Operator's Station WINDSHIELD WIPERS Both windshield wipers can be operated individually by means of two-speed switches. FAN AND AIR LOUVERS Fan speed is controlled by a three-speed switch (A). Desired direction of air flow is obtained by the adjustable air louvers (8). 105124-2350ALE-301183 HEATER Heating is adjustable by means of the temperature control switch. To increase heating, turn switch farther to the right. AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (Special Equipment) The blower switch must be turned on before switching on the air conditioning system. To increase cooling, turn switch to the right. NOTE: Turning the heater on for a short period will help to control humidity, however under normal conditions the heater switch should be in "OFF" position when the air conditioning system is switched on.

Service - Axle and Wheels LUBRICATING DRIVE HOUSINGS AND DRIVE SHAFTS (FWD every 50 Hours) Lubricate fittings shown every 50 hours. Use specified grease. See section "Fuel, Lubricants and Coolant". Do NOT use Arctic Grease with specification requirements per MIL-G-10924C. When front wheel drive is equipped with anti-wrap guards (A). remove wing nuts (B) and lift off guard. The rear universal joint grease fitting can now be lubricated. l 105145,L 102737,L 102738,l 102739-2950ALE-020884 LUBRICATE REAR AXLE BEARINGS (Every 10 or 600 Hours) Lubricate both bearings with 6 to 8 strokes of grease.
