Operating the Truck
PARKING
When parking the machine overnight, or for an extended period, the following
procedure in addition to that given in 'Stopping the Engine' will help maintain it in
good condition for subsequent use:
1. Fill the fuel tank completely, to prevent condensation. If security kit is
supplied, keep it locked.
2. Always park the machine on level ground where possible. If the
machine must be parked on a grade, position the machine at right
angles to the grade and block the wheels securely.
3. If below freezing temperatures are expected, make sure the cooling
system has sufficient anti-freeze to prevent the coolant freezing.If
anti-freeze cannot be added to the cooling system, drain the cooling
system completely.
4. Check all tyres, hoses, wiring, tubing and fittings for cuts, ply separation,
abrasion, fraying, or other damage or deterioration. Inspect for structural
damage to the cab, body and chassis. Attach warning signs to the
steering wheel or to a control to alert others if lubricant has been drained,
batteries removed, etc.
