Cab
WARNING
Do not carry loose objects in your cab,
it can be dangerous. In a sudden stop,
or even going over a bump in the road,
they could fly through the air and strike
you or a passenger. You could be in-
jured or even killed. Secure all loose
objects in the cab before moving the
vehicle. Carry any heavy objects such
as luggage in the exterior storage
compartment and close it securely.
First Aid Kit
Ensure that you are always in possession
of a first aid kit and replace first aid items
as soon as possible after use to have the
kit always ready.
Tire Chains
If you need tire chains, install them on both
sides of each driving axle.
CAUTION
Chains on the tires of only one tandem
axle can damage the driveline U-joints
and the inter-axle differential. Your re-
pairs could be costly and time-con-
suming.
Approaching your Vehicle
• Check the overall appearance and
condition. Are windows, mirrors,
and lights clean and unobstructed?
• Check beneath the vehicle. Are
there signs of fuel, oil, or water
leaks?
• Check for damaged, loose, or
missing parts. Are there parts
showing signs of excessive wear
or lack of lubrication? Have a
qualified mechanic examine any
questionable items and repair them
without delay.
• Check your load. Is it secured
properly?
Oils and Lubricants
Various kinds of oil and other lubricants
used on the vehicle may constitute a health
hazard if they come into contact with the
skin. This also applies to engine coolant,
windshield washer fluid, refrigerant in air
conditioning systems, battery acid and
diesel fuel. So avoid direct contact as
much as possible.
The engine and the surrounding area must
be free of inflammable materials to avoid
the risk of fire.
Exercise caution when changing hot oil; it
can cause serious bodily injury.
WARNING
Air conditioning refrigerant can be haz-
ardous to your health. Do not expose
yourself to leaking refrigerant for pro-
longed periods near excessive heat,
open flames, or without proper ventila-
tion. Failure to do so may result in
death or personal injury.
