WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its
constituents are known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive
harm.
Battery posts, terminals and other related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer and other reproductive harm.
Batteries also contain other chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer.
Wash hands after handling.
DANGER
Make sure that electrical current or air pressure is
removed before performing any work. A part may
be energized even if the ignition switch is OFF. A
part may be under pressure even if all tanks are
empty. Before performing any work on the vehicle,
refer to wiring diagrams and/or air schematics to
thoroughly understand the system.
NOTE
When the ignition switch is set to the OFF position,
the electrical components are not energized except
for the MCM (Master Chassis Module), the battery
equalizer, the preheater system and some
electronic modules; which are energized during 15
minutes after the ignition has been set to the OFF
position. Prior to working on one of these electrical
components, set the battery master switch in the
main power compartment to the OFF position. If
the vehicle will not be operated for a long period
(more than 2 weeks), it is recommended, in order
to prevent the batteries from discharging, to trip the
main circuit breakers located in the main power
compartment to stop the small current drawn by
the radio preset station memory, the MCM memory
and the instrument cluster clock. Note that the
radio station presets will be erased, same thing for
the diagnostic codes history and the instrument
cluster clock will have to be reset.
CAUTION
PRECAUTIONS ARE TO BE OBSERVED
BEFORE WELDING TO MINIMIZE THE RISK
