41PERIODIC SERVICE
A Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or the
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
A Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at all times until the fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
A Never overfill fuel tank. Replace the fuel tank cap and
tighten securely.
A Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.
A For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol.
Methanol is harmful to your health and to the
environment.
A Do not use stale fuel.
A Fill fuel tank at the end of daily operation to prevent
condensation in the fuel tank.
[Use of alcohol mixed gasoline (Gasohol: E10 or
less)]
Use "gasohol" only when the ethanol additive is less than
10% of the fuel. The use of methanol additive is not
recommended. For the best results, use unleaded fuel
with a minimum of 87 octane.
BChecking Engine Oil Level
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine before checking the
oil level.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and raise the cargo
bed. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
2. Allow the engine to cool for 5 minutes or more.
3. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it
clean, reinstall it, and draw it out again. Check to see
that the oil level lies between the two notches.
If the level is too low, add new oil to the prescribed
level at the oil inlet.
(See "LUBRICANTS AND FUEL" in "MAINTENANCE"
section.)
A When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from
the previous one, remove all of the old oil.
Never mix two different types of oil.
A If oil level is low, do not run engine.
A Clean the area around dipstick and oil inlet before
removing or loosening them, and be careful not to
allow the dust go into the engine.
