Service
The computerized information system moni-
tors all fluid levels, minimizing daily and
weekly service times.
Time to next service and the status of vital
vehicle systems is shown to the operator on
a display in the instrument panel.
Service accessibility: Fold-down front grill
with access ladder to remote filter bank,
located in front of engine. Large, 90° open-
ing hood for total engine access.
Remote drain hoses and swing-out radiator
for easy cleaning.

Diagonal lines represent total resistance (grade % ± rolling resistance %). Charts based on 0% rolling resistance, standard tires and gearing, unless otherwise stated.
A. Find the diagonal line with the appropriate total resistance on the right-hand edge of the chart.
B. Follow the diagonal line downward until it intersects the actual machine weight line, NMW or GMW.
C. Draw a new line horizontally to the left from the point of intersection until the new line intersects the rimpull or retardation curve.
