Maintenance
Note: Opmum operaon of the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System is achieved aer a
nominal 50-mile break in period. The engagement and disengagement characteriscs
of the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System may exhibit slight roughness immediately aer
installaon. Normal use of the vehicle is recommended during the break in period, aer
which operaon of the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System will be even smoother and qui-
ete r.
Your Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System is engineered to provide you with trouble-free
operaon. Follow the lubricaon, service and inspecon procedures recommended by
your vehicle manufacturer. The Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System is designed to operate
with those lubricants recommended by the vehicle and/or axle manufacturer. No special
lubricant is needed. Use the gear lubricant specied, either synthec or non-synthec,
which is necessary for proper lubricaon of all other dierenal components. As a gen-
eral guideline, in warmer climates consider lubricaon weights raging from 85 to 140. In
colder climates, consider lubricaon weights ranging from 75 to 90. For very cold weather
applicaons, use the lightest oil the axle manufacturer will allow. Lower viscosies may
slightly increase the audibility of operaon. Very high viscosity lubricants or very cold
lubricants can cause the parts to move more slowly than normal and result in sluggish
engagement and disengagement. When the lubricant is very cold, we suggest that you
drive the vehicle slowly for a few miles to warm up the oil, especially before subjecng it
to dicult o-road maneuvers.
Should you suspect any diculty with the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System or other
driveline component, especially if any unusual noises or jerking moons begin to occur,
do not connue to operate the vehicle. Refer to this User Manual and review the Trouble-
shoong secon. It may be necessary to remove the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System
and inspect it for excessively worn, loose or broken components.
