight corners.You will have fewer freight claims andreduced cycle times, no matter howdifficult the route.

Shifter Gears• R – REVERSE: selects Reverse gear.

• N – NEUTRAL: selects Neutral. Thearea around the N button is a raisedridge so the driver can identify thepushbuttons by touch, withoutlooking at the display. It is notnecessary to press this button priorto starting the vehicle.

• D – DRIVE: selects the highestavailable forward range. Thetransmission shifts to the startinggear and will automatically upshiftthrough the gears, as operatingconditions permit, until the highestavailable gear is attained.

Upshifting and DownshiftingThe (Upshift) and (Downshift) arrows areused to change the range selected to ahigher or lower forward range:

• One press of the (Downshift) arrowsets range SELECT to the sameforward range as the current forwardrange attained shown in theMONITOR position on the display.

This type of preselect is called anExpress Preselect.

• Each subsequent press of the ↓(Downshift) arrow decreases therange selected by one range.

• One press of the (Upshift) arrowincreases the range selected by onerange.

• If the (Upshift) or (Downshift) arrow isheld continuously, the selected rangewill continue to change up or downuntil the button is released or untilthe highest or lowest possible rangeof gears is selected.

Shift SchedulesEach transmission shift calibrationincludes multiple shift schedules whichare used to control transmission shifts invarious operating conditions. The shiftschedules affect the timing of shiftsbetween gears. The actual number offorward gears is determined based onthe transmission model and the selectedrange position of the shift selector.

Vehicle performance may be affectedwhen shift schedules change. Thetransition between shift schedules canbe initiated by several different actions.

The transmission initially attains firstrange when D (Drive) is selected (exceptfor those units programmed to start in2nd range). As vehicle speed increases,

the transmission automatically upshiftsthrough each range. As the vehicle orequipment slows down, thetransmission automatically downshifts tothe correct range. The SELECT displayshows the highest range available in D(Drive).

NOTEThe vehicle OEM or bodybuilder isresponsible for evaluating the driveabilityof shift schedules in the intended vehicleand duty cycle. For additional detailsregarding these shift schedules and/orother options for primary and secondaryshift schedules, contact a qualified AllisonTransmission service outlet for furtherinformation.

UpshiftingAs long as the Transmission ControlModule (TCM) calculates that there isenough vehicle power and vehicleacceleration available to grant and keepthe next upshift, then there are no otherlimitations imposed on upshifting untilthe vehicle attains its top rangedisplayed in the SELECT display on theselector. Vehicle power and accelerationcharacteristics are monitored by thetransmission controls to attempt toeliminate shift cycling. Shift cycling is anupshift followed closely by a downshift,which is then followed by anotherupshift, and so on.

NOTEIf shift cycling is noted, use the alternateshift schedule by pressing the MODEbutton. The operator can also manuallyselect the next lower range (using the shiftselector) to hold that lower range untilconditions are met to grant the upshiftpoint again without shift cycling.

Hold Schedule for UpshiftsAs a standard feature of each shiftcalibration, the transmission controlsincorporate a "hold upshift" shiftschedule, which the operator may selectif the transmission is not operating in itshighest range. When this schedule isactive, the shift points for upshifts areraised in order to hold the transmissionin its current gear and inhibit upshiftingbeyond the current range. Holds areactivated by selecting the current rangeor a lower range on the shift selector.

CAUTIONA typical use of the "hold" feature is tomaximize engine braking when operatingdownhill. However, in order to preventoverspeeding the engine, the holdfunction is not infinite. It will permit shiftsfrom the hold range to the next higherrange at some speed above the shiftcalibration speed.

DownshiftingDownshifts are allowed to occur as longas transmission output speed is lowenough to keep from overspeeding theengine after completing the downshift.When a range downshift is manuallyselected by the operator, but thetransmission output speed isdetermined to be above the limits, thetransmission remains in the range eventhough a lower range was requested bythe operator. A shift to a lower range canoccur when the operator applies thevehicle service brakes or a retardingdevice, such as an exhaust brake,engine brake, or retarder. This actionreduces the transmission output speedwhich in turn lowers the vehicle speed,allowing the transmission to shift to thelower range.

Preselect Schedule forDownshiftsThe preselect downshift schedule issimilar to the hold feature. The operatormay initiate the preselect downshift shiftschedule by selecting any forward gearon the shift selector that is lower thanthe gear currently in use. When a rangehas been "preselected" in this manner,shifts to and from gears above thepreselected gear range occur at higherthan normal engine speeds. Shifts belowthe preselected range are not affected.Preselect downshifting is beneficial in

maintaining higher engine speed,resulting in increased engine braking orengine brake performance duringdownhill operation or vehicledeceleration cycles. However, preselectshifts are permitted only if an engineoverspeed condition will not occur aftercompletion of the downshift.

NOTEPreselecting during normal operation mayresult in reduced fuel economy.

Performance/Economy ShiftSchedulesCurrently, Allison Transmission offers thefollowing commonly available shiftschedules:

• S1 & S5 Performance: WOT upshiftsnear Full Load Governed Speed(FLGS).

• S2 & S6 Performance: WOT upshiftsat a fixed (less than 100) percent ofFLGS.

• S3 & S7 Economy: Upshifts atspeeds which pull engine down to afixed rpm after the shift.

• S4 & S8 Economy: Upshifts atspeeds which pull engine down to afixed rpm (and less than S3) after theshift.

• S9 Economy: Upshifts anddownshifts occur at speeds that areeven lower than the S4 shift strategy.

• SA Economy: WOT upshifts aresimilar to S1 & S5. The SA part-throttle upshifts and downshiftsoccur at significantly lower speedsthan the S5 part-throttle shifts.

• SB Economy: WOT upshifts anddownshifts similar to SA. The SBpart-throttle upshifts occur at slightlyhigher speeds than the SA part-throttle upshifts.

• SC Economy: WOT upshifts aresimilar to S3 & S7. The SC part-throttle and closed-throttle upshiftsand downshifts are similar to the SApart-throttle and closed-throttleshifts.

• SD Economy: WOT upshifts anddownshifts similar to S3 & S7. TheSD part-throttle and closed-throttleupshifts and downshifts are similarto the SB part-throttle and closed-throttle shifts.

Schedules S1 through S4 are typicallyused with engines using variable speedor all-speed governors. The differencesbetween the schedules is typically closeto full throttle. Schedules S5 through S8are designed to provide the same WOTupshifts as the corresponding S1through S4 schedules. However, the S5

through S8 part throttle shift scheduleshave been modified.

Non-Engine Brake OperationTwo choices of preselect shift schedulesare available for governing preselecteddownshifts during normal transmissionoperation. One of the following choicesis selected when the TransmissionControl Module (TCM) is programmedby the dealer or truck manufacturer:

• Standard Preselects – downshiftsoccur so the engine speed after theshift is approximately 300 rpm abovethe engine governed speed

• Low Preselects – downshifts occurso the engine speed after the shift isapproximately 150 rpm above theengine governed speed

Engine Brake OperationWhen the Transmission Control Module(TCM) detects the engine brake isenabled, it commands use of a preselectshift schedule in order to enhanceengine brake performance. The defaultspeeds for these shifts are known as theAlternate Engine Brake Preselects.

• Alternate Engine Brake Preselects –downshifts occur at engine speedsapproximately midway between1000 rpm and the Standard

118 X _Publication_PC29

ALLISON TRANSMISSION

Preselects for your transmissionmodel

As an option, the preselect shift pointsduring engine brake operation can bespecified to be the same scheduleselected when the TCM is programmedby the vehicle OEM for non-enginebrake operation:

• Standard Preselects – downshiftsoccur so the engine speed after theshift is approximately 300 rpm abovethe engine governed speed

• Low Preselects – downshifts occurso the engine speed after the shift isapproximately 150 rpm above theengine governed speed

NOTESpecify Standard or Low Preselects whenthe TCM is programmed.

The preselect schedule chosen abovewill be activated for downshifts thatoccur while the engine brake is activeand until operation in a specified gear isreached. This specified gear is theEngine Brake Preselect Range CustomerModifiable Constant (CMC) that isprogrammable using Universal AllisonDOC®. If this CMC is set to a valuehigher than 2nd gear, then downshiftsfrom the Engine Brake Preselect Rangeto 2nd gear will be made as standard

(nonengine brake) closed throttledownshifts. Additionally, if the TCM isprogrammed to make engine brakepreselect downshifts at StandardPreselects or Low Preselects speeds,downshifts between the Engine BrakePreselected Range to an even lowergear can be specified to use theAlternate Engine Brake Preselectdownshift speeds. The lowest gear touse this downshift schedule is also aCMC (Alternate Engine Brake PreselectRange). If this option is specified and theAlternate Engine Brake Preselect RangeCMC is higher than 2nd gear, downshiftsfrom the Alternate Engine BrakePreselect Range to 2nd gear usesnormal (nonpreselect) closed throttleshift speeds.

NOTEIf an exhaust brake or engine compressionbrake is installed on the engine, then theymust be integrated to the transmissioncontrols. Shift quality issues will arise ifnot properly integrated to the transmissioncontrols.

Retarder ModeThe retarder mode shift schedule isautomatically activated when theretarder is switched on in order to raiseclosed throttle downshifts for additionalcooling during retarder operation.

Retarder closed throttle downshiftsoccur at speeds approximately halfwaybetween the normal closed throttledownshift and the preselect downshiftfor each range.

Accelerator ControlThe position of the accelerator pedalinfluences when automatic shiftingoccurs. An electronic throttle positionsignal tells the Transmission ControlModule (TCM) how much the operatorhas pressed the pedal. When the pedalis fully pressed, upshifts occurautomatically at higher engine speeds. Apartially pressed position of the pedalcauses upshifts to occur at lower enginespeeds.

KickdownKickdown is an optional shift schedulewhich is activated when the kickdowninput function is enabled. If shiftschedule S2, S3, or S4 is in use andkickdown is active, all shifts revert toschedule S1, Wide Open Throttle (WOT)shift points. Similarly, if shift scheduleS6, S7, or S8 is in use and kickdown isactive, all shifts revert to schedule S5,WOT shift points.

NOTEDo not overfill the transmission.Overheating, oil foaming out of thebreather, and power loss may occur ifdriven while transmission is overfilled.

Only use fluids meeting AllisonTransmission specification TES 295 orTES 389 in the transmission. For a list ofcurrently approved transmission fluids,go to the Allison Transmission web siteat: www.allisontransmission.com, selectSERVICE, Fluids.

Allison Transmission recommends thefollowing into consideration whenselecting the appropriate fluid type foryour transmission:

• Fluids meeting specification TES 295are preferred over TES 389 fluids for usein all 3000 and 4000 Product Familiestransmission applications.

• TES 295 fluids are fully qualified forSevere Duty and Extended Drainintervals.

• A TES 295 fluid allows you to operateat a lower ambient temperature than aTES 389 type fluid. For transmission oiltemperatures refer to TransmissionTemperature section.• A TES 389 fluid is the minimum fluidrequirement approved for use in 3000and 4000 Product Familiestransmissions.

• To extend the TES 389 fluid drainintervals beyond the recommendedmileage or hours change interval, use afluid analysis program.

• When choosing a fluid type to use,consider what the minimum fluidoperating temperature of the fluid will bebased on the ambient temperaturesreached in the geographical location forthe vehicle.

Even though transmission fluid is notconsumed during transmissionoperations engine oil might be, periodicfluid level checks should be made priorto placing the vehicle in service or justafter returning from service. Periodicfluid level checks help preventmechanical failure of a vehicle ortransmission component. Periodicchecks also help to detect fluid leaks,cooler failure (contaminating thetransmission fluid), fluid overfill, fluidunderfill or the wrong kind of fluid usedthe last time the transmission wasserviced.

Check the transmission fluid level usingthe dipstick. The dipstick is marked withtemperature bands for a COLD and HOTfluid level check. The fluid check markedCOLD is designed to allow the fluid levelto be checked from 16° C (61° F) to 60°C (140° F).

There are two temperature bandsmarked on the dipstick to allow for

transmission fluid expansion when thetemperature increases. The lower band,referred to as COLD CHECK, is usedwhen the transmission fluid is belowoperating temperature. The upper band,referred to as HOT CHECK , is usedwhen the transmission fluid is at normaloperating temperature. The OEM mayrefer to these as COLD FULL/COLDADD (COLD CHECK) and HOTFULL/HOT ADD (HOT CHECK).

Cold Check

WARNINGIf you leave the vehicle and the engine isrunning, the vehicle can moveunexpectedly and you or others could beinjured. If you must leave the enginerunning, do not leave the vehicle until youhave completed all of the followingprocedures:

1 Put the transmission in N (Neutral).

2 Be sure the engine is at low idle (500–800 rpm).

3 Apply the parking brakes andemergency brake and make sure theyare properly engaged.

4 Chock the wheels and take any othersteps necessary to keep the vehiclefrom moving.

CAUTIONDO NOT start the engine until thepresence of sufficient transmission fluidhas been confirmed. Remove thetransmission fluid dipstick and be sure thestatic fluid level is near the HOT FULLmark.

CAUTIONThe fluid level rises as fluid temperaturerises. DO NOT fill the transmission abovethe COLD CHECK band if thetransmission fluid is below normaloperating temperatures. During operation,an overfull transmission can becomeoverheated, leading to transmissiondamage.

NOTEWith engine off, the fluid level shouldreach the hot run band or higher on thedipstick even at cold ambienttemperatures. The cold check band iscalibrated on the stick for the fluid levelattained while the transmission is runningand in N (Neutral). Do not move thevehicle until the fluid level reaches thecold full mark with engine running andtransmission in N (Neutral).

NOTEThe correct fluid level cannot bedetermined unless the transmission is in alevel position.

The COLD CHECK band verifies thetransmission has adequate fluid forstartup and operation until it can bechecked at the operating (hot)temperature. Only use this check toconfirm adequate fluid level for a coldstartup and not to set fluid levels for

Complete a COLD CHECK procedureusing the dipstick as follows:

1 Move the vehicle to a level surface,put the transmission in N (Neutral)and set the parking brake.

2 With the engine idling (500–800 rpm),shift to D (Drive) and then to R(Reverse) to clear air from thehydraulic circuits.

3 Run the engine at idle (500–800 rpm)in N (Neutral) for about one minute.

4 Clean debris from around the end ofthe fill tube before removing thedipstick.

5 Remove the dipstick and wipe itclean.

6 Insert the dipstick into the fill tube,pushing down until it stops, but stillin its loose or unscrewed position.

7 Remove the dipstick and observethe fluid level. If the fluid on thedipstick is within the COLD CHECKband, the level is satisfactory. If thefluid level is not within this band, addor drain as necessary to bring thelevel within the COLD CHECK band.

8 Perform a HOT CHECK at the firstopportunity after normal operating

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

WARNINGFor proper ABS operation, DO NOTchange tire sizes. The size of the tiresinstalled during production is programmedinto the electronic control unit. Installingdifferent sized tires could result in areduced brake force, leading to longerstopping distances or accidents.

The vehicle has a standard brakesystem, equipped with an electronicspeed monitoring and control system,Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). ABSmonitors wheel speed continuously butis not involved in controlling the wheelspeed unless there is an emergency. Innormal braking applications, thestandard air brake system is in effect.

There is a sensor installed in each wheelon a monitored axle. The sensorstransmit information to the electroniccontrol unit (ECU). The ECU interpretsthe signals and calculates wheel speed,wheel retarding and a vehicle referencespeed. If the calculations indicate awheel lock-up situation, a signal is sentfrom the ECU to the appropriate ABSmodulator valve to reduce brakingpressure. During emergency braking, themodulator valve alternately reduces,increases or maintains air pressure inthe brake chamber to prevent wheellock-up.

During emergency or reduced-tractionstops, fully depress the foot brake pedaluntil the vehicle comes to a safe stop.DO NOT PUMP the brake pedal. Withthe brake pedal fully depressed, the ABScontrols all wheels to provide steeringcontrol and a reduced braking distance.

Although the ABS improves vehiclecontrol during emergency brakingsituations, the operator still has theresponsibility to change driving stylesdepending on the existing traffic, roadand/or weather conditions. For example,the ABS cannot prevent an accident ifthe driver is speeding or following tooclosely on slippery surfaces.

The ABS control unit contains a self-testing program that is engaged eachtime the ignition is turned on. Theoperator can verify the testing bylistening for the ABS modulator valvesactuating twice in series. To increase thesound, hold down the foot brake pedalwhen the ignition is turned on.

If any of the ABS tell-tales come onduring driving or do not go out after ashort time after turning on the ignition,take the vehicle to an authorized dealerto repair the ABS or brake system. Thevehicle can still be driven with a problemin the ABS system. However, ABS is

disengaged and the standard brakingsystem operates only.

The instrument cluster also contains anABS tell-tale lamp, which indicates whena Trailer ABS system issue occurs.

PRE-TRIP INSPECTION AND DAILY MAINTENANCE

DANGERBefore working on or inspecting a vehicle,set the parking brakes, place thetransmission in neutral and block thewheels. Failure to do so can result inunexpected vehicle movement and cancause serious personal injury or death.

Safety is the most important andobvious reason for doing a pre-tripinspection. Federal and state lawsrequire inspection performed by thedriver. Federal and state inspectors alsoinspect commercial vehicles. An unsafevehicle can be placed "out of service"until the driver or owner corrects thedeficiency. Owners and operatorsshould familiarize themselves withsections 49 CFR 396.11 and 396.13concerning Federal requirements forvehicle inspection. Certain other lawsmay also apply.

Section 49 CFR 396.13 states that allmotor carrier drivers must complete awritten report at the end of each workday for each vehicle operated, coveringmost of what is covered in the pre-triplist. The report should list all defects ordeficiencies discovered by the driver. Apre-trip inspection prepares for the end-of-work report.

Starting on the next page are suggestedguidelines to be used in performingtruck, tractor and trailer pre-trip

inspections. Depending on theapplication of the vehicle being used,these guidelines should be modified toinclude other necessary inspectionpoints. For example, steps and grabhandles should be checked daily onrefuse trucks because the operator isgetting in and out of the cab morefrequently.

If any component or system does notpass this inspection, it must becorrected before operating the vehicle.Whenever equipment requiresadjustment, replacement, repair orlubrication, refer to the Service Manualsor contact an authorized dealer for thecorrect procedures, specifications andintervals. Take your time going throughthe pre-trip inspection. Remember that acareful pre-trip inspection saves time byeliminating unscheduled stops forcorrecting a faulty item. The followinginformation has been provided by theAmerican Trucking Association asdeveloped by the D.O.T. Office of MotorCarriers (BMCS).

Precautions and Warnings

WARNINGMisuse or modification of a turbochargercan result in serious injury and propertydamage. In addition, extreme care mustbe taken to avoid foreign materialinduction, excessive exhausttemperatures and lack of lubrication.

CAUTIONThe maximum allowable engine speed islisted on the warning label on the sunvisor. DO NOT exceed 2,300 rpm.

CAUTIONIf a winterfront is needed, use only awinterfront that was designed for thisspecific chassis. Winterfronts are notrecommended, but can be used duringcold weather with sustained temperaturesbelow -25°C (-13°F).

CAUTIONBe sure to avoid high intake/exhausttemperatures when using winterfrontsunder normal operating conditions (abovefreezing). The restriction of airflow cancause higher exhaust temperatures,power loss, excessive fan usage andreduced fuel economy.

CAUTIONIf a winterfront is used, a Mack-approvedexhaust pyrometer must be installed andclosely monitored while the engine is inoperation. Do NOT exceed the maximumtemperature indicated by the red line onthe gauge. To reduce exhausttemperature, downshift or reduce enginepower and open the winterfront.

CAUTIONDo not permit a heavy load to drive theengine above the governed speed.

CAUTIONOperate in a gear low enough to allow theengine to accelerate to (or maintain)governed speed when applying thethrottle.

DANGERBefore working on or inspecting a vehicle,set the parking brakes, place thetransmission in neutral and block thewheels. Failure to do so can result inunexpected vehicle movement and cancause serious personal injury or death.

DANGERDO NOT attempt to repair or service thisvehicle without having sufficient training,correct service literature and the propertools. Failure to follow this could lead topersonal injury or death, or making yourvehicle unsafe.

NOTERead all safety information before workingon the vehicle.

NOTEDo NOT use extended-life coolant inengines equipped with a coolantconditioner filter. A coolant filter thatcontains no supplemental coolantadditives (SCA) is available for use whenextended-life coolant is used.

ENGINE OIL

GeneralKeep the engine oil at the proper leveland change it at the recommendedintervals. Always replace the oil filters atthe same time as when the oil ischanged.

Oil QualityEngine oils that meet or exceed thestandards given by American PetroleumInstitute (API) for the oil classificationsare listed in this manual. Only oilslicensed to carry the API symbol shouldbe used. Lubricants meeting APIstandards have provided maximumengine life when used together with therecommended oil and oil filter changeintervals.

EO-O Premium Plus (or VDS-4) dieselengine oil is mandatory for use in allcurrent emission compliant engines.Chassis equipped with a DieselParticulate Filter (DPF) require the use ofUltra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel. EO-O Premium Plus oils exceed the APIservice category CJ-4.

CAUTIONDO NOT add extra oil additives. Additivessuch as break-in oils, top oils, graphitizersand friction-reducing liquids are notnecessary and can harm the engine.

Oil Change IntervalsThe length of time an engine canoperate before an oil change dependson the quality of oil used, the type of fuelused, fuel consumption, engine oilconsumption, vehicle application, levelof dust in the air and fuel consumption.The change intervals given in thismanual are maximum intervals. If thevehicle is operating in heavy-duty, dustyor off-road conditions more frequent oilchanges should be scheduled.

For additional information about oilchange intervals and approved oils,contact a certified dealer.

NOTEOil filters should always be changed whenchanging oil.

Oil FiltersThere are three filters on the engine, oneof which is a bypass filter. This shouldbe changed at the same time as the full-flow filter(s).

CAUTIONOil filters are designed to provide theproper level of filtration and protection forthe engines. Filters that do not meet thesame stringent requirements may voidengine warranty.

1 Spin-Off Oil Filters

Synthetic LubricationSynthetic oils are offered by some oilsuppliers as an alternative to thetraditional, petroleum based oils forengines. These oils may be used inMack engines, provided they meet thequality levels specified on the previouspages.

The use of synthetic oils does not permitthe extension of the recommended oilchange intervals. It is the contaminationrate, i.e., soot, and the depletion ofadditives, rather than base oil qualitythat determines the useful engine oil lifeand therefore the oil change intervals.

Oil ViscosityThe viscosity grade defines thethickness of the oil. The oil must be thinenough at low temperatures for easycold starts and thick enough to protect

at high temperatures. An oil is not fullydefined until both the oil quality (seeprevious pages) and the viscosity gradeare specified.

Choose the viscosity grade for thetypical ambient temperature for theapplication.Multigrade oils have a broadrange that suit operation in changingtemperature. The standard engine oilweight is 10W/30.

The engine viscosities shown in theviscosity/temperature table isrecommended.

Oil Additives

CAUTIONExtra oil additives must never be added toany engine oil used. Additives such asbreak-in oils, top oils, graphitizers, andfriction reducing liquids are not necessaryand may even harm the engine.

Using oils to the quality standardsrecommended in this manual makes theuse of extra oil additives unnecessary,as these oils already contain a balancedtreatment of additives.

Oil ConsumptionOnce the engine is stopped, check theoil level daily. If the engine has just beenstopped and it is warm, waitapproximately five minutes to allow theoil to drain back to the oil pan beforechecking. Add oil as necessary.

NOTEDO NOT overfill engine with oil.

All diesel engines are designed toconsume some oil, so it is normal to addoil periodically. An engine used in heavy-duty operation will consume more oilthan one in normal operation.

Oil Change

WARNINGA hot engine or engine oil can bedangerous. Serious burns can result fromcontact with a hot engine or oil. Takeprecautions when draining the oil. Weargloves or let the engine cool down beforedraining.

WARNINGWhen draining the oil, use the proper toolsand keep away as far as possible. Raisethe elbow so the forearm is parallel to theground to prevent oil running down thearm, causing burns.

ENGINE OIL

CAUTIONAlways dispose of all lubricants (motor oil,coolant, gear box oils, etc.) and filtersaccording to Federal and local regulations.Used oil disposed of in nature orwaterways contaminates our drinkingwater and kills wildlife.

CAUTIONProlonged contact with used engine oilmay be harmful. Use rubber gloves whenhandling used oil. Wash skin thoroughly ifit comes in contact with used oil.

It is important to drain as much oil aspossible. Try to change oil immediatelyafter driving, when the oil is warm.Always replace the oil filters whenchanging oil.

Oil Filters Change

WARNINGHot oil can cause severe burns. DO NOTallow hot oil to contact the skin. Whenchanging oil, wear protective gloves.

CAUTIONMack-branded oil filters are designed toprovide the proper level of filtration andprotection for Mack engines. Filters thatdo not meet the same stringentrequirements may cause unsatisfactoryresults.

1 Coat the filter gasket with oil.

2 Install the filter and turn it by handuntil the gasket makes contact withthe sealing surface.

3 Manually turn the filter an additional3/4 to one full turn.

Checking Oil Level

NOTEDO NOT let the oil level fall below themarking on the dipstick. DO NOT overfillso the level is above the upper marking onthe dipstick. This could lead to excessiveoil temperature and/or poor crankcasebreather performance.

Ensure that the vehicle is parked on levelground before checking the oil level.Wait five minutes after shutting off theengine, then proceed with checking oil.

Batteries

WARNINGBattery posts, terminals and relatedaccessories contain lead and leadcompounds, chemicals known to theState of California to cause cancer andreproductive harm. Wash hands afterhandling.

WARNINGAlways wear eye protection when workingaround batteries to prevent the risk ofinjury due to contact with sulfuric acid oran explosion.

CAUTIONWhen using a pressure washer to cleanthe vehicle, do not direct the spray atelectrical components in the enginecompartment such as the alternator,starter and compressors. Water sprayfrom pressure washers can damageelectrical components.

A maintenance-free battery does notrequire the addition of water for itsnormal expected life. Typical featuresinclude heavy-duty construction andwrought lead-calcium grid to resistvibration, shock, overcharge, heat andthermal runaway. Nevertheless, these

batteries are vulnerable to the ravages ofcold weather operation if totally ignored.

Battery RatingBe sure that the batteries used in thisparticular vehicle are rated for thespecified Cold Cranking Amperes(CCAs) necessary to ensure reliable coldweather starts. This is important, sinceeven well-maintained batteries chilled to– 18 °C (0 °F) may temporarily becapable of providing only 40% of theirrated capacity at 27 °C (80 °F).

Keep the terminals clean to preventformation of power-robbing corrosion. Inwinter, to avoid freezing the electrolyte,the battery must be fully charged. A fullydischarged battery will freeze solid at –5 °C (23 °F) and possibly sustainpermanent damage.

Before the onset of cold weather, besure to protect this vital component bymonitoring its condition as well as

inspecting the charging and startingsystems.

Battery WarmerA battery warmer can be added to raisethe temperature of the battery core andfacilitate quick starting in cold weather.

Battery ConditionThe first procedure when testing abattery is to check for external damagesuch as a cracked case, loose orcorroded terminals, or signs ofexcessive gassing or overcharging.

A battery must be fully charged before aload test is performed. Test the batterywith a hydrometer to determine the levelof charge.

On maintenance-free batteries equippedwith a built-in hydrometer (eye), thebattery condition is interpreted asfollows:

164 X _Publication_PC29

Page 175: Dear Mack® Owner - Big Truck Rental

MAINTENANCE, LUBRICATION AND SERVICE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 Green Dot visibleAny green appearance should beinterpreted as a green dot and meansthat the battery is at or above a 65%state of charge and is ready for use ortesting. This does not automaticallymean that the battery is in goodcondition.2 Green Dot not visible (Black Dot)This indicates that the battery is below a65% state of charge and must becharged before testing. A black dot doesnot mean that the battery isautomatically bad.3 Clear or Light YellowThis means that the electrolyte level isbelow the level of the built-inhydrometer, which may have beencaused by tipping of the battery, acracked case, or overcharging. Thisbattery should be replaced.

Electric and ElectronicSystems

WARNINGAlways wear eye protection when workingaround batteries to prevent the risk ofinjury due to contact with sulfuric acid oran explosion.

Check regularly around the engine andengine compartment for loose or frayedwires. Have all loose or frayed electricalwires and cables repaired beforeoperating the vehicle.

Grounding PracticesProper grounding for vehicle and engineelectrical and electronic systems isnecessary for proper vehicle and engineperformance and reliability. Impropergrounding will result in uncontrolled andunreliable electrical paths.

Uncontrolled engine electrical circuitpaths can result in damage to mainbearings, crankshaft journals surfacesand aluminum components.Uncontrolled electrical circuit paths canalso cause electrical noise which maydegrade vehicle and radio performance.

Operating engines without the engine-to-frame ground strap installed cancause damage to the engine. To preventelectrical discharge damage, check to

make sure the engines electrical systemhas an engine-to-frame ground strap. Allground connections should be tight andfree of corrosion.

DANGERThe engine uses high voltage to theelectronic unit injectors. DO NOT come incontact with the unit injector terminalswhile the engine is running. An electricshock can cause an involuntary musclespasm and cause loss of balance and fallsleading to severe personal injury or death.

Electronic Engine ControlSystemTampering with the electronic systeminstallation can be dangerous and couldresult in personal injury or death and/orengine damage. It is very important totake the proper precautions with theelectrical and electronic system whencharging the batteries, jump-starting orperforming electric welding on thevehicle.

This vehicle is equipped with monitoringfeatures that may cause reduced poweror shutdown under certain conditions.Monitoring and idling features can onlybe programmed and/or changed withelectronic service tools and passwords.

Certain features, such as low oilpressure, high coolant temperature orlow coolant level could cause the engine

power and/or vehicle speed to be limitedand the engine may also shut down.

DANGERFailure to take necessary action when theSTOP tell-tale is on can ultimately result inautomatic engine shutdown and loss ofpower steering assist. Vehicle crash canoccur, resulting in personal injury or death.

Wiring Harness / Cable andConnector ProtectionIf corrosion is seen at any external ring-type terminal connections, such asthose used at the starter, alternator,chassis and/or engine grounds, etc.Corrosion protectant must be applied tothe connection after disconnecting,cleaning and reconnecting the ringterminal. Additionally, corrosionprotectant should be applied to anyring-type terminal connector followingany type of service procedure whichinvolved disconnecting/reconnecting thering terminals (such as componentreplacement, troubleshooting, serviceand repair, etc.).

To help protect your vehicle's externalhigh amperage electrical cables andconnections from corrosion due to theeffects of newer salts (calcium chlorideand magnesium chloride) on the

roadways, use an approved corrosioninhibitor.

Coat all high amperage (positive andground) exposed electrical connectionsat a minimum of every 6 months or,whenever the connector has beendisassembled. The following listcontains the recommended connectionsthat should be liberally coated with thecorrosion inhibitor;

• Battery connections

• Battery main shut off switchconnections

• Maxi and/or Mega fuse connections

• All ground stud connections

• Electrical pass-thru connections

• All alternator connections

• All starter connections

• Intake preheater and preheater relayconnections

• Electrical power inverter connections

All connections should be cleaned andfree of previously applied inhibitors, oil,dirt, dust or other contaminants prior toapplication. Allow time for the product todry before use (drying time may varydepending temperature, humidity, etc.)

ChargingCharging should be conducted carefullyunder controlled conditions. Nevercharge a frozen battery. If a frozenbattery is suspected, thaw it in a warmarea for several hours before charging.

The following chart shows the normalcharging times necessary to reach a fullcharge at 26 °C (80 °F). In coldertemperatures, the necessary chargingtime may increase.

Completely Discharged BatteriesExtremely cold or completely dischargedbatteries may not initially show a chargesince the electrolyte is nearly pure waterand, therefore, a poor conductor. As theacid level in the electrolyte increasesduring charging, the charging current willalso increase. Use the followingprocedure when charging a completelydischarged battery:

1 Measure the voltage at the batteryterminals. If it is below 10 volts,current will be very low and may notshow up on many battery chargerammeters.

2 Set the charger on the high setting.

3 Some chargers have a polarityprotection feature which preventsaccidental reversal of the chargerleads. A completely dischargedbattery will not have enough voltageto override this feature, making itappear that the battery will notaccept a charge. Check the chargermanufacturer's instructions on howto bypass this feature.

4 Once the battery starts to accept acharge, the charging rate will risevery rapidly. Carefully monitor theammeter to prevent too-high acharging rate.

5 Proceed to charge battery at one-tenth of its rated capacity for one-half hour. Example: For battery ratedat 64 (amps-hour), charge at 6.4 ampsetting.

NOTEBatteries with very low voltage (below11.6 volts) or those that do not initiallyaccept a charge are not necessarilydefective. Batteries that have beendischarged for long periods of time maybe heavily sulfated or hydrated (containinglead shorts that cause the battery to self-discharge). To accept a charge, batterieswith either of these conditions may requirea longer charging time or a very high initialcharge.

Use the following chart to determine thetime required for the battery to beginaccepting a measurable charge. (If thebattery has not started to accept acharge after the specified time, it shouldbe replaced.)

Precautions When InstallingElectrical EquipmentConnecting electrically powered orelectrically controlled equipment to avehicle may cause interference withother vehicle electrical or electronicequipment (such as ABS systems,Rollover Stability Systems, etc.). Theamount of interference depends uponthe operating frequency of any newsignals and the degree to whichtransient signals are coupled to thevehicle system.

NOTEWhenever new electrical equipment isinstalled, it is the obligation of the installerto ensure that the new equipment doesnot interfere with the proper operation ofall other electrical systems on the vehicle.

If new electrical equipment is installed, avehicle checkout procedure should beperformed.

1 Perform the checkout procedureunder the following conditions:

• Engine running

• Brake system air pressure inoperating range

• Vehicle stationary

• Brake pedal fully depressed

2 Operate the new equipment under allstarting, running and shutdownconditions.

3 Listen for signs of air exhaustingfrom the ABS modulator valves(which is an indication of aninterference condition).

4 Correct all interference conditionsbefore operating the vehicle.

NOTEThe center pin of the standard seven-pintrailer electrical connector has beenstandardized as the dedicated connectionfor uninterrupted power for trailer ABS.This pin is always powered when thetractor ignition is turned on.

DANGERSome trailers manufactured prior to thetrailer ABS regulations may use the centerpin to power certain trailer auxiliaryequipment. The possibility exists that thisauxiliary equipment may be unexpectedlyactivated by the truck or tractor electricalsystem, resulting in personal injury ordamage to equipment. Caution must beused when connecting the trailer electricalconnector to ensure that power to thecenter pin will not unintentionally activateany trailer auxiliary equipment.

TURBOCHARGER / CHARGE AIR COOLER

DANGERIf oil leaks internally from the turbochargerto the engine intake, the oil acts as a fuel.Watch for excessive exhaust smoke. DONOT operate engine until problem iscorrected. There is no way to regulate theengine speed if it runs on oil and it mayover speed. Loss of control of vehicle maylead to an accident causing severepersonal injury or death.

WARNINGDO NOT remove, attach, or tightenturbocharger air intake ducting while theengine is operating, or operate the enginewhile the ducting is removed. Workingaround the turbocharger with the ductingremoved may cause severe personalinjury.

Visually inspect turbo mountings, intakeand exhaust ducting and connectionsfor leaks on a daily basis. Check oil inletand outlet for leaks or signs ofrestrictions to oil flow. Check for unusualnoise or vibration. If any faults aredetected, do not operate the engine untilthe cause is determined and repaired.

Charge Air Cooler and RadiatorPackage Cleaning

WARNINGAlways wear eye protection when cleaningradiator, charge-air cooler and condenser.Failure to follow this recommendation mayresult in eye injury.

CAUTIONWhen using a pressure washer to cleanthe vehicle, do not direct the spray atelectrical components in the enginecompartment such as the alternator,starter and compressors. Water sprayfrom pressure washers can damageelectrical components.

Periodically inspect the front of theradiator/charge-air-cooler package. Overtime, there may be a build-up of dirt,mud, insects, etc., between the radiatorand charge air cooler.

Over time the reduced air flow reducesthe heat transfer from the componentsto the air. This increases the load on thefan and air conditioning compressor andcan result in engine overheating andother performance related problems,such as high fuel consumption. Inspectfor build-up and contact your authorizeddealer, if necessary.

The simplest method to clean thepackage is to use air pressure or a water

stream. This should be done from theback of the core. Air pressure should notexceed 30 psi (200 kPa) for radiator andcharge air cooler cores. The use of a fincomb is also a good tool to loosen bugsand dirt from the fins. If dirt cannot becleaned off with this procedure, consultyour dealer.

Inspect the charge air cooler for cracksat every inspection. DO NOT operate thevehicle with a damaged or brokencharge air cooler. To do so would voidthe warranty and the engine will notmeet emission regulation requirements.

COOLING SYSTEM

DANGERCoolant is toxic; risk of poisoning. DONOT drink coolant. Use proper handprotection when handling. Keep coolantout of reach of children and animals.Failure to follow these precautions cancause serious illness or death.

WARNINGDO NOT raise the engine hood if you seeor hear steam or coolant escaping fromthe engine compartment. Wait until steamor coolant cannot be seen or heard beforeraising the hood.DO NOT remove the coolant fill cap if thecoolant in the surge tank is boiling. Also,DO NOT remove the cap while the engineand radiator are still hot. Scalding fluidand steam may be blown out underpressure if the cap is taken off too soonand can cause personal injury.

WARNINGCoolant may be combustible. Coolantleaked or spilled onto hot surfaces orelectrical components can cause a fire.Clean up coolant spills immediately.

CAUTIONMack Trucks does not recommend usingplain water in the cooling system. Wateralone is corrosive at engine operatingtemperatures and does not provideadequate boiling protection. The enginemay develop corrosion and cavitationproblems in the engine and radiator, andthe boiling point of the coolant is loweredcompared to a proper antifreeze andwater mixture. Failure to follow MackTrucks cooling system care/maintenancerecommendations can render the warrantyinvalid.

The cooling system plays an importantrole in overall engine performance bykeeping the engine within the normaloperating temperature range; hotenough for efficient combustion, andcool enough to prevent engine damagecaused by overheating. Good preventivemaintenance practices, along withmonitoring cooling system performance,go a long way in preventing enginedamage that could result from coolingsystem problems. The maintenanceitems and tests outlined in this sectionshould be performed at the intervalsspecified to ensure optimumperformance from the cooling system.

Surge Tank Cap (CabOver)The surge tank cap on your vehicle islocated on the left-hand side of thechassis, mounted on a stanchion to the

rear of the cab. This surge tank utilizes astandard radiator pressure cap. Checkthe coolant level regularly, making surethe coolant is visible in the sight glasslocated on the side of the tank. Removethe radiator cap and inspect the gasketfor any defects that would affect sealing.Also, pressure-test the cap using asuitable cooling system and radiator captester.

Surge tank cap pressure specificationsare as follows:

• MP7™ Engines 16-lb. pressure cap

1 Tank Cap

WARNINGDO NOT remove the fill cap while thecooling system is hot. Allow the system tocool sufficiently before removing. Turn thefill cap slowly counterclockwise and waitfor the pressure in the system to dissipate.After the pressure has dissipated,completely remove the cap.

COOLING SYSTEM

The main purpose of coolant is totransport heat from the hot parts of theengine to the radiator and to protect thecooling system from corrosion.

In addition to this, the coolant must:

• Protect against pitting and cavitationerosion damage of the water pump andcylinder liners.

• Protect against freezing and boiling.

• Prevent formation of scale, sludgedeposits and clogging.

• Be harmless to polymer materials andseals in the cooling system.

• Maintain its liquid properties in coldclimates.

Many engine failures can be traced backto a problem in the cooling system. If thecoolant level is allowed to go below thebottom of the tank, there is the risk ofthe engine shutting down. See theoperators manual for more informationon the warning functions.

NOTEAlways dispose of coolant according toFederal and local regulations. Take allused coolant to a recycling or wastecollection center.

Coolant mixture consisting of anantifreeze solution in water should be

used year-round to provide freeze andboil-over protection.

NOTEDO NOT use antifreeze formulated forautomobile gasoline engines. These havea very high silicate content that will clogthe radiator and leave unwanted depositsin the engine.

Coolant System Capacities

CAUTIONCapacities may vary due to hoses andsize of radiator, as well as accessorycooling equipment. After running theengine until normal operating temperatureis reached, check the coolant level andadd coolant as needed.

Use the chart shown in conjunction withthe Ethylene-Glycol and Propylene-Glycol Protection Charts in this sectionto determine the amount of antifreezeneeded to protect your vehicle.

AdditivesAdditives help prevent rust, scale andmineral deposits from forming. Additivesalso protect metals from corrosion,prevent water pump and cylinder linercavitation and contain anti-foamingagents. Additives are depleted duringnormal engine operation and need to bereplaced. For non-extended life coolantmixture, this means the addition ofSupplemental Coolant Additives (SCA)at any time the additive goes below therecommended level. For extended lifecoolant mixture, this means an extenderpackage added halfway through thecoolant lifetime.

Regular Coolant Change IntervalCoolant SCA level must be tested atleast twice per year or whenever coolantloss occurs. For maximum coolantsystem efficiency, test the system atevery engine oil change interval, every1,000 hours or every 6 months(whichever comes first).

WARNINGHot engine. Keep clear of all hot engineparts and fluids. A hot engine and fluidscan cause serious burns.

Regular Coolant Filter ChangeIntervalsThe charged coolant filter contains 8units of SCA that are released slowly

over time to maintain the recommendedlevel during operation. Consult engineservice manual for proper SCA level andchange intervals.

CAUTIONExtended life coolant will test as out ofadditives (SCA), but SCA should not beadded. Shortened engine life may be theresult of adding SCA.

NOTEDO NOT add supplement coolantadditives (SCA) to extended life coolant.

Should the extended life coolant systembecome contaminated with regularcoolant exceeding 10% of the systemstotal capacity or if SCA is added toextended life coolant, drain the systemand refill with new extended life coolantor regular coolant.

FUEL SYSTEM

DANGERA diesel engine will operate on any fuelwhich enters the cylinder, whether it isfrom the injectors or from the air intakesystem. Therefore, if any solvent is usedto clean out the air cleaner element, theengine may over speed during start-up.Engine damage, severe personal injury ordeath from burns or explosion may occur.

DANGERDO NOT mix gasoline or alcohol withdiesel oil fuel. This mixture can cause anexplosion and result in severe personalinjury or death.

DANGERDO NOT remove the fuel tank cap near anopen flame. Diesel fumes are combustibleand can cause an explosion or fireresulting in severe personal injury ordeath.

WARNINGIf a fuel leak is detected, stop the engineimmediately. The vapors from hot fuel arehighly flammable which may result in afire.

WARNINGDO NOT store fuel containers in thevehicle. They may leak, explode andcause or feed a fire. Empty or full, theypresent a hazard that may lead to burns inthe event of a fire.

Diesel Fuel Specification

CAUTIONDiesel engines for 2007 and later modelyear vehicles are designed to operate onlywith Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.Use of fuel other than ULSD will reducethe efficiency and durability of the engine,permanently damage the advancedemission control systems, reduce fueleconomy and possibly prevent the enginefrom running at all. Manufacturerswarranties are likely to be rendered voidby usage of improper or incorrect fuel,and usage of fuels other than ULSD fuel indiesel-powered vehicles is illegal andpunishable with civil penalties. Use of fueladditives to compensate for the lowersulfur content is NOT recommended.

QualityThe proper selection of fuel is essentialfor good economy, performance andengine life. No. 2D ULSD should beused when climatic conditions permit.No. 1D ULSD can be used during coldweather conditions. Blends of No. 1D

and No. 2D ULSD fuels can be used tosuit various climatic conditions.

NOTEThe use of lighter fuels (grade No. 1-D)can reduce fuel economy

Fuel Sulfur ContentFuel sold for use in diesel-poweredengines for 2007 and later model yearvehicles may only contain a maximumsulfur content of 0.0015% by weight.This was done to reduce particleemissions in the exhaust

NOTEThe use of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel doesnot permit extension of engine oil changeintervals or oil filter changes.

Cetane NumberDirect injected diesel engines require aminimum cetane number of 43 undernormal starting conditions. Fuel with ahigher cetane value may be required forhigh-altitude or cold-weather operation.

FiltrationFuel should be clean and free ofcontamination. Clean fuels should haveno more than 0.05% of sediment andwater.

FUEL SYSTEM

Fuel AdditivesFuel additives are generally notrecommended or needed for fuels listedearlier. Cetane improvers can be used asnecessary. Biocides may be needed toeliminate microorganism growth instorage tanks. In cold conditions,treatment for water in the vehicle tanksmay also be necessary.

Consult your fuel supplier about the useof additives to prevent incompatibilityamong additives already in the fuel andthe additives to be used.

Supplemental Fuel EnhancersThere are many aftermarket productsavailable today which are intended to beadded by the customer. They generallyincrease operating cost withoutproviding benefits. Included are a varietyof independently marketed productswhich claim to be:• Cetane improvers• Emission control additives• Detergents• Combustion improvers• Smoke suppressants• Cold weather flow improvers

CAUTIONSupplemental additives are notrecommended because of a high risk ofinjection system problems or enginedamage.

NOTERepair expenses resulting frommalfunctions in the fuel system or withengine components when fuel enhancershave been used are not covered underwarranty.

Some fuel additives may be usedtemporarily, but they do not replacegood fuel handling practices. Theseproducts can be used:• Isopropyl Alcohol Use 1/2 liter per 450liters (1 pint per 125 gallons) of fuel forwinter freeze-up protection.• Biocide For treatment of microbegrowth or black slime. Followmanufacturers instruction for treatment.

Prohibited AdditivesThe following additives are specificallyNOT allowed and must NOT be mixed inwith the vehicle diesel fuel:• Gasoline: Adding gasoline to dieselfuel will reduce the cetane number andincrease combustion temperature. If atank contains a diesel fuel/gasolinemixture, it should be drained andcleaned as soon as possible.• Used Lubricating Oil: Mack Trucksdoes not recommend the use of anytype of used lubricating oil as anextender in the diesel fuel. Usedlubrication oil contains solids and acidsfrom the combustion process that canseverely corrode parts of the injection

system, resulting in reduced power andhigher maintenance cost over time.

Alternative FuelsAlternative fuels can be of severaldifferent types. There are vegetablebased fuels, aviation fuel and recycledpetroleum based fuels that are used incombustion engines. These are ingeneral not compatible with modernheavy-duty over-the-road dieselengines.

The use of unauthorized fuels maycompromise the levels of pollutants inthe exhaust to the point where theengine does not meet the emissionrequirements. This would make thevehicle illegal to drive on public roads.DO NOT use any kind of alternative fuelunless specifically authorized by MackTrucks.

Fuel StorageIf fuel is stored on site:

• Keep storage tank covered toprevent water entry.

• DO NOT use a tank made ofgalvanized metal or any galvanizedpiping for diesel oil storage. Dieselwill react with the zinc, formingsolids that can clog fuel filters andcause engine damage.

• Fuel stored for a long time mayoxidize and form solids, causingfiltering problems.

• Keep the area around the fill capclean.

Generally, fuel contamination occurs asthe result of improper fuel handling. Themost common types of contaminationare water, dirt and microbial growth(black slime). The formation of varnishesand gums resulting from poor fuelstability or long storage (stale fuel) alsoaffects fuel quality. The best treatmentfor contamination is prevention bymaintaining a clean storage system andchoosing a reputable fuel supplier.

Fuel FiltersA primary fuel filter can be located onthe engine or remote mounted on theframe rail. This filter consists of a filtercartridge, a water separation bowl andmay have a fuel heater built in.

The secondary fuel filter is located onthe cold side of the engine, below theengine electronic control unit (EECU).The filter is a spin-on filter.

Mack MP engines utilize a spin-onprimary and secondary fuel filter. Bothfilters are located on the cold side of theengine

Tires

DANGERDO NOT attempt to repair wheels or tiresunless you are trained and equipped to doso. Wheel and tire assemblies cannot beworked on without proper tools andequipment. Failure to follow this may leadto serious personal injury or death.

DANGERDO NOT install regrooved, retreaded orrepaired tires on the steering axle(s). Theycould fail unexpectedly and cause the lossof vehicle control, leading to seriouspersonal injury or death.

DANGERDO NOT use mismatched tires on thesame axle. Always use the same type(radial or bias ply) or size. Mixing tires onthe same axle will affect the roadholdingand can lead to an accident, and seriouspersonal injury or death.

DANGERTires used on multi-piece rims must beassembled and inflated only byexperienced, qualified personnel. Tiresmust be inflated in a safety cagewhenever possible. If, however, a safetycage is not available, use a portable lock-ring guard. The tire must be deflated priorto removal of the tire-and-rim assemblyfrom the vehicle. Remove the valve core toensure complete deflation.

DANGERNEVER position your body in front of therim during inflation.

DANGERDO NOT install tires with a load rating thatis less than stated on the CertificationLabel in the door frame. The tire could beunintentionally overloaded, leading to anaccident, causing serious personal injuryor death.

WARNINGUNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shouldyou drive on underinflated or overloadedtires. A tire in this condition builds upexcessive heat which can result in suddentire destruction, property damage andpersonal injury.

CAUTIONNEVER use water-based sealants,puncture proofing, or liquid balancematerials containing water in All-SteelRadial Ply truck tires.

CAUTIONNever bleed air from your tires in anattempt to gain traction for a vehicle stuckin snow, ice or mud. This practiceprovides no additional traction andtypically results in under inflated tires.Never bleed air from a hot tire since thattire will then be under inflated.

Inflation PressureTo ensure maximum mileage and overallperformance from your tires, it isessential that they operate at the correctinflation pressure for the load carried.Check inflation pressure daily while thetires are cold. Always use an accuratetire pressure gauge. Refer to the specifictire manufacturer's information, or to thevehicle certification label for a completelisting of tire inflation pressures.

To adjust for pressure fluctuationsinduced by temperature changesassociated with winter weather, checkinflation pressure daily when the tires arecold (i.e., before the vehicle is driven).

Oil Contamination of TiresLubricating oils, fuel oil, gasoline andother petroleum derivatives, can softenthe rubber and destroy the tire.Preventive maintenance is necessary toensure that oil leakage does not occur.Inspect the following areas on a regularbasis:

• Axle end seals

• Engine seals

• Transmission seals

• Drive axle seals

• Oil filters

• Oil and hydraulic lines (if equipped)

Refer to specific tire manufacturer'sbooks, or to the vehicle certificationlabel, for additional informationconcerning tires and their care.

Wheels

DANGERDO NOT use oil or grease on studs ornuts. The tightening torque is affected andcan lead to incorrect clamping loadsbetween the rim and hub. This could leadto a loss of the wheel. Loss of vehiclecontrol and serious personal injury ordeath can occur.

DANGERBefore checking the wheels, set theparking brakes, place the transmission inneutral and chock the wheels. Failure todo so can result in unexpected vehiclemovement and can cause seriouspersonal injury or death.

DANGERDO NOT use mismatched wheelcomponents. If they do not exactly matchthe original design specifications, theymay cause failure or separation leading toblowout and an accident and personalinjury or death.

DANGERWheels must be serviced only by aqualified technician. DO NOT do this workyourself. Inflated tires on wheels containcompressed air and if suddenly released,do so with an explosive force, resulting inserious personal injury or death.

Check wheels for signs of rust streaksaround the wheel nuts. This indicateslooseness (steel rims). Inspect all typesof rims for cracks. Cracks can appear inmany places but typically radiate outfrom where a load is applied. Inspectclosely around wheelnuts, handholesand inside circumference.

ENGINE AIR FILTER

NOTEFor recomended intervals, refer to EngineMaintence Tables in the Engine section ofthis manual.

The air cleaner prevents dust, dirt andother harmful contaminants fromentering the engine through the airintake system. Maximum engineprotection can only be achieved throughregularly scheduled maintenancepractices that include periodic air intakesystem inspections and air filter elementchanges.

The most efficient method ofdetermining air filter element changeintervals is by regularly checking the airfilter restriction gauge, which may eitherbe mounted directly to the air cleanercanister, on the air cleaner outlet tube orinside the cab. The restriction gaugemeasures the amount of restriction inthe air filter element. Some chassis mayhave a dash-mounted dial-typerestriction gauge which measures filterrestriction in mm/inches of water.

Change the air filter element inaccordance with the procedures asoutlined, or the dash-mounted gaugeindicates inlet restriction as follows:

Mounted Gauge InletRestrication IndicationEngine Milimeters (Inches) Water/KPaMP7™ 510 (20) /5 kPa

1 Air Filter Restriction Gauge

Damage to the air filter element, such asholes in the filter media, will give aninaccurate restriction reading. Therefore,even if a maximum restriction is notindicated, the air filter element should bechanged yearly or at recommendedintervals, as described in this manual.

When replacing the air filter element, orwhenever the air inlet system has beendisassembled, inspect the inlet air ductsbetween the air cleaner canister outletand the turbocharger inlet as follows:• Inspect the rubber elbows for cracks,splitting and/or holes. Rubbercomponents must be flexible so thatthey conform to the plastic ducts andensure a tight seal.

• Inspect plastic ducts for cracks and/orholes.• Ensure that all hose clamps areproperly installed and tightened tospecifications.• Make sure the plastic ducts do not rubagainst any components such as airconditioning hoses, wire harnesses, etc.

Filter Element Installation

1 Wipe the air cleaner housing clean.

2 Remove the filter element(s).

3 Inspect sealing areas for dirt trackswhich would indicate that dust hasleaked past the seal. If dirt tracks arefound, the cause must bedetermined and corrected.

4 Thoroughly clean the inside of the aircleaner canister with a damp cloth orvacuum cleaner.

5 Inspect the sealing areas of thehousing for damage. Repair orreplace as necessary.

6 If equipped with a metal canister,inspect inside the canister for rust. Ifrust is present:

STEERING AND BRAKES MAINTENANCE

Steering SystemExcessive play in the steering system ischecked by turning the steering wheelwhile the engine is stopped. With thefront wheels pointing straight ahead,turn the steering wheel until the frontwheels starts moving. Then, turn thesteering wheel the other way until thefront wheels move. Play should not bemore than 25 mm (1 in) at the rim of thesteering wheel. If the steering play isexcessive, check the steering linkage forlooseness, wear, etc. Make necessaryrepairs before driving the vehicle.

Power Steering FluidThe power steering fluid reservoir isfilled with Automatic Transmission Fluid(ATF) Dexron III. This fluid helps maintainthe health of the power steering system.If the fluid has darkened, it indicates thatthe power steering system is runninghotter than normal and the fluid isoverheating. If this symptom is noticed,take the vehicle to a dealer fortroubleshooting and have the fluidchanged.

Checking Power Steering FluidProper fluid level should be between thelines on the dipstick.

Brake System

DANGERDO NOT use replacement parts anywherein the brake system unless it conformsexactly to original specifications. Anonconforming part in your vehicles brakesystem could cause a malfunction, leadingto loss of control of the vehicle resulting insevere personal injury or death.

DANGERDO NOT release the parking brake orattempt to move the vehicle until brake airpressure in both circuits is at least 100 psi(690 kPa). Failure to follow this proceduremay lead to uncontrolled vehiclemovement and cause severe personalinjury or death.

Air Brake SystemThis chassis features a dual brakingsystem which has two complete aircircuits: a primary circuit for rear brakesand a secondary circuit for front brakes.Each circuit receives air from separatereservoirs. Although there are two aircircuits, they operate as one brakesystem through the dual-circuit treadlevalve. This provides the driver with easy,graduated control when applying andreleasing the brakes.

The air pressure in the two circuits ismonitored by gauges on the instrument

panel. When air pressure drops below517 ± 34 kPa (75 ± 5 psi) in eithersystem at any time other than vehiclestartup, pull to the side of the road anddetermine the problem. If air pressurecontinues to drop below 55 ± 5 psi inBOTH systems, the Low Air PressureWarning indicator and buzzer will beactivated if low air pressure occurs ineither circuit.

In tractor applications, the Trailer SupplyValve (red octagonal knob) willimmediately pop out in the event of atrailer breakaway or sudden trailer airline failure, which will apply the trailerspring brakes. In the event of a slow leakin the trailer air system, the trailer supplyvalve will pop out when system Pressurereaches 70 psi. This protects the tractorair system from further pressure loss.

The air brake system consists of threemain elements:

• The compressor, governor andreservoirs supply and store the airpressure.

• The brake application valve controlsthe brake application pressures.

• The brake chambers control thebrake mechanism.

Air Brake Operation

CAUTIONAvoid sudden stops. Constant, suddenstops may negatively affect theperformance of braking and driving parts.

When slowing for a stop, leave theclutch engaged for as long as possibleto use the braking effect of the engine.When forward speed has dropped to alittle above idling speed, push clutchpedal in and brake to a complete stop.

Automatic Slack Adjuster

DANGERAutomatic slack adjusters MUST NOT bemanually adjusted in an effort to correctexcessive push rod stroke, as thiscondition indicates that a problem existswith the automatic adjuster, installation ofthe automatic slack adjuster or problemsrelated to components of the foundationbrakes. These conditions will not becorrected by manually adjusting theautomatic slack adjusters. Manualadjustment of automatic slack adjusters isa dangerous practice that could result inserious consequences. This practice givesthe vehicle operator a false sense ofsecurity about the effectiveness of thebrakes, and the brakes will likely soon beout of adjustment again.

Automatic slack adjusters are designedto automatically maintain proper brakechamber pushrod travel andcompensate for brake lining wear duringnormal use. Manual adjustment of anautomatic slack adjuster should neverbe performed except when performingbrake or wheel service (such as backingoff the brake shoes for wheel removal,brake shoe relining/replacement, brakedrum reconditioning, etc.).

When pushrod travel exceedsspecifications (as given in the "BRAKEADJUSTMENT" section of theMaintenance and Lubrication Manual,

5 Apply and hold the Service Brake.

6 Have an assistant check for properresults by observing the movementof the slack adjusters as indicatedbelow:

• The brakes on both the steeringaxle or the rear drive axle(s)should always apply as indicatedby movement of the slackadjuster.

• Check for air leakage.

7 Set park brake when done.

Air Tanks

DANGERDrain the air system tanks at therecommended intervals. If condensationaccumulates, moisture can enter thebrake system air valves, causing corrosionor clogging. The safety of the brakesystem could be compromised, leading toan accident causing severe personal injuryor death.

WARNINGWhen draining the air tanks, DO NOT lookinto the area of the draining air. Dirt orsludge particles may be in the air streamthat could cause eye injury.

Air tanks should be drained daily. Makesure the drain cocks close properly afterdraining. Empty moisture from air tanksby pulling the drain valve lanyard or pullcord. The tanks should be checked forcondensation fluid, even if an automaticdrain valve is installed.

It is very important that the air system iskept clean. If sludge or oil is found in thedrainage or an excessive amount of fluidis drained out of the tanks see yourauthorized dealer.

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE

SpringsThe spring package is fastened to theaxle beam with U-bolts. It is importantthat the U-bolt nuts are properlytightened. The nuts may loosen up withtime. Severe service will loosen themfaster. Loose U-bolts can cause springsto break, axle misalignment, hardsteering and abnormal tire wear. Inspectthe chassis for broken springs, shocks,loose or broken axle U-bolts. If any ofthese are found, contact your localMack dealer.

Spring BushingsWhen lubricating the springs, lift the axleoff of the floor, suspend the frame withaxle stands and lower the axle. Thespring bushings are now in the positionwhere grease can be added to thecontact surfaces. If the spring bushingsare greased without taking the load off,high wear and lower lifetime will occurbecause grease is not able to reach thecontact surfaces. If the vehicle is for

severe service applications, increase thefrequency of spring bushing lubrication.

Rubber BushingsRubber bushings are used for extendedservice life. If your vehicle is equippedwith rubber bushings DO NOT lubricatethem. Replace the leaf spring if it isdamaged or has premature or excessivewear.

LUBRICATION

Chassis LubricationGeneral lubrication includes lubricatingall the grease fittings in the drivetrain,front and rear suspensions, powersteering, and front axle, using a greasegun.

Grease the chassis every 24 000 km(15,000 mi). However, the lubricationintervals should be every 16 000 km(10,000 mi) or less to reflect heavy-dutyuse if the vehicle is in a demandingenvironment or running in a dirty orcorrosive atmosphere.

Lubricating GreaseUse grease with a lithium base with EPadditives and a consistency of NLGI No.2. Care should be taken not to use anygrease other than one with EP additivesfor the driveshaft. DO NOT use any solidlubricants, such as graphite, copper ormolybdenum disulfide.

Lubrication ProcedureMake sure the grease fittings arecleaned off before greasing fill grease tothe point where old grease andcontaminants are forced out from the

part and only new grease comes out. Ifnew grease cannot be filled so oldgrease is flushed out, the part needs tobe checked for problems. If a fittingdoes not accept lubrication due todamage or internal stoppage, replace it.

NOTEThink of greasing the same way as an oilchange. All old grease should come outand be replaced with new grease. Removeexcess grease from fittings, shackles andother surfaces.

VEHICLE CLEANING

Cab

CAUTIONWhen using a pressure washer to cleanthe vehicle, do not direct the spray atelectrical components in the enginecompartment such as the alternator,starter and compressors. Water sprayfrom pressure washers can damageelectrical components.

Wash all exterior painted surfacesfrequently to remove dirt. It is especiallyimportant to wash off salt-laden snowand ice during the cold season. A milddetergent approved for automotivecleaning can be used but avoid strongdetergents.

NOTEDO NOT aim the water jet directly at doorand window seals or door locks.If locksare filled with water, use compressed airto clean the water out and then applyliquid graphite. Be especially careful ofleaving water in locks or around sealsduring freezing weather.

Apply a coat of wax regularly. This willhelp the paint and other surfaces keeptheir luster. If the surface gets dull, use arestoring cleaner specially designed forthis.Clean off all tar spots and tree sapbefore waxing.

ChassisKeep the chassis free from buildup ofdirt. Make sure the chassis is cleanedbefore the maintenance inspections tohelp spotting leaks, etc. As salt can bepart of the road sludge during the coldseason, remove buildup of snow and iceso it does not promote corrosion. At theend of the cold season, thoroughly flushaway all collected dirt from the chassis

If signs of delamination of the frame railare apparent, complete the followingsteps:

1 Clean chassis with high pressurewater spray. Use mild detergent ifavailable; remove loose dirt andgrease.

2 Continue high pressure wash toaffected delamination areas of paintfrom the frame rails. Apply highpressure spray until paint holds onframe substrates.

NOTEAfter completing these steps, to avoidfurther delamination, have the framerailserviced as soon as possible.

Stainless SteelStainless steel will rust if exposed to saltfor too long. Wash frequently, especiallyduring the cold season, to remove salt-

laden snow and ice. If rust appears,wash the surface and use a rubbingcompound to remove the rust. Apply acoat of wax as a finish (do not wax partsthat get hot, such as exhaust pipes,etc.).

NOTENever use steel wool to clean stainlesssteel. Pieces of the steel wool break offand can create rust stains on the surface.

ChromeChrome surfaces will rust if they are notcleaned and protected. This is especiallyimportant during the cold season whenroads are salted or in coastal areaswhere the salt level in the air is high.Clean chrome surfaces with clean water.If the surface has heavy dirt or tar spots,use a tar remover. To remove rust spots,use a non-abrasive chrome cleaner andapply a coat of wax as a finish (do notwax parts that get hot, such as exhaustpipes, etc.).

NOTENever use steel wool to clean chrome.Pieces of the steel wool break off and cancreate rust stains on the surface.
