Maintenance (connued)
Aer proper installaon, your Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System should not require any
special ongoing service, other than that which is normally performed on the dierenal
as recommended by the manufacturer. Use the recommended lubricant and replace it at
the proper intervals.
The following comment involves the whole power train and we oer it to help assure
excellent operaon of your vehicle equipped with the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System.
• Sustained driving substanally increases the temperature of the axle housing, trans-
mission, transfer case, and other driveline related components. If suddenly plunged
into cold water, like when crossing a stream, rapid cooling can produce a vacuum. If
the unit, such as the axle housing, remains submerged, water can be sucked in past
the oil seals, and into the gear oil. To prevent rust and corrosion, it is important to
drain the unit and remove the water as soon as possible. The water may separate
from the oil and sele on the boom. If the oil and water have emulsied (mixed on
a microscopic level), high temperatures may not drive the water out as readily as
before mixing. Also, the oil-and-water mixture will not lubricate well, causing corro-
sion and accelerang wear. Replace with fresh lubricant as soon as possible. A similar
high-temperature-then-vacuum situaon can occur with U-Joints. Aer submersion,
purge out any water as soon as possible and re-grease.
Adjustment or alteraons are not needed and should not be made to the Powertrax No-
Slip Tracon System. Refer to the vehicle and/or axle manufacturer’s instrucons to make
adjustments to other components. If making brake adjustments, both wheels connected
to the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System will need to be free to rotate.
