Hazard Warning Lights
The hazard warning light switch tab is located on the
turn signal control lever. See
Fig. 21.1 . To operate
the hazard lights, pull the tab out. All of the turn sig-
nal lights and both of the indicator lights on the con-
trol panel will flash.
To cancel the hazard warning lights, push the turn
signal control lever either up or down, then return the
lever to its neutral position.
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 may be located in the cab.
The package includes one or more of each of the
following: first aid kit, a reflective vest, and a triangu-
lar reflector and flare kit.
If there is an emergency while driving, cautiously pull
off the road, paying attention to other traffic. Turn on
the hazard warning lights. Place the flares and reflec-
tor 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 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. 21.2 , Item 14) and
open the drain valve ( Fig. 21.2 , Item 1) to drain
the fuel to just below the collar level, then close
the drain valve.
4.
Using a DAVCO collar wrench ( Fig. 21.3 ), re-
move the clear cover and collar.
NOTE: Broken vent cap and collar warranty
claims will not be accepted if any tool other than
a DAVCO collar wrench, p/n 380134 or 382002,
is used for removal. During installation, the vent
cap and collar are to be
hand-tightened only ,
not tightened with a wrench.
