1994 CHEVROLET ASTRO PASSENGER wheel

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 13. TIRE AND WHEEL ROTATION AND INSPECTION - For
proper wear and maximum tire life, rotate tires at the first
6,000 miles
(10
000 kilometers) for Schedule I or 7,500 miles (12 500 kilometers)
for Schedule I1 and
then every 15,000 miles (25 000 kilometers)
thereafter. Follow the instructions and patterns shown in Sectio\
n
6.
Check tires for uneven wear or damage. If irregular or premature wear
is apparent, check wheel alignment. Also, check for damaged wheels.
See “Tires” in the Index for more information.
14.
DRIVE AXLE SERVICE - Check readfront axle fluid level and add
as needed. Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Locking Differential - Drain fluid at first oil change and refill.
Check fluid level and add as needed at subsequent oil changes. In
dusty areas or trailer towing applications, drain fluid at every
15,000 miles (24 135 kilometers) and refill.?
Standard Differential - Check fluid level and add as needed at
every oil change. In dusty areas or trailer towing applications\
,
drain fluid every
15,000 miles (24 135 kilometers) and refill.?
15. BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION - When the engine oil is changed,
inspect the lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Check the parking brake adjustment, and the fluid\
level in the master cylinder. A low fluid level can indicate
worn disc brake pads
which may need to be serviced.?
When the wheels are removed for rotation, inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wh\
eel
cylinders, parking brake, etc. at the same time.
Inspect brakes more often if driving habits or conditions resul\
t in
frequent braking.
-f A fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected a\
nd
repaired at once.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be perfo\
rmed at
least twice a year (for instance, each spring and fall). You should let your
GM dealer’s service department or other qualified service center do these
jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are completed at once.
Steering and Suspension Inspection? - Inspect front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of wear or
lack of lubrication. Inspect power steering lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Lubricate the steering linkage.
Accelerator Control System - Lubricate all pivot points with engine oil,
except the
TBI throttle shaft. Do not lubricate the cam pulley. Remove all
external deposits from pulley.
Do not oil any accelerator or cruise control
cables. Replace any cables that have high effort or excessive \
wear.
Exhaust System Inspection - Inspect the complete system. Inspect the
body near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged, missing or
out-of-position parts, as well as open seams, holes, loose conn\
ections or
other conditions which could cause a heat buildup
in the floor pan or could
let exhaust fumes seep into the passenger compartments. See “\
Engine
Exhaust”
in the Index.
Drive Axle Service - Check readfront axle fluid level and add as needed.
Check constant velocity joints and axle seals for leaking.
Transfer Case (all-wheel drive) Inspection? - Every 12 months or at oil
change intervals, check front axle and transfer case and add l\
ubricant when
necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point (except
L Van) and all exposed
control linkage. Check vent hose at transfer case for kinks and proper
installation.
-F A fluid loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them inspected a\
nd
repaired
at once.
