Unloading and Preparing a New Truck for Operation
When unloading a new truck, it may be nec-
essary or desirable to tow the truck from the
delivery vehicle. In this case, the hydraulic
brake system must be manually pressurized
to release the brakes and allow the truck to
roll. See "Towing the Truck".
Before placing a new truck into service, per-
form the Daily Maintenance Inspection as
found in the Maintenance section.
The truck can then be operated at full speed
immediately upon being placed in service.
However, during the first 50 operating hours,
avoid subjecting the engine or hydraulic sys-
tem to high continuous loads.
WARNING
Wheel mounting hardware sometimes requires sev-
eral cycles of tightening before it fully seats. For this
reason, wheel mounting screws or nuts will often
work loose in the period immediately following initial
tightening.
When placing a new truck into service, the wheel
mounting screws or nuts must be checked for tight-
ness every 10 hours until no further loosening is de-
tected. See the procedure for checking wheels and
tires in the Maintenance section.
