2.
Check the fluid level in the sight glass. When the
fluid level is at or above 3/4 of the sight glass,
then it is at or above the minimum fill level. See
.
3.
If the fluid level is low, check the transmission for
leaks, and correct as needed.
4.
If needed, add the recommended fluid, until it is
at or above 3/4 of the sight glass. See

3.
Remove the end cap, large O-ring, and filter ele-
ment from the filter housing. See
. Remove
the small O-ring from the end cap.
NOTE: Do not remove, disassemble, or adjust
the air regulator. If the air regulator is not keep-
ing air pressure between 58 and 63 psi (400
and 435 kPa), replace the air filter/regulator. It
cannot be repaired.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles when using compressed air
to clean parts, as permanent harm to eyes could
result from flying debris.
4.
Clean the filter element by dipping it in alcohol or
other cleaning solvent. Blow compressed air
through the element (inside to outside) to loosen
surface dirt and to dry the element. If it is not
damaged, the sintered metallic filter element will
last the life of the vehicle.
Wipe out the filter housing with a clean, dry, lint-
free rag. Clean and inspect the O-rings and end
cap. Replace any parts that are damaged.
5.
Install the large O-ring, then the filter element
(small end first) into the filter housing.
6.
Install the small O-ring in the end cap, then in-
stall the end cap and tighten it until firm.
CAUTION
A leaking air filter or air lines can cause slow or
hard shifting of the transmission, and eventual
transmission damage.
7.
Start the engine, and build pressure in the air
system. Check for air leaks at the filter housing
and air line connections; repair any leaks.

31–00 Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions in this section apply to all
procedures within this group.
DANGER
When working on the vehicle, shut down the en-
gine, set the parking brake, and chock the tires.
Before working under the vehicle, always place
jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the
vehicle can not drop. Failure to follow these steps
could result in serious personal injury or death.
31–01 Fifth Wheel Inspection
WARNING
All fifth wheel maintenance, adjustment, and re-
building must be done only by a qualified me-
chanic. Improper or incomplete procedures could
result in a possible disengagement of the trailer
from the tractor, which could result in personal
injury or property damage.
Parts are under spring compression. Wear safety
goggles while servicing the fifth wheel. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury, due to parts
ejecting with force.

4.
When the wheel is locked, the safety latch must
swing free and fall freely into position. See
.
5.
The lever bar and release handle must be in
proper alignment. See

properly operating lever bar and release handle.
Replace any bent or misaligned lever bar or re-
lease handle.
