Refuse - Additional Important Information

Important Notes

1.

The following optional components are approved by this Guideline. All options may not be available on every axle model.

a.

Driver-Controlled Differential Lock

b. Oil Pump

c. Low Maintenance Wheel Ends (

LMS

)

2.

The use of

NoSPIN

differentials in any drive axles will result in the exclusion of

axle shafts

from warranty consideration.

Certain other carrier components may also be excluded from warranty consideration if their failure is deemed to be the result

of NoSPIN use. Depending on axle loading, the NoSPIN can cause all torque to be directed to one axle shaft resulting in

overload and potential failure. “NoSPIN

®

” is a registered trademark of Tractech, Inc., a Division of Dana Corporation.

3.

For certain suspension models, Dana may require the use of an increased housing wall thickness. Refer to the Housing

Structural Rating Section of this Guideline or contact Dana CVP Application Engineering for specific requirements.

4.

Drive Axle application approval and allowable gross axle weight is based on the vehicle suspension selected. Dana CVP is

not responsible for the durability of any bracket attached to the axle housing(s) unless produced by Dana Holding

Corporation. In addition, Dana CVP is responsible for the integrity of the bracket attachment only if the bracket is installed

by Dana or if the bracket is installed by the vehicle manufacturer following detailed recommended procedures provided by

Dana through prior agreement.

5.

It is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer and/or the dealer to accurately convey all approved axle loading

information to the body builder if the chassis is sold as incomplete. It is also the responsibility of the final vehicle builder to

insure the assigned tagged values for

GAWR

and

GVW

/

GCW

do not exceed those limits approved by this vocational

Guideline. Dana is not responsible for non-compliance to this request.

6.

Although residential/refuse and commercial/industrial pickup vehicles may be equipped with

liftable tag

or

pusher axles

, the

nature of the loading cycle does not always allow for the

liftable axles

to be down and loaded. Because of this, Dana CVP

reviews and approves front axles and rear drives axles as if the liftable axles are raised and inoperable at all times.

7.

A

shift inhibitor

is required on all residential refuse or recycle pick-up trucks that will not allow the transmission to be

shifted into gear until the engine speed has returned to idle.

8.

Oil pump and

Driver Controlled Wheel Differential Lock(s)

are recommended for Refuse operations where vehicles operate

in areas of poor traction.

9.

Vehicle testing of any nature voids the warranty on Dana Spicer

®

drive axles.
