Maintenance Manual

Maintenance manuals contain routine maintenance procedures and intervals for vehicle components and systems. They have information such as lubrication procedures and tables, fluid replacement procedures, fluid capacities, specifications, and procedures for adjustments and for checking the tightness of fasteners. Maintenance manuals do not contain detailed repair or service information. Maintenance manuals should not be used for covering plant quality or quality assurance issues. The purpose of maintenance manuals is to increase the life of the component being maintained. These are recommendations, not requirements.
