Daimler Trucks North America LLC distributes the following major service publications in paper and electronic (via ServicePro ® ) formats. Workshop/Service Manual Workshop/service manuals contain service and repair information for all vehicle systems and components, except for major components such as engines, trans- missions, and rear axles. Each workshop/service manual section is divided into subjects that can include general information, principles of operation, removal, disassembly, assembly, installation, specifications, and troubleshooting. 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. Driver’s/Operator’s Manual Driver’s/operator’s manuals contain information needed to enhance the driver’s understanding of how to operate and care for the vehicle and its components. Each manual contains a chapter that covers pretrip and post-trip inspections, and daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance of vehicle components. Driver’s/ operator’s manuals do not contain detailed repair or service information. Service Bulletins Service bulletins provide the latest service tips, field repairs, product improve- ments, and related information. Some service bulletins are updates to information in the workshop/service manual. These bulletins take precedence over workshop/service manual information, until the latter is updated; at that time, the bulletin is usually canceled. The service bulletins manual is available only to dealers. When doing service work on a vehicle system or part, check for a valid service bulletin for the latest information on the subject. IMPORTANT: Before using a particular service bulletin, check the current service bulletin validity list to be sure the bulletin is valid. Parts Technical Bulletins Parts technical bulletins provide information on parts. These bulletins contain lists of parts and BOMs needed to do replacement and upgrade procedures. Web-based repair, service, and parts documentation can be accessed using the following applications on the AccessFreightliner.com website. ServicePro ServicePro ® provides Web-based access to the most up-to-date versions of the publications listed above. In addition, the Service Solutions feature provides diagnostic assistance with Symptoms Search, by connecting to a large knowledge base gathered from technicians and service personnel. Search results for both documents and service solutions can be narrowed by initially entering vehicle identification data. PartsPro PartsPro ® is an electronic parts catalog system, showing the specified vehicle’s build record. EZWiring EZWiring ™ makes Freightliner, Sterling, Western Star, Thomas Built Buses, and Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation products’ wiring drawings and floating pin lists available online for viewing and printing. EZWiring can also be accessed from within PartsPro. Introduction Descriptions of Service Publications Recreational Vehicle Chassis Workshop Manual, Supplement 21, October 2010 I–1

Warranty-related service information available on the AccessFreightliner.com website includes the following documentation. Recall Campaigns Recall campaigns cover situations that involve service work or replacement of parts in connection with a recall notice. These campaigns pertain to matters of vehicle safety. All recall campaigns are distributed to dealers; customers receive notices that apply to their vehicles. Field Service Campaigns Field service campaigns are concerned with non-safety-related service work or replacement of parts. All field service campaigns are distributed to dealers; customers receive notices that apply to their vehicles.
