Hazard Warning Lights
The hazard warning light switch is located on the
dash in what is referred to as the master module.
See
Fig. 24.1 . The hazard lights can be activated
regardless of the ignition switch position.
To activate the hazard lights, push the center of the
switch once. The switch will blink at the same rate
that the hazard lights flash. Push the switch again to
turn them off. All the turn signal lights on the vehicle
and trailer, as well as the turn signal indicators in the
ICU, flash simultaneously when the hazard lights are
activated.
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is located either in the cab by the
driver’s door, or in the baggage compartment.
Emergency Kit, Optional
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.
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.
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.
Emergency Filter
Replacement, Davco
If the filter cover on the Davco fuel/water separator is
broken, it will not be possible to operate the vehicle.
A standard spin-on filter will correct this problem.
Refer to the Davco web site ( www.davcotec.com )
for additional information.
To replace the filter on all Davco fuel/water separa-
tors, follow this procedure:
1. Drain the fuel until it is below the level of the col-
lar. See
Fig. 24.2 for the model 232/233 fuel/
water separator and Fig. 24.3 for the model 382
fuel/water separator.
2. Remove the vent and seal.
NOTE: The vent and seal are not needed in the
emergency replacement. They should be re-
tained for later installation at the time when the
cover is replaced.
3. Remove the collar using the DAVCO fuel-water
separator wrench. Do not use pliers or channel-
lock pliers.
4.
Remove the cover, cover seal, and spring. Re-
tain them for later assembly.
5.
Remove the filter element and dispose of it prop-
erly.
NOTE: Remove the rubber grommet from the
stud.
6. Install the standard engine spin-on filter (included
in the emergency kit) on the threaded stud.
7. Install the cover, cover seal, and spring, as re-
moved.
8. Install the collar over the cover. Tighten the collar
finger-tight.
9. Start the engine and run it at increased rpm for
one minute to purge air from the fuel lines.
