Hazard Warning Lights
The hazard warning light flasher ( Fig. 24.1 ) is part of
the multifunction turn signal switch. It is a red rocker
switch located on the top of the multifunction switch
module.
To activate the hazard warning lights, press down on
the upper part of the rocker (pushing towards the
dash). To deactivate the hazard warning lights, press
down on the lower part of the rocker (towards the
steering wheel).
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is located in the cab by the
driver’s door.
Emergency Kit
An optional emergency kit is located in the cab. The
kit includes one or more of the following: a first aid
kit, a reflective vest, a triangular reflector, a flare kit,
and (on vehicles with a DAVCO fuel/water separator)
a spin-on fuel filter element.
WARNING
Use extreme care when placing flares in emer-
gency situations that involve exposure to flam-
mable substances such as fuel. An explosion or
fire could occur causing serious personal injury.
If there is an emergency while driving, cautiously pull
off the road. Turn on the hazard warning lights. Place
the flares and reflector along the side of the road to
alert other drivers that an emergency situation exists.
Emergency Filter
Replacement, DAVCO
If the filter cover on the DAVCO fuel/water separator
is broken, it will not be possible to operate the ve-
hicle. A standard spin-on filter will correct this prob-
lem.
Refer to the DAVCO web site for additional informa-
tion,
www.davcotec.com .
WARNING
Fluid circulated through the fuel/water separator
to heat the fuel may be diesel fuel returned from
the engine, or engine coolant. Drain the fuel/
water separator only when the engine and fluids
have cooled. Draining it when the engine is hot
could cause severe personal injury due to scald-
ing.
If returning fuel is released into the atmosphere,
its vapors can ignite in the presence of any igni-
tion source. Do not expose the fuel to, or work
with the fuel system near, open flame or intense
heat. To do so could cause fire, possibly result-
ing in serious personal injury or property dam-
age.
1. Shut down the engine, apply the parking brake,
and chock the tires.
2. Put a clean receptacle under the fuel/water sepa-
rator and attach a piece of hose to the drain
valve, to direct fuel into the receptacle.
NOTE: The drain valve on the Fuel Pro 382 has
a 1/2-inch (12.7-mm) opening; use a hose with
a 1/2-inch pipe thread to fit correctly.
3. Remove the vent cap ( Fig. 24.2 , Item 4) and
open the drain valve ( Fig. 24.2 , Item 1) to drain
the fuel to just below the collar level, then close
the drain valve.
4. Using a DAVCO collar wrench ( Fig. 24.3 ), re-
move the clear cover and collar.
