Chapter 1 | Safety
WHY THIS HANDBOOK IS
SO IMPORTANT!
This handbook contains the information
which you, the driver, will need for optimum
efficiency, safety and comfort when
operating this vehicle. Besides giving
instructions about operation and use, it
also pays attention to maintenance and
minor repairs which you may be able to
carry out yourself.
NOTE
This handbook is based on the chassis
with its fittings as it originally left the
factory.
Depending upon the required body and
equipment, the bodybuilder may have
made fundamental changes to various
parts or systems, such as the instrument
panel, the lighting or the electric wiring.
Every new vehicle is designed to conform
to all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards applicable at the time of
manufacture. Even with these safety
features, continued safe and reliable
operation depends greatly upon regular
vehicle maintenance. Follow the
maintenance recommendations found in
Preventive Maintenance. This will help
preserve your investment
Important: Make sure this handbook is in
the vehicle at all times. Read it carefully
before making your first journey, especially
the "Warnings and safety precautions",
"Cab, instruments and controls",
"Inspections" and "Driving" sections.
