Usage:
Wear protective clothing, glasses, respirator or other protective items when required.
Clean steps, grab irons and areas of the truck you will be working on or around.
Be careful when working on the truck. Hot parts such as exhaust manifolds, filters, brakes, engine oil, etc., can cause personal injury.
Attach a DO NOT OPERATE tag to controls while servicing the truck.
When using pressure air wear protective glasses and clothing. Maximum air pressure must be below 30 psi (205 kPa).
Do not attempt adjustments while the truck is moving or if the engine is running.
Do not smoke while refueling. Fumes from fuel are flammable.
Whenever draining lubricant extreme caution should be used, lubricant may be hot and can cause personal injury.
Do not smoke when observing battery electrolyte level. Batteries give off flammable fumes.
Do not allow electrolyte solution to contact skin or eyes. Electrolyte solution is an acid.
When using an external source to help start the engine, attach the ground cable last, and remove it first, to prevent sparks from occurring near the battery, which could cause battery vapors to explode. Attach the ground cable from the booster battery to the starter ground terminal on the truck to be started.
If the truck is equipped with an emergency starting receptacle, use a jumper cable with a plug that will mate with the receptacle.
Shutdown devices are recommended for vehicles handling flammable gases or working in an area where escaping gases could be encountered.

Do not attempt repairs you do not understand.
Operate the engine only in a well ventilated area.
Store oily rags or other combustible material in a safe place.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the truck when it is being serviced.
Hot hydraulic oil can cause personal injury. Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap slowly to relieve tank pressure. Allow oil to cool before draining the tank.
Hydraulic oil is flammable. Do not weld on pipes or tubes that are filled with oil.
Always inspect the cooling system with the engine stopped. Remove the radiator filler cap slowly to relieve pressure. Steam can cause personal injury.
Inhibitor contains alkali, avoid contact with skin and eyes.
