WARNING!
Diesel fuel in the presence of an ignition
source could cause an explosion. A mixture
of gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel in-
creases this risk of explosion. Do not re-
move a fuel tank cap near an open flame.
Use only the fuel and/or additives recom-
mended for your engine. Failure to comply
may result in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.
CAUTION
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
Fuel, as recommended by engine manufac-
turers. If you need further information on
fuel specifications, consult the Engine Oper-
ation and Maintenance Manual.
If your vehicle is equipped with fuel shut-off
valves for the take-off and return lines, they
are located on the fuel lines entering the
top of the fuel tank. Fuel shut-off valves for
the fuel crossover line are on the bottom of
the fuel tank, at the crossover line
connection.
Final Stopping Procedures
These suggestions will help ensure that
your vehicle is ready to go after a long stop
(such as over night).
Your vehicle will be easier to get going
when you are ready, and it will be safer for
anyone who might be around it. Please
remember, too, that in some states it is
illegal to leave the engine running and the
vehicle unattended.
WARNING!
Using the trailer hand brake or air brakes to
hold a parked vehicle is dangerous. Be-
cause they work with air pressure, these
brakes could come loose. Your vehicle could
roll, causing an accident involving death or
personal injury. Always set the parking
brakes. Never rely on the trailer hand brake
or truck air brakes to hold a parked vehicle.
1. Set the parking brake before leaving
the driver’s seat. To hold your
vehicle while it is parked, don’t rely
on:
• Air Brakes
• Hand Control Valve for Trailer
Brakes
• Engine Compression
2. If you are parked on a steep grade,
block the wheels.
3. Drain water from the air reservoirs.
While the engine and air supply
system are still warm, drain
moisture from the air reservoirs.
Open the reservoir drains just
enough to drain the moisture. Don’t
deplete the entire air supply. Be
sure to close the drains before
leaving the vehicle.
