2011-2013 UD Trucks Owners Manual
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to provide you with important operation, maintenance and safety information relating to your UD Trucks vehicle. We urge you and others operating the vehicle to carefully read this manual and follow the recommendations for operation, maintenance, and safety. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in serious injury or death to those riding in this vehicle or bystanders.
This manual should be considered a permanent part of the vehicle and must be kept with the vehicle at all times. This Owner’s Manual should accompany the vehicle when sold to provide future owners and operators with important operation, safety and maintenance information. The characteristics and functions of this vehicle make its driving and handling different from that of a car. Before operating your vehicle, familiarize yourself and others operating the vehicle with these differences. The Warranty and Service Booklet provided with each vehicle contains important information about warranty and service matters. Keep it with your vehicle at all times and present it to your authorized UD Trucks dealer or other service facility when service is required.
When service or other assistance is required, consult your UD Trucks dealer. If you have a problem that has not been handled to your satisfaction, contact UD Trucks North America, Inc., 7900 National Service Road Greensboro, NC 27409.

UNIT IDENTIFICATION
The locations of the stamped chassis serial number, engine serial number, and each assembly and serial number of transmission, differential carrier, front axle and rear axle are shown below:
Chassis serial number location
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Simplified Final-stage Vehicle Certification Label that can be found on the inside of the driver’s door or the door frame. The total load on each axle must never exceed its GAWR.
GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) - is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer - including all cargo and passengers - that the vehicle can handle without risking damage (Important: The towing vehicle's braking system is rated for operation at GVWR, not at GCWR). Separate functional brakes should be used for safe control of towed vehicles and for trailers where the GCW (Gross Combined Weight) of the towing vehicle plus the trailer exceed the GVWR of the towing vehicle. The GCW must never exceed the GCWR. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) - is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all options, equipment, passengers, and cargo).
Allison automatic transmission fluid recommendations
Hydraulic fluids used in the transmission are important influences on transmission reliability and durability. Allison TranSynd fluids or TES-295 approved fluids are recommended. This vehicle is factory filled with TranSynd fluid.
Synthetic Lubrication
Synthetic oils are offered by some oil suppliers as an alternative to the traditional, petroleum based oils for engines. These oils may be used in UD TRUCKS engines, provided UDXtra and VDS-4 they meet the quality levels specified in “Oil Quality”. The use of synthetic oils does not permit the extension of the recommended oil change intervals. It is the contamination rate, i.e., soot, and the depletion of additives, rather than base oil quality that determines the useful engine oil life and therefore the oil change intervals.
The following chart indicates the allowable GCWR for your UD Trucks vehicle based on the specific transmission model and specific rear axle ratio:
Maximum GCWR - Ib. (kg.)
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Daily maintenance should be performed by the driver before or after the day’s operation in order to assure safe driving and prevent problems on the road. For complete details, refer to the “CHECK POINTS” (next page) and “VEHICLE SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE” section in this manual. If a problem with any part of the vehicle is noticed during daily inspection, it should be repaired immediately. Consult your authorized UD Trucks dealer or qualified service facility for repairs.
UD TRUCKS, US2010 EMISSIONS SOLUTION
The exhaust after treatment system virtually eliminates exhaust smoke. White exhaust vapor (water condensation) may be visible during a cold start. If black exhaust smoke visible during engine operation, this indicates a problem with the exhaust after treatment system. Take the vehicle to an authorized UD Trucks dealer immediately.
Vehicles equipped with a 2010 emission compliant engine have an exhaust aftertreatment system which includes an aftertreatment Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system and a Catalyzed after treatment Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The After treatment DPF takes the place of the standard muffler, and it reduces soot and particulate emissions into the atmosphere. Soot and other particulate matter are collected by a filter where it is eventually oxidized. Vehicles equipped with an after treatment DPF require the use of UDXtra (or VDS-4) specification high performance diesel engine oil and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel.
Precautions on handling the DPF
When a certain amount of soot that is included in the exhaust gas accumulates in the aftertreatment DPF, the DPF automatically burns (regenerates) the collected soot. This prevents the excessive accumulation of soot and keeps the cleaning function of the DPF in good condition.
