VEHICLE RECOVERY AND SPRING BRAKES Comply with the following instructions to avoid transmission damage: • Always start the vehicle in motion with the shift lever in first gear. • Be sure that the transmission is fully engaged in gear before releasing the clutch pedal (manual only). • Do not shift into reverse while the vehicle is moving. • Do not permit the vehicle to be towed for long distances without removing the driveshaft. STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE Tire Chains If you need tire chains, install them on both sides of the driving axle. CAUTION: Chains on the tires of only one tandem axle can damage the driveline U–joints and the interaxle differential. Repairs could be costly and time-consuming. – 142 – Y53-6008A Medium Duty (R05/09)
STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE Shut–Down Introduction After you have parked in a safe place, check your vehicle to make sure it will be ready for the next trip. To make sure your vehicle is ready to go after a long stop (such as overnight), please follow the suggestions below. Your vehicle will be easier to get going when you are ready, and it will be safer for everyone who might be around it. Please remember, too, that in some states it is illegal to leave the engine running and the vehicle unattended. SHUT–DOWN WARNING! Do not use the trailer hand brake or service brakes to park and hold an unattended vehicle—use the parking brakes. Because service brakes work with air pressure, these brakes could slowly release. Your vehicle could roll, causing a serious accident. Someone could be hurt or killed. Never rely on the service brakes to hold a parked vehicle. 2. If you must park on a steep grade, always block the wheels. Final Stopping Procedures 1. Set the parking brake before leaving the driver's seat. To hold your vehicle while it is parked, DO NOT rely on the following: • air brakes • hand control valve for trailer brakes • engine compression Always use your parking brakes!
