NOTICE
Failure to protect the frame rails from the chains
could cause damage, leading to eventual frame
failure.
4. On dual drive axles, using protection to keep the
chains from damaging the vehicle frame, chain
the forward-rear drive axle to the frame.
5. Attach the towing device.
NOTE: Due to the many variables that exist in
towing, positioning the lifting and towing device
is the sole responsibility of the towing-vehicle
operator.
6.
Lift the vehicle and secure the safety chains. If
extra clearance is needed, remove the bumper
extension if equipped.
7. Connect the clearance lights, taillights, and sig-
nal lights. Also connect any special towing lights
required by local regulations.
Fire in the Cab
The incidence of fire in heavy- and medium-duty
trucks is rare. Federal regulations limit the flammabil-
ity of specified materials used inside the cab, but de-
spite this, most materials will burn. The cab of this
vehicle contains urethane foam, which is of concern
in this respect.
WARNING
Urethane foam is flammable! Do not allow any
flames, sparks, or other heat sources such as
cigarettes or light bulbs to contact urethane
foam. Urethane foam in contact with such heat
sources could cause a serious, rapid fire, which
could result in death, severe burns, or gas poi-
soning, as well as damage to the vehicle.
In Case of a Cab Fire
As quickly as possible, bring the vehicle to a safe
stop, apply the parking brake, turn off the ignition,
and get out of the vehicle.
