Owner`s manual

NOTE: If itis necessary tocheck the transmissionbelow

the operating temperature, the fluid level should be

between the two “COLD” (lower) holes on the dipstick

with the fluid at approximately 70°F (21°C) (room tem-

perature). If the fluid level is correctly established at

room temperature, it should be between the “HOT”

(upper) reference holes when the transmission reaches

180°F (82°C). Remember it is best to check the level at the

normal operating temperature.

CAUTION!

Be aware that if the fluid temperature is below 50°F

(10°C) it may not register on the dipstick. Do not add

fluid until the temperature is elevated enough to

produce an accurate reading.

7. Check for leaks. Release parking brake.

To prevent dirt and water from entering the transmission

after checking or replenishing fluid, make certain that the

dipstick cap is properly reseated. It is normal for the

dipstick cap to spring back slightly from its fully seated

position, as long as its seal remains engaged in the

dipstick tube.

Fluid Level Check – Chassis Cab Only

Check the fluid level while the transmission is at normal

operating temperature. This occurs after at least 15 miles

(25 km) of driving. At normal operating temperature, the

fluid cannot be held comfortably between the fingertips.

To properly check the transmission fluid, the following

procedure must be used.

1. The vehicle must be on level ground.
