Group 177 Design and Function T-Ride Equalizer Beam Note: For further information concerning component specifications see service information in Group 1, “Oil and Filter Change Intervals for Volvo Components, All Models”, Publication Number 175-001, and any appropri- ate vendor literature. In regular over-the-road operations the T-Ride should follow the normal lubrication schedule. It is extremely important that the equalizer beam is well lubricated in any off-road or on/off-road operation. If there are other severe duty constraints, for example driv- ing in water, lubricate more frequently, up to once per day, if necessary. Note:
