Maintenance in Special and
Exceptional Operating
Conditions
When the vehicle is operated under
exceptional conditions, it is important to
consult your local dealer as it may be
necessary to change the service inter-
vals to suit the operating conditions.
The service intervals can be adapted,
as necessary, in consultation with the
local dealer to suit the appropriate
operating conditions.
First Service
The first service inspection should be
carried out at 7500 miles (12,000 km)
and no later than twelve weeks after the
vehicle delivery date, whichever comes
first.
Cab Maintenance
In order to maintain the quality of the
surface and paint finish during vehicle
operation, regular maintenance must
be carried out on the exposed areas of
the cab.
To prevent the formation of rust in box-
section areas and other hollow areas,
the cab is double galvanized and waxed
during production.
Preventive Maintenance
