Additional Notes
- The Dennis Eagle Elite 6 power steering system has two distinct fluid capacities depending on configuration. Units fitted with Electronic Truck Steering hold 8 liters, while those without hold 4 liters, meaning the presence of Electronic Truck Steering doubles the total fluid volume in the system.
- The 4-liter capacity figure applies to Elite 6 vehicles without Electronic Truck Steering, representing a more conventional hydraulic power steering arrangement with a smaller reservoir and circuit volume.
- The 8-liter capacity associated with Electronic Truck Steering reflects a more complex steering system, where greater fluid volume is consistent with additional hydraulic components or extended circuit routing typical of electronically managed truck steering assemblies.
- Under normal use conditions, the power steering fluid level is specified for inspection every 1 month or 250 hours, whichever comes first, indicating a relatively frequent monitoring schedule suited to heavy-duty municipal vehicle operation.
- The fluid change interval under normal use conditions is set at 24 months or 4,000 hours. At typical operational hours for a refuse collection vehicle, the hour-based threshold may be reached before the calendar-based one, making the 4,000-hour figure a practically relevant service trigger.
- Both the check and change intervals are stated under normal use conditions, meaning the 1-month/250-hour check frequency and the 24-month/4,000-hour change frequency apply to standard operating environments as defined for the 2014-2022 model range.
