Caution
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition before you do any maintenance.
Heavy Duty Operation
Important If the vehicle is subjected to any of the
conditions listed below, maintenance should be performed
twice as frequently:
• Desert operation
• Cold climate operation (below 32 degrees F)
• Trailer towing
• Frequent operation on dusty roads
• Construction work
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or similar
dirty conditions, have your brakes inspected and
cleaned as soon as possible. This will prevent any
abrasive material from causing excessive wear.
• Under frequent heavy duty operating conditions,
lubricate all grease fittings.
Only qualified and authorized personnel shall be
permitted to maintain, repair, adjust or inspect the
vehicle.
Avoid fire hazards and have fire protection
equipment present in the work area. Do not use an
open flame to check level or leakage of fuel,
battery electrolyte or coolant. Do not use open
pans of fuel or flammable cleaning fluids for
cleaning parts.
Caution
Many of the subjects covered in this maintenance
section require raising and lowering the bed. The
following precautions must be taken or serious injury or
death could result.
Before servicing or making adjustments to the
machine, stop engine, set parking brake and
remove key from ignition switch. Any load
material must be removed from bed or other
attachment before working under raised bed.
Never work under a raised bed without positioning
safety support on a fully installed cylinder rod.
