Peterbilt Car 365

CAUTION: Failure to replace air filter at proper intervals may result in passage of dirt/debris into the engine or the “dusting” of an engine resulting in significant engine damage.

Service the air cleaner filter elements as specified in the Preventive Maintenance Schedule on page 5-12.

This vehicle is equipped with an air inlet restriction indicator. Service the filter elements when the air inlet restriction indicator locks in the extreme Up position.

Paper elements require care and proper handling because they are critical to engine service life.

If your vehicle has an external air cleaner and cab-mounted mirrors, the mirror must be pivoted to provide access for servicing the filter element.

Loosen (do not remove) upper 5/16 in. mounting hardware.

Remove acorn nut and flat washer, then pivot upper stabilizer rod away from cab.

Loosen the two rearmost M6 hex socket head screws on the lower clamp.

Rotate the main support tube rearward to provide clearance to remove and replace the air cleaner filter element.

WARNING!: Do not work on the brake system without the parking brake set and wheels chocked securely. If the vehicle is not secured to prevent uncontrolled vehicle movement, it could roll and cause death, serious personal injury or damage to the vehicle.

To operate your vehicle safely and profitably, you need some understanding of its brake systems.

Brake adjustment and brake balance must be set carefully to (1) make the most efficient use of the forces available for braking and (2) allow equal stopping forces at all wheels.

CAUTION: The air brake system of this vehicle was configured for ONE of the following operations: tractor or truck, and complies with the respective portions of FMVSS 121. A tractor shall not be operated or configured as a truck, nor shall a truck be operated or configured as a tractor, without significant modifications to the air brake system in order to retain compliance with FMVSS 121. Contact your dealer for instructions.

Once a brake system is set to specifications, changing any one of its components or any combination of components may cause the system to not work as well. All parts have to work together to perform as they should. Any replacement components in your brake system should be exactly equal to the original components.

Any changes from the original specifications can affect the whole system. All of the following areas are interrelated and must conform to original specifications:

WARNING!: Do not use any replacement part in the brake system unless it conforms exactly to original specifications. A nonconforming part in your vehicle's brake system could cause a malfunction resulting in an accident causing death or personal injury.

Sizes and types are so related to one another that a seemingly unimportant change in one may result in a change in how well the brakes work for you on the road. If parts do not work together properly, you could lose control of your vehicle, which could cause a serious accident.

Warning: Use the proper lubricants and maintain the correct oil levels in Spicer units.
