of

The
later sections
of

are
devoted
to
maintenance
and
truck specifications.
Take time

the
"Know Your Truck" section.
By

a

basic understanding
of
your

and how
they
function,
you are
better prepared
to

it
both

essential information
for
correct
servicing
and
periodic maintenance
of
your truck;
including
charts with
recommended maintenance intervals
and
component
capacities. Care-
fully follow these instructions
and
procedures.
Each
major
section
has its own
table
of
contents,
so
that
you can
find
the
various topics more easily.
If you
cannot find
a
topic
in the
table
of
contents, check

index
at
the
back
of the
