Safety
WARNING
Anytime a tailgate is raised in the shop or
for maintenance, the tailgate must be
supported to prevent the tailgate from
coming down unexpectedly. Never allow
anyone to work around or enter the
tailgate area unless the tailgate is raised
and supported! Failure to follow this
procedure can result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
Do not repair or weld steel or aluminum
water tanks. Inspect the water tank for
rust or corrosion every 30 days. Inspect the
water tank under the straps, on the exterior,
and on the interior by removing the flopper.
If any rust or corrosion is found, replace the
water tank with an OEM water tank from
McNeilus. Failure to maintain water tanks
may result in serious personal injury or
death.

Never place yourself between the tailgate

area.
Failure to engage both tailgate props may
result in serious personal injury or death.
