REAR SPRING LUBRICATION
(Passenger Cars)
The rear springs are enclosed in metal covers. The spring leaves are coated and the covers are filled with a special graphite grease at the time the springs are assembled.
Should it become necessary to lubricate the spring leaves, or refill the spring covers, a soft, smooth, cup grease or chassis lubricant, to which 8% to 10% graphite has been added, should be used.
The term "chassis lubricant" as used in this manual, describes a semi-fluid lubricant designed for application by commercial pressure gun equip­ment. It is composed of mineral oil (300 to 500 seconds Sayboldt Universal viscosity at 100° F.) combined with approximately 8% soap, or soaps, which are insoluble in water.
CAB-OVER-ENGINE MODELS
Cab-Over-Engine trucks are provided with a removable hand hole cover in the right floor pan of the cab for easy access to the engine compart­ment for lubrication.
Standpipes are provided for lubricating the generator front and rear bearings which are access­ible after raising the hood. Provision for steering gear lubrication is made by a standpipe at the steering gear housing also reached by raising the hood.
CHASSIS LUBRICATION
For chassis lubrication, consult the lubrication charts. Figures 4, 5 and 6 show the points to be lubricated and how often the lubricant should be applied.
