SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
Sleeper Bunks and Restraints
For cabs equipped with a sleeper, be sure to use the restraint devices when the vehicle is in motion. Your vehicle
may have belts and/or a net restraint system which are over the bunk or cover the opening.
If your vehicle has an upper and lower bunk, the upper bunk can be folded up out of the way to provide you with more room in the sleeper. Fold the upper bunk up and insert the metal end of the bunk retaining belts into the buckles.
WARNING!
Be sure the restraint system is used when anyone is occupying the sleeper while the vehicle is moving. In an ac cident, an unrestrained person lying in a sleeper bunk could be seriously in jured. He or she could be thrown from the bunk. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
Lower
WARNING!
Always keep the lower bunk in its down position while the vehicle is moving. If left in the up position, stored items could become loose during an acci dent and strike you, causing death or personal injury.
Before you move the vehicle, check to be sure the lower bunk is in the down position.

Introduction
The following section covers start-up procedures for getting your vehicle ready for the road.
Safe Vehicle Operation
For your safety, as well as those around you, be a responsible driver:
If you drink alcohol, do not drive.
Do not drive if you are tired, ill, or
under emotional stress.
Safe driving is proper concentration on the driving task. Keep distraction to a minimum to improve your concentration. Examples of distractions may include radio controls, GPS navigation controls, cellular telephone calls, cellular text messages, reading or reaching for something on the oor. Minimizing your distractions will improve safe driving and will help avoid an accident involving death or personal injury.
Be aware of prohibit the use of cellular telephones while driving. In addition to being an unsafe practice, it may be against local

The use of alcohol, drugs, and cer­tain medications will seriously impair perception, reactions, and driving abil ity. These circumstances can substan­tially increase the risk of an accident. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
Do not drink alcohol and drive. Your reexes, perceptions, and judgment can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol. You could have a serious or even fatal accident, if you drive after drinking. Please do not drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been drinking.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Do not text and drive. Your reaction time, perceptions and judgment can be affected while texting or using any

other form of mobile messaging while driving. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
Vehicle Loading
Compare your vehicle's load capacity with the total load you are carrying. If adjustments need to be made, make them, do not drive an overloaded vehicle. If you are overloaded or your load has shifted, your vehicle may be unsafe to drive.
WARNING!
Do not exceed the specied load rat­ing. Overloading can result in loss of vehicle control, either by causing com ponent failures or by affecting vehicle handling. Exceeding load ratings can also shorten the service life of the ve hicle. Failure to comply may result in death or personal injury.
The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), or the maximum front and rear gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) are determined by the components installed from the factory

It is good practice to carry an emergency equipment kit in your vehicle. One day, if you have a roadside emergency, you will be glad the following items are with you:
window scraper

Driver's Check List
To keep your vehicle in top shape and maintain a high level of safety for you, your passengers, and your load, make a thorough inspection every day before you drive. You will save maintenance time later, and the safety checks could help prevent a serious accident. Please remember, too, that Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation 392.7 requires a pre-trip inspection and so do commercial trucking companies.
You are professional mechanic. The purpose of your inspections is to nd anything that might interfere with the safe and efcient transportation of yourself, any passengers, and your load. If you do nd something wrong and cannot x it yourself, have an authorized dealer or qualied mechanic repair your vehicle right away.

Jump starting a vehicle is not a recommended practice due to the various battery installations and electrical options.
However, if (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.
Batteries contain acid that can burn and gasses that can explode. Ignoring safety procedures may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.

WARNING!
WARNING!
Never jump start a battery near re, ames, or electrical sparks. Batteries generate explosive gases that could explode. Keep sparks, ame, and lighted cigarettes away from batteries. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
WARNING!
Never remove or caps. Ignoring this could allow battery acid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or painted surfaces. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.

To Jump Start your Vehicle
WARNING!
When jump starting using a battery booster, it is best to jump start with an equivalently powered vehicle. Ver ify that the booster battery has the same volt and CCA specications as the dead battery before attempting to jump start.

Spring Brakes—Manual Release
Recovering a vehicle requires that you release the parking brakes. There may be times when there is not enough air pressure to release the parking brakes. In such cases, the parking brakes (or Spring Brakes) can be manually released.
WARNING!
Do not drive vehicle with malfunc­tioning brakes. If one of the brake circuits should become inoperative, braking distances will increase sub stantially and handling characteristics while braking will be affected. You could lose control of your vehicle or cause an accident. Have it towed to the nearest dealer or qualied repair facility for repair. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
The brakes can be released in this manner should the pressure in the air system not be enough to release them. This may occur in instances where the engine's air compressor is not able to get the system up to operating pressure.
WARNING!
Do not disassemble a spring brake chamber. These chambers contain a powerful spring that is compressed. Sudden release of this spring may re sult in death or personal injury.
-
WARNING!
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. The brakes may not function. Failure to comply may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.

VEHICLE RECOVERY AND SPRING BRAKES
WARNING!
Always secure the vehicle with wheel chocks, chains, or other safe means to prevent rolling before manually releas ing the spring brakes. Releasing the spring brakes on an unsecured vehicle could lead to an accident. The vehicle could roll, which may result in death, personal injury, equipment or property damage.
To move a vehicle immobilized by the spring brakes due to loss of air pressure in the brake system, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the cap from the spring chamber.
2. Remove the release stud assembly from the side pocket, and remove the release nut and washer from the release

3. Slide out the stud.
4. Insert the release 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.

5. Assemble the release stud washer and nut on the release stud.
6. With a wrench, turn the release stud assembly nut until the compression spring is 90-95 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. (S-Cam type maximum: 50 lb-ft, Wedge type maximum: 30 lb-ft). The spring brake is now mechanically released.

selector from First to Reverse.
Apply light pressure on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission is in gear.
Remove your foot from the
accelerator while shifting.
Do not race the engine.
For best traction and safety, avoid
spinning the wheels.
WARNING!
Do not spin the wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h). Spinning a tire at speedometer readings faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) can be dangerous. Tires can explode from spinning too fast. Under some conditions, a tire may be spinning at a speed twice that shown on the speedometer. Any resulting tire explosion could cause death or personal injury to a bystander or passenger, as well as extensive vehicle damage: including tire, trans mission and/or rear axle malfunction.
Comply with the following instructions to avoid transmission damage:
Always start vehicle in motion with
the shift lever in rst gear.
Be sure that transmission is fully
engaged in gear before releasing the clutch pedal (manual only).
Do not shift into reverse while the
vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle needs to be
recovered from being stuck, do not permit the vehicle to be towed for long distances without removing the driveshaft.

Under certain conditions, somewhat higher temperatures may be acceptable. But the maximum allowable temperature is 210°F (99°C), except for certain special engines. Check your engine manual to be sure.

WARNING!
Do not ignore a warning light or audible alarm. These signals tell you some thing is wrong with your vehicle. It could be a failure in an important sys tem, such as the brakes, which could lead to an accident causing death or injury. Have the appropriate system checked immediately.
Check messages are provided to give the operator additional information regarding systems that require attention due to a system malfunction and/or operating conditions that may hinder safe and proper performance for the vehicle. The system will emit a chime to alert the operator that a message is appearing on the cluster. Some messages can be managed by the operator while others may require an authorized dealer repair.
