GENERAL Safety Precautions The following list of safety precautions against possible safety hazards is not exhaustive and, therefore all safety related workshop practices and precautions must be exercised. General Ensure all Warnings and Cautions listed in this publication are strictly adhered to. Always read carefully the instructions printed on labels or stamped on components and obey them completely. Such instructions are included for your health and safety; do not disregard them. Wear clean protective clothing or apparatus when necessary. Engine Do not run engine in a confined space or unventilated area or with a leaky exhaust system. If the engine must be run in a confined space ensure that an exhaust extractor is used. To prevent a possible fire risk, ensure that the engine and its surrounding areas are clean and free from leakages/ spillages of any inflammable liquids (e.g. fuel oil, engine oil, etc.). Cooling System Do not attempt to remove the surge tank filler cap while the engine is running or still hot. Do not attempt to fill a hot engine with cold coolant. Do not fill the cooling system through the pressure cap aperture. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1 PB1340A.book Page 2 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Safety Precautions General Components Ensure that all personnel are clear of any rotating parts or moving components. Synthetic rubber seals, O-rings and gaskets which have been damaged by fire or come into contact with direct heat, may produce hazardous fumes and highly corrosive chemicals. Allow burnt or decomposed seals etc. to completely cool. Use impervious protective clothing and gloves. Work in a well ventilated area when handling these components. In the event of skin contact seek medical attention immediately. Electrical Batteries contain electrolyte (sulfuric acid) which is a highly corrosive and toxic substance. Accidental skin/eye contact with battery electrolyte can cause serious personal injury. Always wear protective clothing and suitable eye protection when handling batteries and wash hands after use. WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Always disconnect the batteries before commencing work on the vehicle. To minimize the risk of accidental short circuits when disconnecting the batteries, ensure that the negative () lead is disconnected first and the positive (+) lead last; reverse this procedure when re-connecting the batteries. To prevent accidental short circuits do not place tools/metal objects on or near the battery terminals. Batteries produce a highly flammable and explosive gas while being charged. It is essential that the area around the battery is well ventilated and protected against any flame, spark or intense heat source. The use of "boost" chargers is not recommended. The ignition switch, steering lock, and its electrical circuits are designed to prevent the auxiliary circuits and starter motor from being energized while the steering lock is engaged. Serious consequences could result from alteration or substitution of the ignition switch and 2 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 3 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Safety Precautions General steering lock or its wiring. Under no circumstances must the ignition switch be separated from the steering lock. Oils and Lubricants Many liquids and other substances used in commercial vehicles are highly toxic. These must not be consumed or inhaled and, as far as possible, must be kept from skin contact. These substances, amongst others, include battery acid, anti-freeze, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, fuel, windshield washer fluid, refrigerant, and various adhesives. Avoid unnecessary contact with used engine oil. Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause serious skin disorders. Extreme care must be taken when draining engine oil; hot engine oil can cause severe personal injury. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Maintenance Activities Do not use the jack as the sole means of support; position suitable supports beneath the chassis frame. Do not attempt to work on the vehicle with the cab partially tilted. Do not attempt to stand on the cab roof. Chassis Frame Do not weld or subject the chassis frame to a severe localized heat source. Failure to observe this precaution may result in irreparable damage to the material structure of the chassis frame with consequent loss in chassis frame strength. Welding or drilling on the chassis frame must not be undertaken without the prior written consent of PACCAR Inc. Unauthorized, indiscriminate welding or drilling may adversely affect the safe load-carrying characteristics of the chassis frame. Welding · Observe these recommended procedures to protect electronic systems during welding operations. All Electronic Engines Before welding on vehicles equipped with electronic engines, the following precautions should be observed: NOTE: Welding to frame rail may void frame rail warranty. · Turn engine OFF. · Disconnect all electronic connec- tions to the vehicle batteries. · Remove battery power cable and insulate it from the vehicle. 3 PB1340A.book Page 4 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Safety Precautions General · Disconnect all Electronic Control Module (ECM) connectors (on electronic engines). · Do not use the ECM or engine ground stud for the ground of the welding probe. · Ensure that the ground connection for the welder is as close to the weld point as possible. This ensures maximum weld current and minimum risk to damage of electrical components on the vehicle. All AntiLock Braking Systems (ABS) Before welding anywhere on the vehi- cle, detach the ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) connector and all other electronic control units. Vehicle Load The load must always be properly secured so that it cannot move while the vehicle is in motion, even during an emergency stop. Side walls, partitions, headboards, etc., are not designed to withstand high forces. Loads must not project more than is permitted by local or national regulations. The stability of the vehicle may be impaired by the load and an increased turning circle may be required. Fire Extinguisher Ensure that you always have a fire extinguisher with you. It should be well secured within hand's reach of the driver and easily accessible for rescue workers and others providing assistance. Have the fire extinguisher checked for operational readiness as recommended by the manufacturer. When it has been used, have it refilled at the earliest opportunity. First Aid Kit Make sure that you always have a first aid kit with you. Replenish the contents as soon as possible after use. Winter Driving Conditions When winter driving conditions are expected, ensure that your vehicle is prepared in accordance with the recommendations in "Preventive Maintenance Before the Winter Season" on page 88. When severe winter driving conditions are anticipated, ensure that your vehicle is fitted with winter tires or that you have snow equipment, as allowed by state law. 4 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 5 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Items of Special Importance General Items of Special Importance To prevent damage to the vehicle, the following instructions must be strictly observed. Break-in The following "break-in" recommendations should be applied during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of a new vehicle: · Do not operate at full engine power in any gear. · Do not allow the engine to labor in any gear. · Do not allow the engine to run at idling speeds for excessive periods. During the "break-in" period do not subject the new vehicle to excessive loads; this also applies when an overhauled engine, transmission, or differential has been installed. After a cold start continue to drive in a low gear and at a moderate engine speed until the engine coolant temperature has reached 140°F (60°C). Check the instrument panel regularly when driving and take immediate steps to rectify possible problems at the first sign of trouble. Do not let the engine idle for longer than necessary. This is harmful for the engine and also causes unnecessary pollution of the environment. CAUTION: In the event of the engine stalling while the vehicle is in motion, power assistance to the steering will be lost and, consequently, greater effort will be required to steer the vehicle. The engine turbocharger is a precision instrument. For this reason the following operating procedures should be observed: · When starting the engine, do not allow it to exceed its idling speed for 10 seconds; this procedure will ensure that adequate oil pressure is available at the turbocharger bearings thus preventing initial oil starvation. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 5 PB1340A.book Page 6 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Items of Special Importance General · Before stopping the engine, allow it to idle for one to two minutes (particularly if the engine has been subjected to a high speed journey or high engine loadings). This procedure will ensure an adequate oil supply to the turbocharger bearings while the rotor assembly is cooling, thus improving the life span of the turbocharger bearings. · Any abnormal noises or vibrations from the turbocharger must be reported immediately. Cooling System CAUTION: Damage to the engine and cooling system, such as corrosion and cavitation erosion, will occur unless antifreeze ZEREX PENRAY 2792 is used and maintained with supplemental coolant additive Pencool 3000 with Stabil-Aid. As needed, fill or top off the cooling system only with a ready-mixed clean water/approved antifreeze solution using these products. The use of other antifreeze products will void your engine, radiator, and cooling system warranties. The engine cooling system is thermostatically controlled, so the use of a radiator cover in cold weather is unnecessary. Air Leakage If the pressure in the air reservoirs drops rapidly with the engine switched off, this indicates a leak in the compressed air system. Since this affects the safety of the brake system, the leak must be traced and repaired as quickly as possible. System Voltage The vehicle is equipped with a 12 volt negative ground electrical system. When replacing or fitting electrical or electronic components, always verify that they are suitable for this system voltage, polarity, and capacity. Batteries Do not disconnect the battery terminals while the engine is running; failure to observe this precaution may result in major damage to the alternator. Serious battery damage and vehicle starting difficulties will occur if the batteries are discharged ("drained") below 12 volts. To prevent the batteries from being inadvertently discharged, it is essential the following precautions are observed: 6 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 7 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Items of Special Importance General · Ensure that all lights are switched off when not required. · Vehicles fitted with a liftgate: Avoid excessive and severe battery drain when operating the liftgate. Battery Charging WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. WARNING! Do not try to charge a froz en battery. (Even a battery with ice particles on the electrolyte surface is dangerous.) Allow it to thaw out first. And always allow the battery to thaw gradually--do not apply direct heat. Gas trapped in the ice may cause an explosion. First connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery charger to the positive (+) terminal post of the battery and then the negative () terminal to the negative () terminal post. After charging, switch off the battery charger and then disconnect the negative () terminal followed by the positive (+) terminal. For normal charging, the battery cables may remain in place. For fast-charging, both battery cables must be disconnected. Jump Starting Vehicles It is not recommended that you attempt to jump start your vehicle. If you have a battery problem, it is best to contact a dealer or a reputable towing service. However, if your battery is discharged (dead), you may be able to start it by using energy from a good battery in another vehicle. This is termed "jump starting." Be sure to follow the precautions and instructions below. WARNING! Batteries can injure you severely. They contain acid, produce poisonous and explosive gases, and supply levels of electric current high enough to cause burns. A spark or flame near a battery on charge may cause it to explode with great force. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 7 PB1340A.book Page 8 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Items of Special Importance General WARNING! Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or painted surfaces. Always wear eye protection. Battery acid that may spill during charging should be washed off with a solution of warm water and baking soda to neutralize the acid. If you accidentally get acid in your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with cold water for several minutes and call a doctor. · Be careful that metal tools (or any metal in contact with the positive terminal) do not contact the positive battery terminal and any other metal on the vehicle at the same time. Remove metal jewelry and avoid leaning over the battery. · If metal jewelry or other metal comes in contact with electrical circuits, a short circuit may occur causing you to be injured, as well as electrical system failure and damage to the vehicle. · If the level of electrolyte is low, add distilled water and replace the battery caps before proceeding. If no water is available, remove the battery caps and cover the filler openings with a cloth before proceeding. After jump starting the vehicle, dispose of the cloth. To Jump Start Your Vehicle WARNING! The voltage of the booster battery must have a 12volt rating. And the capacity of the booster battery should not be lower than that of the discharged battery. Use of batteries of different voltage or substantially different capacity rating may cause an explosion and personal injury. 8 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CAUTION: Applying a higher voltage booster battery will cause expensive damage to sensitive electronic components, such as relays, and the radio. · Improper hook-up of jumper cables or not following these procedures can damage the alternator or cause serious damage to both vehicles. WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury and damage to the vehicle, heed all warnings and instructions of the jumper cable manufacturer. · The jumper cables must be long enough so that the vehicles do not touch. If either battery has vent caps, remove them and check the fluid level. If it is OK, replace the caps before proceeding. If no water is available, remove the PB1340A.book Page 9 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Items of Special Importance General caps and cover the filler openings with a cloth before proceeding. After jump starting the vehicle, dispose of the cloth. WARNING! If you do not cover the filler openings on the battery, electrolyte could boil out of the openings and hurt someone or damage the vehicle. Replace caps securely if the battery has the full level of electrolyte. If the electrolyte is low and no water is available, cover with a cloth. Preparing the vehicles: 1. Position the two vehicles together, but do not let them touch. 2. Turn OFF all lights, heater, radio, and any other accessories. 3. Set the parking brakes. 4. Ensure that the transmission is in neutral position or, if auto shift, that it is in park position. 5. Turn engine OFF (booster vehicle). 6. Disconnect ground cable on booster battery. Connect the batteries: 1. Attach one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal of the discharged (dead) battery. This will have a large red "+" or "P" on the battery case, post, or clamp. · Attach the other end of the same cable to the positive (+) terminal of the good (booster) battery. · Attach the remaining jumper cable FIRST to the negative terminal (black "" or "N") of the good battery. · Attach the other end of the negative cable to a bare metal part bolted to the engine block (of the vehicle with the dead battery) or, if possible, clamp directly to the engine block. IMPORTANT: Always connect positive (+) to positive (+) and negative () to negative (). 2. Start the engine: · Start the vehicle that has the good battery first. Let it run for a few minutes. · Then start the vehicle that has the discharged (dead) battery. If the engine fails to start, do not continue to crank the starter. Contact the nearest Authorized Service Center. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 9 PB1340A.book Page 10 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Protecting the Environment Remove jumper cables: WARNING! When disconnecting jumper cables, make sure they do not get caught in any moving parts in the engine compartment. You could be seriously injured. · Reverse the above procedure exactly when removing the jumper cables. With engine running, disconnect jumper cables from both vehicles in the exact reverse order (Steps 4 1), making sure to first remove the negative cable from the vehicle with the discharged battery. Protecting the Environment The growing scarcity of the world's natural resources and the escalating problem of pollution pose serious threats to the environment. In order to conserve resources and to minimize pollution it is recommended that the following practices are adopted: · Do not dispose of used oils, hydraulic fluids, or engine coolant in drains, sewers, water courses, or land-fill sites. These fluids are harmful to the environment and must be disposed of properly. General · Used oils, coolant, and hydraulic fluids should be returned to the appropriate authority for recycling. Ensure that all waste fluid products are segregated and are not intermixed; this practice will increase the efficiency and viability of the recycling process. · Ensure that the vehicle is regularly serviced to maintain peak efficiency. A correctly maintained vehicle will contribute to maximum fuel economy and a reduction in exhaust gas pollutants. 10 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 11 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Cleaning the Vehicle Cleaning the Vehicle Before cleaning the vehicle, check for evidence of leakage around the engine, axles, transmission, etc., because this will not be possible when carrying out service operations after the vehicle has been cleaned. When a high-pressure cleaner is used, take special note of the following points: · Ensure that all doors, windows, and cab grille are correctly closed. · Do not spray directly on seals. There is a danger of the seals being forced open by the high-pressure jet of water so that the grease packed behind them is flushed away. · The hydraulic fluid reservoir for the steering gear is provided with a ventilation opening. Water may enter the reservoir through this opening and damage the steering gear. · When cleaning the radiator/intercooler, take care not to damage the ribs or fins of the cores. · Make sure that no water can enter the differential or transmission via the ventilation openings. · Ensure that no water is allowed to enter the clutch fluid reservoir via the ventilation opening. · The engine and engine compartment may be cleaned with a highpressure cleaner. However, do not General aim the jet of water directly at electrical components such as the starter motor, alternator, etc. · Do not aim the jet of water directly at electrical connections such as connectors, cable feed-through for the vehicle lighting, etc. · When cleaning the vehicle, make sure that no water enters the air intake system via the air inlet or its flexible joints. CAUTION: After steam cleaning the vehicle, it is essential that all grease points are lubricated with a grease gun or with the automatic chassis lubrication system to prevent moisture and dirt from entering the various pivot points. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 11 PB1340A.book Page 12 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Cleaning the Vehicle General Cleaning the Cab The external paintwork of the cab is subject to attack by aggressive substances, the severity of which depends upon the specific transport role and operating conditions of the vehicle, for example salt scattered on icy roads, and air pollution. The paintwork must therefore be cleaned regularly. When cleaning the cab, make sure that: · no aggressive cleaners are used; · no stiff brushes are used; · all seams, gaps, and door frames are thoroughly cleaned. Waxing the Cab To maintain and protect the cab paintwork, it is recommended that a coating of wax is applied at least twice a year. Your dealer can advise you about additional anti-rust treatment and maintenance of the paintwork when the vehicle is in service. Cleaning the Cab Interior Clean the carpets and seats with a brush or vacuum cleaner and occasionally with diluted upholstery cleaner; do not attempt to "dry clean" the carpets or seats. Clean vinyl faced upholstery and paintwork with a mild household detergent; do not use harsh abrasives or solventbased cleaning solutions. NOTE: The appearance of your vehicle is the calling card of your company! 12 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 13 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Cab Getting to Know Your Vehicle GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE Cab The equipment, controls, and switches within the cab may vary depending on the vehicle specification.

Operating the Transmission Introduction Your is equipped with either a manual, automatic, or automated manual transmission with special features and gearing to meet your particular needs. It is important for you, the driver, to understand how your particular transmission is operated. In addition to the instructions listed in this Operator's Manual, additional instructions and guidelines are available in the transmission manufacturer's Driver/Operator's Instruction Manual in your glovebox. Read the general guidelines and instructions that follow and 58 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 59 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Operating the Transmission Driving read the specific instructions contained in the transmission manufacturer's Driver/Operator's Instruction Manual. Operating Manual Transmissions If your truck has an automatic transmission, go to page 62. If your truck has an automated manual transmission, such as the Eaton® AutoshiftTM, go to page 63. Your transmission has six forward gears with full synchromesh engagement, and one reverse gear. You will find a shift pattern diagram on the gearshift knob. Make sure you follow the correct sequence for shifting your transmission. Transmission WarmUp In cold weather [below 32°F (0°C)], you may find shifting sluggish when you first star t up. Transmission war m-up is especially important at this time, but it is always a good idea to warm your transmission oil before starting out on the road. To warm the transmission lubricating oil during engine warm-up: 1. Put the transmission in Neutral. 2. Release the clutch pedal and let the transmission operate in Neutral for three to five minutes prior to shifting into either a forward or reverse range. Putting the Vehicle in Motion WARNING! Never drive your vehicle with the parking brake applied. Always release the parking brakes prior to moving the vehicle. Failure to disengage the parking brakes prior to moving your vehicle could result in excessive heat build-up in the brake system, resulting in a fire. NOTE: Today's diesel electronic engines have significant torque and startability power at low RPM. Combinations of engine speed and available torque may over-power the vehicle's parking brakes. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 59 PB1340A.book Page 60 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Operating the Transmission Driving CAUTION: Always use first gear or a low speed range to start the vehicle in motion. The use of a higher gear or speed range forces undue strain on the engine, clutch, other transmission components, and may cause damage. After making sure the vehicle's oil and air pressure are correct and all other parts and systems are in proper working condition: 1. Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the transmission into first gear. 2. Lift the sleeve on the parking brake handle and push the handle fully forward to release the brakes. 3. Release the clutch pedal, then gradually accelerate. 4. Do not allow your vehicle to roll (even a little) in the opposite direction during clutch engagement. If you need to start up on an incline, apply your service brakes before you release the parking brake. Then release your service brakes as you engage the clutch and apply throttle. For further instructions on operating your transmission, see the transmission manufacturer's Driver/Operator's Instruction Manual. If you have a misaligned gear condition in your vehicle's transmission and cannot start, gradually release the clutch, allowing the drive gear teeth to line up properly. Then the drive gear can roll enough to allow the teeth to line up properly and complete the shift. The best engine performance and maximum economy is obtained if gears are properly selected. This efficiency is achieved by always selecting gears 60 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine within optimum engine rpm, which is where maximum torque and power are obtained. Shifting Gears in a New Vehicle Shift carefully in a new vehicle. The transmission may be a little stiff at first. Avoid gear clashing by closely following these procedures. When you are operating a new vehicle or one that has been exposed to cold weather, you want the transmission lubricant (fluid) to circulate and coat the contacting surfaces of the gears. Metal contacting metal in moving parts may seriously damage your transmission-- do not drive in one gear for long periods of time until the transmission lubricant has a chance to coat all contacting surfaces. PB1340A.book Page 61 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Operating the Transmission Driving WARNING! Do not coast with the transmission in neutral or with the clutch pedal depressed--it is a dangerous practice. Without the use of the retarding power of the drivetrain, your vehicle can reach dangerous speeds. At very high speeds you may not be able to put the transmission in any gear. At high speeds you could seriously damage your vehicle or cause an accident when you put the transmission in gear. The engine speed could exceed the maximum governed speed and cause a serious accident due to mechanical failures. More Transmission Tips "Riding" the Clutch The clutch is not a footrest. DO NOT DRIVE WITH YOUR FOOT RESTING ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL. It will allow your clutch to slip, causing excessive heat and wear--damage could result. Release Bearing Wear When you must idle your engine for any period of time, shift your transmission to Neutral and disengage the clutch (take your foot OFF of the pedal). This helps prevent unnecessary wear to your clutch release bearing, and it is less tiring for you, too. Clutch Adjustment If your truck has an Eaton® Solo clutch, no adjustments are necessary. This is a self-adjusting clutch and requires no adjustments for wear. Inspect manual clutches according to the maintenance and lubrication intervals in this manual. Regular maintenance must be followed to maintain correct clutch adjustment. Have your dealer's Service Department perform any adjustment necessary. Tips for Manual Transmission Operation · Always use the clutch when making upshifts or downshifts. · Always start in first gear. · Never downshift when the vehicle is moving too fast. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 61 PB1340A.book Page 62 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Operating the Transmission Driving · Never slam or jerk the shift lever to complete gear engagement. · Never coast with the transmission in Neutral and the clutch disengaged. · To provide smooth gear engagements while shifting, use proper coordination between shift lever and clutch. Operating Automatic Transmissions An automatic transmission makes shifting much easier, of course. But because your truck pulls a heavy load, it is important to use it efficiently. For correct automatic transmission operation, also see the transmission manufacturer's Operator's Manual. · On most automatic transmissions there is no "PARK" position, so you will need to apply the parking brake before leaving the cab. See page 66. WARNING! Do not leave the cab without applying the parking brake. The truck could roll and cause an injury accident. Always apply the parking brake before you leave the cab. The MD Automatic Transmission The MD (electronic) Series of transmissions have four, five, or six forward speeds, a Neutral position, and one reverse speed. Pressing the appropriate button selects the desired gear. 01916 MD Automatic Transmission - Electronic Shift Selector Vehicles equipped with the MD transmissions have various diagnostic features. Refer to the transmission manufacturer's Operator's Manual for information on all diagnostic features. 62 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 63 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Operating the Transmission The MD transmission is programmed to restrict full operation until specific temperatures are reached. See the transmission manufacturer's Operator's Manual for details. Operating Automated Manual Transmissions The Eaton® AutoshiftTM transmission is an automated manual transmission. The AutoshiftTM is a partially automated Eaton® Fuller® Roadranger® transmission that automatically selects and engages the transmission's gears. The driver must use the clutch to start and stop the vehicle, but not for shifting through the gears. A shift begins when the AutoshiftTM computer detects that conditions are right for a shift. The transmission signals the engine controller to break driveline torque and provides engine RPM for synchronizing the next gear. When engine speed and gear speed are synchronized the transmission engages the next gear and signals the engine to resume operation. Please see the transmission Operator's Manual for further details on the transmission's operation and components. WARNING! Do not leave the cab without applying the parking brake. The truck could roll and cause an injury accident. Always apply the parking brake before you leave the cab.

As excessive pressure may damage the hydraulic pump, stop turning the steering wheel when the wheels are at full lock or are blocked by an obstacle. Steering is also possible without power assistance, but this requires considerable effort. Brakes Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Your truck is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The ABS reduces the possibility of wheel lock-up. If a wheel is about to lock during braking, the ABS will automatically adjust air pressure to the brake chambers on the appropriate wheel(s) to prevent wheel lock-up. The ABS is automatically turned on when the ignition switch is turned on. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving WARNING! Do not rely on an anti-lock brake system that is functioning improperly. You could lose control of the vehicle resulting in a severe accident and personal injury. If your ABS lamp goes on while you are driving or stays on after the selfcheck, your anti-lock system might not be working. The ABS may not function in an em erg en cy. You wil l st il l have conventional brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If the lamp indicates a problem, have the ABS checked. CAUTION: It is essential that the following driving procedures are observed: Do not abuse the ABS system by excessively harsh or delayed applications of the service brakes. 65 PB1340A.book Page 66 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Brakes Driving Do not adapt your normal driving style when driving a vehicle equipped with ABS. It is essential that the braking system is operated in a safe and conventional manner. ABS does not shorten the overall vehicle braking (stopping) distance. In the event of an ABS malfunction, the ABS will be automatically disengaged and the ABS warning light will illuminate. The conventional braking system will remain operative, but the vehicle must be driven with care and the fault repaired as soon as possible. NOTE: The operation and function of the ABS warning lights are detailed in the "Instruments and controls" section of this handbook. Service brakes The service brakes are operated by the footbrake pedal. If the vehicle has been driven through water or subjected to high pressure washing, full braking power may not be available; dry the brakes by lightly applying the brakes while the vehicle is in motion. If there is a malfunction in the service brake system, the parking brake can be used for emergency braking; do not continue a trip with a faulty service brake system. Parking brake / emergency brake WARNING! Do not attempt to release the parking brake while the steering lock is engaged; failure to observe this precaution can result in vehicle movement with the loss of steering control. 66 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 67 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Brakes Driving The parking brake control operates the spring brake actuators to apply the rear brakes on the vehicle. Move the control lever (1) fully rearward to apply the parking brakes; a locking sleeve (2) will lock the control lever in position. To release the parking brake, lift the locking sleeve and move the control lever fully forward to the off position. A red warning light in the instrument panel will illuminate whenever the parking brake is applied; refer to the "Instruments and controls" section of this handbook. In the event of a failure in the service brakes, the parking brake can be used as an emergency brake. Gradually move the parking brake control lever rearward to slowly apply the rear brakes on the vehicle. Braking effort will be proportional to the control lever movement. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING! Do not drive this vehicle with malfunctioning brakes. If one of the brake circuits should become inoperative, braking distances will increase substantially and handling characteristics while braking will be affected. You could lose control of your vehicle, be severely injured, or cause an accident. Have it towed to the nearest dealer or qualified workshop for repair. Engine Exhaust Brake (option) An engine exhaust brake may be installed (as an option) to create a braking effect on the drive wheels. This device uses your engine's power to slow your vehicle down. Because it can help keep your vehicle's brakes from overheating, it can save wear and tear on the service brakes. However, the engine exhaust brake is not an emergency brake. Ideally (on normal road surfaces), you should slow your vehicle with the engine exhaust brake (where permitted by law) and use the service brakes only for stopping completely. Operating this way will greatly prolong the life of the service brakes. WARNING! The service brakes must be used in an emergency. The engine exhaust brake alone might not stop you fast enough to prevent an accident. You could be badly hurt if you relied only on the engine exhaust brake. · The engine exhaust brake is NOT intended as the primary brake for the vehicle, nor is it an emergency brake. The engine 67 PB1340A.book Page 68 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Brakes Driving exhaust brake only helps the service brakes by using pressure to slow the drivetrain. Use the service brakes for quick stops. Exhaust Brake Operation With the exhaust brake switch ON, the engine exhaust brake automatically creates its braking effect when you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and all other required conditions are met (see below). The brake switch is located on the switch panel between the seats. It controls whether the brake is ON (ready to slow the vehicle down) or OFF (no braking action). · Make sure the exhaust brake switch is OFF before starting the engine. · After the engine is started, warmed up, and you are ready to get under way, turn the exhaust brake switch ON for added braking effect. The engine exhaust brake activates if all of the following conditions are true: · 0% throttle · Clutch pedal is not depressed · PTO and cruise control are inactive · Engine speed is greater than 1000 rpm WARNING! Do not use the engine exhaust brake when operating on road surfaces with poor traction (such as wet, icy, or snow covered roads or gravel). The engine exhaust brake can cause the wheels to skid on a s l i p p e r y s u r f a c e . Yo u could lose control of the vehicle and/or jackknife if the wheels begin to skid, resulting in an accident. Your vehicle is equipped with Rockwell/ WABCO anti-lock brakes (ABS) and the operation of the engine exhaust brake (if turned ON) will be controlled by the ABS. For more ABS information, see "Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)" on page 65. 68 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 69 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Stopping Driving Stopping Parking When the vehicle is parked on a grade, one or more of the following precautions should also be taken: · Chock the wheels at front and rear. NOTE: Suitable wheel chocks are at a minimum an 18-inch (46 cm) long 4x4. · Angle the front wheels so that the vehicle will not move into the traffic stream if it is accidentally set in motion. Apply the parking brake with the parking brake lever. Check that all the windows and the roof vent are closed. Turn off the ignition and remove the key. Then lock all the doors of the vehicle. Turning off the engine WARNING! Do not remove the ignition key nor turn off the engine while the vehicle is in motion. Failure to observe this precaution can result in steering lock engagement. With the vehicle stationary, apply the parking brake and place the shift lever in Neutral. Before stopping the engine, allow it to idle for one to two minutes.

Never drive your vehicle with the parking brake applied. Always release the parking brakes prior to moving the vehicle. Failure to disengage the parking brakes prior to moving your vehicle could result in excessive heat build-up in the brake system, resulting in a fire. NOTE: Today's diesel electronic engines have significant torque and startability power at low RPM. Combinations of engine speed and available torque may over-power the vehicle's parking brakes. NOTE: Suitable wheel chocks are at a minimum an 18-inch (46 cm) long 4x4. PB1340A.book Page 93 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Emergency repairs WARNING! Do not drive vehicle with malfunctioning brakes. If one of the brake circuits should become inoperative, braking distances will increase substantially and handling characteristics while braki n g w il l b e af fe c t ed . Yo u could lose control of your vehicle, be severely injured, or cause an accident. Have it towed to the nearest dealer or qualified workshop for repair. You may sometimes have to release your vehicle's spring brakes by hand. This could happen if the system air pressure does not reach operating pressure because your engine or compressor is not working properly. You will have to release the spring brakes at the spring brake chambers. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNING! Do not disassemble a spring brake chamber. These chambers contain a powerful spring that is compressed. Sudden release of this spring can cause you to be severely injured. · Do not operate a vehicle when the spring brakes have been manually released. Driving a vehicle after its spring brakes are manually released is extremely dangerous. You will probably have no brakes at all. You could have a serious or fatal accident. · Releasing the spring brakes on an unsecured vehicle could lead to an accident. The vehicle could roll, ca using sev ere injury. Always secure the vehicle with wheel chocks, chains, or other safe means to prevent rolling before manually releasing the spring brakes. To move a vehicle immobilized by the spring brakes due to loss of air pressure in the brake system, perform the following procedure: 1. Block the wheels with chocks. 2.Remove the cap from the spring chamber. 3. Remove the release stud assembly from the side pocket, and remove the release nut and washer from the release stud. 93 PB1340A.book Page 94 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Emergency repairs 4. Slide out the release stud. 5. Insert the release stud through the opening in the spring chamber where the cap was removed. Insert it into the pressure plate. Turn the release stud 1/4 turn clockwise in the pressure plate. This secures the cross pin into the cross pin area of the pressure plate and locks it into the manual release position. 6. Assemble the release stud washer and nut on the release stud. 7. With a wrench, turn the release stud assembly nut until the compression spring is 9095 percent caged. While doing this, check to make sure the push rod (adapter push rod or service push rod) is retracting. Do not over-torque the release stud assembly. (SCam type maximum: 50 ft-lb.) The spring brake is now mechanically released. Jacking The Vehicle WARNING! If you are not fully qualified and not equipped with the proper tools and equipment, do not attempt to raise the vehicle or remove or install a damaged tire and wheel assembly. Obtain expert help. A person can be seriously injured and/or damage can result from using the wrong service methods. Truck tires and wheels should be serviced only by trained personnel using proper equipment. Before attempting to jack the vehicle, ensure the following: · The complete vehicle is on stable level ground. · The parking brake is applied and chocks have been positioned under the road wheels. 94 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 95 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Emergency repairs · It is recommended that suitable supports are positioned beneath the appropriate axle when jacking the vehicle. Locate the hydraulic jack under the road spring of the appropriate axle, as close as possible to the road wheel. Wheels WARNING! The road wheels and wheel nuts used on this vehicle are hub piloted; do not use any other type of road wheel or wheel nut Hub-piloted wheels have the following characteristics: · Wheels with cylindrical bolt holes. · Wheel nuts with a loose (captive) flat thrust washer. Changing wheels 1. Chock the road wheels and position the jack under the appropriate axle, as close as possible to the wheel that is being changed. 2. Clean the wheel nuts or, if applicable, remove the protective cover from each wheel nut. 3. Loosen, but do not remove the wheel nuts. 4. Jack the axle until the road wheel(s) are clear of the ground. Remove the road wheel nuts and carefully detach the road wheel. 5. Before installing the road wheel, carefully clean the mating edge of the wheel hub and the inner edge of the spare wheel. Remove any burrs and traces of paint. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 95 PB1340A.book Page 96 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Emergency repairs Crisscross torque sequence for disc wheels 6. Install the wheel and gradually tighten the wheel nuts in a crisscross sequence to 450 to 500 lb. ft. (610 to 680 Nm). WARNING! Grooves in the wheel disc or other damage to the disc can lead to a serious accident. The disc will be weakened and can eventually come off, maybe causing you to lose control of your vehicle. Be sure to use the right components and the right tools. · The end of the wheel wrench must be smooth. Burrs on the end of the wrench can tear grooves in the disc, especially on aluminum wheels. These grooves may lead to cracks in the disc, and can cause it to fail. When installing the rear wheels, ensure that the tire inflation valves are opposed 180° to each other to facilitate tire inflation and aid tire balance. WARNING! Tighten wheel nuts properly. If they are not tightened properly, wheel nuts could eventually cause the wheel to become loose, to fail, and/ or to come off while the vehicle is moving, possibly causing loss of control and/or personal injury or damage to the vehicle. After the vehicle travels about 50 to 100 miles (80 to 160 km), wheel mountings "seat in" and will lose some initial torque. Check hub/wheel mountings after this initial period and retighten. If any wheel bolt(s) need replacing, all the bolts of the same wheel MUST be replaced. After changing a wheel, the difference in tire diameter between the various wheels on the vehicle may then be too 96 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PB1340A.book Page 97 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Emergency repairs large (caused, for example, by a difference in tread depths and/or tire pressures). The ABS is not designed to deal with excessive differences of this nature, as a result the system will disengage and the ABS warning light will illuminate. Dependent upon the type of tires fitted to the front and rear axles, this problem may occur with a worn tire which is under-inflated by approx 29 psi. Consequently, if the ABS warning light illuminates after a wheel/tire change, always check the tire pressure before checking anything else. This means that in extreme conditions the ABS will no longer operate! This is also why the maximum permitted difference in tire diameter for new tires is 7.5% (this may occur when different tire sizes are installed on the front and rear axles). 1 2 Towing Pin The front bumper incorporates a towing pin (1) that is fitted to the aperture of the bumper. The towing pin is secured in position within the bumper through turning and allowing locking pin to move into retaining slot. The towing pin is suitable for all normal towing operations. Ensure that the towing pin is secured in position. To check, attempt to lift pin vertically. It should not lift out. When installed correctly, the towing pin should protrude through the bottom aperture plate (2), and allow a vertical movement of no more than ½ inch when lifted. Towing If the vehicle requires towing, it is recommended that a suitable suspended towing procedure is employed. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 97 PB1340A.book Page 98 Friday, September 1, 2000 7:40 AM Emergency repairs WARNING! Do not attempt to tow the vehicle when it is fully laden. If the engine will not run, there will be no power assist to the steering and no air supply for the brakes. Being towed by another vehicle: · Ensure that the steering lock of the towed vehicle is disengaged (unless the vehicle is being towed with its front wheels hoisted clear of the road). · To prevent possible damage to the transmission, the driveshaft must always be disconnected at the differential. · If there is insufficient pressure in air reservoirs, release the parking brake as stated earlier in this section). If the differential is damaged: · Hoist the vehicle at the rear end and engage the steering lock. Replacing Bulbs Headlights 1. Remove four Torx head screws from the side marker light assemblies.
