Volvo Truck D7 D12 Engine Cab Maintenance

by Dave Jack Auto Car Repair Knowledge
This instruction show you guide on how to perform D7/D12 engine cab maintenance for Volvo truck.
Doors
The door lock mechanism should be greased annually using white grease. Lubricate the door lock cylinder with liquid graphite annually, or more often in climates with a lot of snow and salt on the roads.
Coat the door stop arm with white grease annually.
On wet and salted roads, roadspray can enter the door lock key cylinder. Lubricate the cylinder with liquid graphite annually or more often if necessary.
The door hinge pins are treated at manufacturing and then sealed. No lubrication is
necessary.
To keep the door rubber moldings and seals around the windows in good working order and to prevent them from freezing shut during the cold season, occasionally spray on a silicone compound.

Hood
The hood latch mechanism should be greased with white grease yearly. If the mechanism is hard to work or binds, the latch should be cleaned before greasing

Rustprotection
The rustprotection applied when the cab was produced is adequate for normal use
and service. If an extension of the cab rustprotection is desired or if the vehicle is used in a severe application, it is recommended that cavity wax is re-applied every 3rd year.

Cab Air Filter
Air going into the cab passes a filter located on the right, front side of the cab.
Remove the filter and clean with an air gun (no more than 20 psi pressure) after 40,000 miles (64,000 km), (in dusty conditions as often as every 10,000 miles [16,000 km]).
Make sure the air stream is directed from the inside out.
The filter should not be cleaned and reused more than once. Replace with a new filter after maximum 70,000 miles (110,000 km),or earlier if driving in dusty conditions. A clogged filter decreases the efficiency of the air conditioning system.
