Engine starting (with parking brake applied)
Air brake check:Check the air brakes in the following manner
(Chock the wheels, if necessary. Push in the
parking brake and on tractors, also push in the
tractor protection valve knob):
1. Check the air compressor or governor
cut-out pressure (approximately 305 kPa [120
psi]).
2. Cut-off the engine and turn the key back to
ON, without starting the engine.
3. Without the brake pedal applied, note the
air pressure drop for one minute. It should be
less than 5 kPa (2 psi) for single vehicle and 8
kPa (3 psi) for combination vehicles.
4. Depress and hold the brake pedal with 621
kPa (90 psi) or more and make sure there is
no more than a 8 kPa (3 psi) per minute leak.
For combination vehicles, no more than 10
kPa (4 psi) per minute.
5. Step on and off the brake pedal and check
for the warning light and chime to activate
between 163-193 kPa (64–76 psi).
6. Step on and off the brake pedal and make
sure the tractor protection and parking brake
knobs pop out between 138–310 kPa (20–45
psi)
7. Restart the engine, shift to a lower gear and
gently pull against the service and parking
brakes separately to make sure they hold.
Automatic
transmission fluid:With the engine idling (at normal operating
temperature) and the parking brake applied,
check the automatic transmission fluid. If fluid
needs to be added, place the transmission in
the appropriate gear as specified in the
transmission operator’s manual and refer to
Transmission fluidin theMaintenance and
specificationschapter.

Front of vehicle
Lights:Make sure all lights illuminate and are clean.
Make sure headlights function on both high
and low beams. Make sure reflectors are clean
and unbroken and of proper color (red on
rear, amber elsewhere). Make sure the running
lights are also clean and unbroken. Rear
running lights must be checked separately
from signal, flasher and brake lights.
Steering gear:Look for: missing or loose fasteners, power
steering fluid leaks and damage to power
steering hoses.
Steering linkage:Make sure connecting links, arms and rods are
not worn or cracked; joints, sockets and boot
seals are not worn or loose and that there are
no loose or missing cotter keys, nuts or bolts.
Tow hooks:Front and rear tow hooks should be inspected
for damage or loose mounting. This is
particularly important on vehicles where tow
hooks are frequently used.
Front suspension
Spring:Check for missing, broken or shifted leaves or
leaves that are in contact, or nearly contacting
a tire, rim, brake drum, frame or body
components.
Spring mount:Check/Inspect spring hangers, bolts, bushings,
axle mounting bolts and nuts for cracks,
breaks, wear, damage, tightness and correct
component quality.
Shock absorber:Check for cracks, leaks and missing or broken
bolts or bushings.
Note:Never apply grease to spring pads.
Do not operate the vehicle if any suspension conditions listed in
theFront suspensionchart are evident. Loss of steering or
suspension could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

Charging system:Illuminates when
the battery is not charging properly.
Wait to start:Indicates the air
intake heater is in operation and
special starting procedures are
required. Refer to theDriving
chapter.
If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use ether or any
other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids (ether) in an
engine equipped with an air intake heater could result in damage
and/or personal injury.
Water in fuel (if equipped):
During refueling it is possible for
water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your fuel tank. Your
vehicle fuel system is equipped with
a fuel filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The indicator
light illuminates when the fuel filter/water separator has a significant
quantity of water, or when the ignition key is switched to the START
position. If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible, shut off the engine and drain the filter
bowl. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in extensive
damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
To drain the fuel filter/water separator (refer toMaintenance and
Specificationschapter for procedure), rotate the valve at the bottom of
the filter assembly allowing water to drain from the system. Close the
valve upon completion.
Do not drain water separator while engine is running. Fuel may
ignite if separator is drained while engine is running or vehicle is
moving.

•Operate in a gear that will permit an engine speed not in excess of the
maximum governed speed or high-idle RPM (no load).
All vehicles have blind spots. To reduce the risk of severe injury
or property damage, never move your vehicle to the side or rear
or change lanes without being sure your way is clear on both sides and
to your rear.
Backing up
To reduce the risk of the possibility of personal injury while
backing the vehicle, always be sure your vehicle’s path is clear.
Before backing your vehicle, be sure you can do so safely. If anything
behind the cab limits your view, do not rely on mirrors alone to assure
that your intended path is clear. If other people are in the vicinity, have
someone standing well behind your vehicle and outside of your intended
path (visible through an exterior mirror) guide you as you back up.
Although OSHA or some governmental regulations may require the use
of an electrical or mechanical back-up alarm to warn bystanders, such an
alarm does not assure that the intended path is clear.
If an electrical back-up alarm is installed, it should be connected to the
back-up lamp circuit.
Parking your vehicle
Always use the parking brake. When parking on a grade, block the
wheels and turn the front wheels to one side.
When parking your vehicle, do not leave the transmission in
gear; if the key is in the ON position and the vehicle rolls, then
engine could start. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
an unattended vehicle moving, possibly causing personal injury or
property damage.
