(16) = Check spring-to-axle U-bolts and shackle bolts
for proper torque. See the service manual for torque
sequence and specifications. When parts are replaced,
the torque must be checked and adjusted more often
during the first 6,000 miles (10 000 km). Check torque
at 500 miles (800 km) and 2,000 miles (3 000 km) after
first use of parts.
(17) = Check complete exhaust system and cab areas
near the exhaust system for broken, damaged, missing or
out
-of-position parts. Also inspect for open seams,
holes, loose connections or other conditions which could
let exhaust fumes seep into the driver compartment.
Needed repairs should be made at once. To help
maintain system integrity, replace exhaust pipes
whenever a new muffler is put on.
(18) = Check all engine drive belts for cracks, fraying,
wear and proper tension. Adjust or replace as needed.
(19) = Check throttle linkage for damaged or missing
parts (including throttle return springs), interference or
binding. Fix any problems at once. Do not lubricate
accelerator and cruise control cables.
(20) = With the engine off and below normal operating
temperature, check to see that the thermostatically
controlled engine cooling fan can be rotated by hand on
viscous
-operated drives. Replace as needed.(21) = Check shields and underhood insulation for
damage or looseness. Adjust or replace as needed.
(22) = Lubricate caliper housing, caliper support spring
and caliper support key.
(23) = Wheel bearing service:

Grease type
-- Clean, inspect and lubricate with the
proper wheel bearing grease at designated intervals
or when hubs are removed. See ªRecommended
Fluids and Lubricantsº in the Index.

Oil
-filled type -- Some wheel bearings are lubricated
by rear axle lubricant. When you have oil
-filled
hubs, use lubricant identical to that used in your rear
axle. Lubricant change intervals are the same for
front and rear axles. However, you must maintain oil
level at the OIL LEVEL mark between change
intervals. See ªRecommended Fluids and
Lubricantsº in the Index.
(24) = Check the air intake system installation to see
that gaskets are seated properly and all hose
connections, fasteners and other components are tight.
For gasoline engines, also check to be sure the air
cleaner housing is properly seated, that the cover fits
tightly and that the wing nut is tight. Tighten
connections and fasteners or replace parts as required.

Test air lines for leaks; tighten as needed. Replace
compressor filter.

Inspect air parking brake chamber for leaks and
damage. Inspect lines and hoses for leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Also check all attachments for
tightness, wear or damage. Note: The spring brake
section of the rear brake diaphragms are
non
-serviceable.

Replace the air compressor filter element, mounted
on the air compressor. For remote air compressor
intake service, refer to air cleaner filter replacement.
(40) = Clean and lubricate air brake automatic slack
adjuster. Check pushrod travel and auto adjustment
operation. Have serviced if needed.
(41) = Air brake chamber service: Check operation,
mounting, clamps and air lines and check for leaks.
(42) = Trailer brake hand control valve service: Check
operation; lubricate cam and follower.
(44) = Air brake service: Remove, disassemble, clean
and inspect the safety valve, standard brake chamber,
quick release valve, quick release/double check valve
combination, parking brake control valve, double check
valve, pressure protection valve and alcohol injector. Remove, disassemble and clean the application valve;
replace parts showing wear. Remove, disassemble, clean
and inspect the spring brake control valve; replace
rubber parts.
(45) = For Stud Piloted Wheels Only: Tighten the wheel
stud nuts to the specified torque values at 100 miles
(160 km), 500 miles (800 km) and 1,000 miles
(1 600 km) and then every 1,000 miles (1 600 km)
thereafter. See ªTightening the Wheel Nutsº in
the Index.
(46) = For Hub Piloted Wheels Only: Tighten the wheel
stud nuts to the specified torque values at 1,000 miles
(1 600 km). Thereafter, tighten them 1,000 miles
(1 600 km) after each time the wheel is removed. See
ªTightening the Wheel Nutsº in the Index.
(47) = Short Trip/City Maintenance Schedule. See
ªMaintenance Schedule Definitionº in the introduction
pages at the beginning of this section.
(48) = Long Trip/Highway Maintenance Schedule. See
ªMaintenance Schedule Definitionº in the introduction
