Foreword
D
The descriptions and service procedures contained in this manual are based on designs
and methods studies carried out up to October 2005.
The products are under continuous development. Vehicles and components produced
after the above date may therefore have different specifications and repair methods.
When this is judged to have a significant bearing on this manual, supplementary service
bulletins will be issued to cover the changes.
Service procedures which do not include an operation number in the title are for general
information and no reference is made to V.S.T.
The following levels of observations, cautions and warnings are used in this Service
Documentation:
Note: Indicates a procedure, practice, or condition that must be followed in order to have
the vehicle or component function in the manner intended.
Caution: Indicates an unsafe practice where damage to the product could occur.
Warning: Indicates an unsafe practice where personal injury or severe damage to the
product could occur.
Danger: Indicates an unsafe practice where serious personal injury or death could occur.

binder.
To be carried out at every engine oil and filter change or every 6 months, whichever occurs first.
To be carried out at least once per year.
Stand-alone section of the basic and annual service that consists of simple checks that the
owner can carry out by, but that can be ordered in conjunction with the basic and annual service.
Additional Are best carried out in conjunction with the basic and annual service. The procedures are
procedures contained in the Service Manual “Additional measures” Group 17.
Lubrication service Lubrication service as per the lubrication diagram for each vehicle, group 175, is carried out in
conjunction with basic and annual service, and also when intermediate lubrication is necessary.
There are record sheets for the basic and annual services as well as the option.
Note: For the lubrication intervals for chassis and cab, and change intervals for oil, filters
and fluids, refer to Service Information Group 175 “Lubrication service and oil changes”.
Because operational conditions can vary depending on how the vehicle is used, it is
important that the service workshop, together with the customer, adapt the service
requirements to suit the vehicle.
Vehicles that are driven on wet road surfaces with road salt and sand, and vehicles that
are washed using a high-pressure washer, require more lubrication service.
The illustrations in this service information illustrate components on one variant of the
vehicle. Unfortunately not all components can be shown.
WARNING
Chock a wheel so that the vehicle cannot roll
during the servicing.

Regarding chassis lubrication and oil changes see service protocol
Basic service including lubrication, oil and filter change in engine, oil
and fluid level checks
When changing oil it is essential that as much oil as
possible is drained off and changed in the component.
For this reason, remember that oil changes are best done
after driving, i.e. when the oil is warm and fluid.
WARNING
Hot oil can cause burns. Use protective gloves.
1 Chassis lubrication
1
• Lubricate in accordance with each vehicle’s
lubrication schedule. See Service Information,
Group 175.
1 Grease nipple positions are shown on the
lubrication chart. Make sure that each lubrication
point is properly lubricated. Lubricate until new
grease forces its way out and is visible. If no
grease forces its way out there is something
wrong and action must be taken immediately.

Lubricate in accordance with each vehicle’s lubrication
schedule. See Service Information, Group 175.
CAUTION
Hot oil can cause burns. Take care to avoid spilling oil
when topping up. Oil spilt on the engine can affect
cooling performance.
• Clean the sealing surface (2) for the oil filter seal
and the surrounding surfaces on the filter bracket
thoroughly.
• If the oil filter bracket has a protective lip (1) for the oil
filters, clean the inside of this lip carefully.
• Hand tighten the oil filter until the rubber seal makes
contact with the mating surfaces.
• Fit the drain plugs with new gaskets and fill with
fresh oil Use the side filler pipe on the engine when
T1007781 filling with oil.

Note: Under no circumstances must the level go
below the lower marking. Neither should the level be
above the upper marking on the dipstick.
• Check that the oil level lies within the top half of the
section of the dipstick between max. and min.
• Switch off the engine and check the oil level after a few
minutes. Top up as necessary.
• Remove the level/filler plug and check that the oil level
reaches up to the edge of the filler hole.
