Determining Scheduled Maintenance Intervals: 00-01
Performing regular maintenance on your Freightliner vehicle will help ensure that your vehicle delivers safe reliable service and optimum performance for years to come. Failure to follow a regular maintenance program can result in inefficient operation and unscheduled down time.
Determine the correct maintenance intervals and operations for your vehicle as follows.
-
Using Table., determine the type of service or conditions the vehicle will be operating in. Generally, most vehicles operate under conditions that fall within one of the four types of service listed.
-
Using Table., determine how often maintenance should be performed, based on the vehicle's service schedule.
-
When the vehicle reaches the distance (or hours of operation) given for a maintenance interval, as shown in the appropriate table in , see the appropriate Maintenance Interval Operation Table (listed below) for a list of the maintenance operations to be performed.
Initial Maintenance (IM) Operations: 00-03
M1 Maintenance Interval Operations: 00-04
M2 Maintenance Interval Operations: 00-05
M3 Maintenance Interval Operations: 00-06
Use the maintenance operation reference numbers in the Maintenance Interval Operation Tables to find detailed instructions in the manual on each operation.
Note: Maintenance instructions in this manual are based on average vehicle use and normal operating conditions. Unusual vehicle operating conditions may require service at more frequent intervals.

Vehicles that annually travel more than 60,000 miles (100 000 kilometers) with minimal city or stop-and-go operation. Examples of Schedule III usage are:
|
|
Schedule IV† (Long-Haul Transport for Optimized Vehicle Configuration) |
Vehicles that annually travel over 60,000 miles (100 000 km) and meet the following qualifications:
|
- For Schedule I (severe service) vehicles equipped with an hourmeter, use maintenance intervals based on hours of operation rather than distance traveled.
- Use Schedule I (severe service) maintenance intervals for vehicles that operate under severe conditions, such as extremely poor roads, heavy dust accumulation, extreme climate, frequent short distance travel, construction-site operation, city operation (garbage truck), or farm operation.
