INTRODUCTION
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Labels
Safety Certification Label
National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration (NHTSA and Transport
Canada) regulations require afxing a
certication label to all vehicles.
The regulations also require that the
certication label be afxed to either the
hinge pillar, door latch post or the door
edge that meets the door latch post next
to the driver seat. If none of these
locations are practical, it may be
attached to the left side of the
instrument panel or to an inward facing
surface of the driver-side door.
Your vehicle has a safety certication
label afxed in one of the approved
locations listed above. This label may be
either an Incomplete Vehicle or
Completed Vehicle label. Both labels are
described below.
Incomplete Vehicles
A chassis-cab is an incomplete vehicle
with a completed occupant
compartment that requires the addition
of cargo-carrying, work-performing or
load-bearing components to perform its
intended functions.
When the vehicle is completed the
chassis-cab manufacturer must afx a
nal stage manufacturer certication
label to the complete vehicle in one of
the approved locations listed above.
This label indicates that the chassis cab
was completed and complies with the
applicable Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (MVSS). This label is required
to contain the same information as
shown below for a completed vehicle.
Completed Vehicles
In addition to the label supplied by
MACK as the chassis-cab manufacturer,
a Completed Vehicle certication label,
supplied by the body manufacturer, is
afxed in the same general location. This
label provides information pertaining to
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), tire
and rim information, etc.
On completed vehicles, this label
contains the date of manufacture, VIN,
GVWR, GAWR, and tire and rim data. It
is found in one of the approved locations
listed above.
Advisory Labels
Throughout this book you will nd
paragraphs labeled Danger, Warning,
Caution, Note and Service Hint. Danger,
Caution and Warning labels are also
found in various locations on the vehicle
to alert drivers, operators and service
technicians to situations which can
cause personal injury or equipment
damage. The labels shown are
applicable to the truck model chassis at
the time of publication and are
representative of what can be typically
found on your vehicle. Your vehicle may
not contain all of the labels illustrated in
this handbook. These labels are for your
benet. Please look through this section
and note the labels, their locations and
what they explain. Be sure to replace
any label that is damaged.
