11 Steering box
The oil level in the steering box should be checked after every 10 000 km
(6 000 miles). The oil should be at the level of the filler plug. It necessary, top
up with the recommended oil. The oil in the steering box generally does not
need to be changed except when reconditioning takes place. If the oil is to be
changed, the old oil can be sucked up by means of an oil syringe or similar,
which is inserted down through the filler hole.

12 Brake fluid
The brake fluid level in the brake hydraulic
system should be checked after every 5 000
km (3 000 miles). The brake system is pro-
vided with twin brake fluid containers, one
for each system. Both containers have a
common filler cap. The level of the brake
fluid should be between the "Max" and
"Min" marks.
Only brake fluids which meet the requirements
according to the specifications under .SAE 70 R 3
may be used for the hydraulic brake system.
Engine
13 Crankcase ventilation
The engine is provided with positive crank-
case ventilation which prevents the gases in
the crankcase from being released into the
atmosphere. Instead, they arc sucked into
the intake manifold and take part in the com-
bustion process whereupon they are blown
out through the exhaust pipe together with
the other combustion gases. Every 40 000
km (25 000 miles) remove and clean the
nozzle (1), the hoses (2 and 4) and the flame
protector (3). Rubber hoses should also be
replaced if they are in a poor condition.

14 Oil filter
The oil filter traps any impurities in the oil
so that it becomes blocked after a time.
For this reason, it must be replaced for
example after every 10 000 km (6 000 miles)
and preferably by a Volvo workshop.
If the filter is replaced without the oil being
changed, 0.5 litre (approx. 1 pint) of oil
should be added.
15 Fuel filter
The fuel filter should be cleaned after every
10 000 km (6 000 miles). Loosen the screw
and remove the cover and strainer and clean
these. When refitting the cover make sure
that the gasket seals properly.
16 Air cleaner (B 20 A)
The air cleaner should be replaced with a
new one after 40 000 km (25000 miles).
Replacement should be more frequent if the
driving conditions are dusty.
NOTE. On no account must the element be
moistened or oiled.
