Instruments and Controls WARNING! If the air pressure falls below 60 psi (414 kPa) the spring brakes may stop the vehicle abruptly, which could result in an accident and/ or injuries. Observe the warning light in the panel. If it comes on, do not continue to drive the vehicle until it has been properly repaired or serviced. WARNING! The air pressure warning light and the audible alarm indicate a dangerous situation: there is not enough air pressure in the reservoirs for repeated braking and the brake system has failed. Without the use of your service brakes, your spring brakes could suddenly apply. This could cause a wheel lock-up, loss of control, or over-take by following vehicles. You could be in an accident and severely injured. Operating Instructions • Bring the vehicle to a safe stop right away, while you still have control of the vehicle. Air Loss Emergency Procedure 1. Slow down carefully. 2. Move a safe distance off the road and stop. 3. Place the transmission in park and set the parking brake. (See Pages 65 and 72 for transmission shifting and parking brake information.) 4. Turn OFF the engine. 5. Turn ON the emergency flasher (See “Emergency Flasher Switch” on page 52) and use other warning devices to alert other motorists. – 26 – PB1318 3/01 Model 330
Operating Instructions Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel in the fuel tanks. Besides empty and full, the gauge also indicates 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of total fuel capacity. Instruments and Controls Your truck has one main fuel tank and up to four optional tanks. The fuel gauge shows the total amount of fuel. It is a good idea to keep fuel tanks at least half–full; otherwise, water that condenses in an empty tank will contaminate the fuel and could damage the engine. WARNING! Do not carry additional fuel containers in your vehicle. Fuel containers, either full or empty, may leak, explode, and cause or feed a fire. Do not carry extra fuel containers, even empty ones are dangerous. WARNING! Do not remove a fuel tank cap near an open flame. Hot fuel vapors are combustible and can cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or death. 02584 See page 115 for more information. Fuel Gauge Model 330 PB1318 3/01 – 27 –
