Foreword
Scheduled maintenance provides a key element for the safe operation of your vehicle. A proper maintenance
program also helps to minimize downtime and to safeguard warranties. This maintenance manual provides
information necessary for years of safe, reliable, and cost-efficient vehicle operation.
IMPORTANT: The maintenance operations in this manual are not all-inclusive. Also refer to other
component and body manufacturers’ instructions for specific inspection and maintenance instruc-
tions.
Perform the operations in this maintenance manual at scheduled intervals. Perform the pretrip and post-trip
inspections, and daily/weekly/monthly maintenance, as outlined in the vehicle driver’s manual. Major
components, such as engines, transmissions, and rear axles, are covered in their own maintenance and
operation manuals, that are provided with the vehicle. Perform any maintenance operations listed at the
intervals scheduled in those manuals. Your Freightliner Dealership has the qualified technicians and
equipment to perform this maintenance for you. They can also set up a scheduled maintenance program
tailored specifically to your needs. Optionally, they can assist you in learning how to perform these
maintenance procedures.

missions, and rear axles. Each workshop/service manual section is divided into
subjects that can include general information, principles of operation, removal,
disassembly, assembly, installation, and specifications.
Maintenance Manual Maintenance manuals contain routine maintenance procedures and intervals for
vehicle components and systems. They have information such as lubrication
procedures and tables, fluid replacement procedures, fluid capacities, specifica-
tions, and procedures for adjustments and for checking the tightness of fasten-
ers. Maintenance manuals do not contain detailed repair or service information.
Driver’s/Operator’s
Manual
Driver’s/operator’s manuals contain information needed to enhance the driver’s

Each manual contains a chapter that covers pretrip and post-trip inspections,
and daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance of vehicle components.
Driver’s/operator’s manuals do not contain detailed repair or service information.
Service Bulletins Service bulletins provide the latest service tips, field repairs, product improve-
ments, and related information. Some service bulletins are updates to informa-
tion in the workshop/service manual. These bulletins take precedence over
workshop/service manual information, until the latter is updated; at that time, the
bulletin is usually canceled. The service bulletins manual is available only to
dealers. When doing service work on a vehicle system or part, check for a valid
service bulletin for the latest information on the subject.
IMPORTANT: Before using a particular service bulletin, check the current
service bulletin validity list to be sure the bulletin is valid.
Parts Technical Bulletins Parts technical bulletins provide information on parts. These bulletins contain
lists of parts and BOMs needed to do replacement and upgrade procedures.
Web-based repair, service, and parts documentation can be accessed using the following applications on the
AccessFreightliner.com website.
ServicePro ServicePro® provides Web-based access to the most up-to-date versions of the
publications listed above. In addition, the Service Solutions feature provides di-
agnostic assistance with Symptoms Search, by connecting to a large knowledge
base gathered from technicians and service personnel. Search results for both
documents and service solutions can be narrowed by initially entering vehicle
identification data.
PartsPro PartsPro® is an electronic parts catalog system, showing the specified vehicle’s
build record.

Determining Scheduled
Maintenance Intervals
Performing regular maintenance on your Freightliner
will help ensure that your Freightliner delivers safe
reliable service and optimum performance for years
to come. Failure to follow a regular maintenance pro-
gram can result in inefficient operation and unsched-
uled down time.
To determine the correct maintenance intervals for
your vehicle you must first determine the type of ser-
vice or conditions the vehicle will be operating in.
Generally, most vehicles operate under conditions
that fall within one of the four types of service de-
scribed. Before placing your new vehicle in service,
determine the type of service (Service Schedule I, II,
III, or IV) that applies to the intended use of the ve-
hicle. After determining the vehicle’s type of service,
refer to the service schedule table or the vehicle
maintenance schedule table, to determine how often
maintenance should be performed.
When the vehicle reaches the distance given for a
maintenance interval, see the Maintenance Interval
Operation Table for a list of the maintenance opera-
tions to be performed at that maintenance interval.
Use the maintenance operation reference numbers to
find detailed instructions in the manual on each op-
eration.
Types of Service
Service Schedule I (severe service) applies to ve-
hicles that annually travel less than 6000 miles (10
000 kilometers) or that operate under severe condi-
tions. Examples of severe service, Schedule I usage
include: operation on extremely poor roads or where
there is heavy dust accumulation; constant exposure
to extreme hot, cold, salt-air, or other extreme cli-
mates; frequent short-distance travel; construction-
site operation; city operation (fire truck); or farm
operation.
Service Schedule II (short-haul transport) applies to
vehicles that annually travel less than 60,000 miles
(100 000 kilometers) and operate under normal con-
ditions. Examples of Schedule II usage are: opera-
tion primarily in cities and densely populated areas;
local transport with infrequent freeway travel; or high
percentage of stop-and-go travel.
Service Schedule III (long-haul transport) is for ve-
hicles that annually travel more than 60,000 miles
(100 000 kilometers) with minimal city or stop-and-go
operation. Examples of Schedule III usage are: re-
gional delivery that is mostly freeway miles; interstate
transport; or any road operation with high annual
mileage.
Service Schedule IV (long haul transport for Opti-
mized Vehicle Configuration) is for vehicles that an-
nually travel over 60,000 miles (100 000 km) and
meet the following qualifications:
•Meritor 15-1/2 inch dampened/ceramic Lite
Pedal LTD clutch with sealed release bearing.
•Synthetic transmission fluid used in transmis-
sion.
•Meritor FF–961 or FF–981 front axle (12,000 lb.
capacity) with synthetic lubricant.
•Front suspension with maintenance-free rubber
bushings for 12,000 lb. capacity suspension.
•Meritor RPL series, or Dana Spicer SPL series
driveline U-joints.
•Synthetic lubricant used in rear axle.
•Equipped with any Freightliner AirLiner suspen-
sion.
•Equipped with Meritor Q-Plus extended-lube
cam brakes and automatic slack adjusters, front
and rear.
•Standard brake system package including Ben-
dix AD-9 air dryer—mounted on the right-hand
frame rail, located directly behind the front
bumper—with heater, and a Bendix air com-
pressor.
•TRW TAS65 power steering.
NOTE: Maintenance instructions in this manual
are based on average vehicle use and normal
operating conditions. Unusual vehicle operating
conditions may require service at more frequent
intervals.

*For Schedule I (severe service) vehicles equipped with an hourmeter, use maintenance intervals based on hours of operation rather than distance traveled.
†Use Schedule I (severe service) maintenance intervals for vehicles that operate under severe conditions, such as extremely poor roads, heavy dust accumu-
lation, extreme climate, frequent short distance travel, construction-site operation, city operation (garbage truck), or farm operation.
