OM2231 Safety - Section 22
Warnings and Cautions Page 22-7
A warning plate is located above the hydraulic sys-
tem (APU) quick disconnect fittings in front of the
hydraulic tank. The plate provides instructions to the
operator or technician for towing a disabled truck.
This plate specifies the requirements for an auxiliary
source of supply for hydraulic oil and the proper
hook-up.
Ensure the steering and brake systems are operating
properly before towing the truck.
A wheel motor oil level decal is attached to the gear
cover on both the electric wheel motors. This decal
stresses that the truck must be on a level surface and
parked for 20 minutes prior to checking the oil level.
This is necessary in order to get an accurate reading.
This plate is located on the battery equalizer box.
After the key switch is turned OFF, allow at least 90
seconds of time to pass before opening (disconnect-
ing) the battery disconnect switch. This time period
allows hydraulic pressure to be released from the
steering accumulators.
This plate is located on the battery equalizer box.
When the battery disconnect lever is in the left-hand
position, it disconnects power (opens the circuit) from
the batteries to the truck. When the lever is in the
right-hand position, it connects (closes the circuit)
from the batteries to the truck.
Warning decals are applied to both brake accumula-
tors located inside the brake system cabinet behind
the operator cab. These decals remind servicing
technicians to close the accumulator drain valves
after they have been opened to bleed brake pres-
sure. It further warns not to over-tighten the drain
valves to prevent damage to the valve seat(s).
