STARTING & OPERATING
WARNING!
Exhaust fumes from the engine
contain carbon monoxide, a color-
less and odorless gas.
A poorly
maintained, damaged, or corroded
exhaust system can allow car-
bon monoxide to enter the cab or
sleeper.
Failure to properly main-
tain your vehicle could cause car-
bon monoxide to enter the cab and
cause death or personal injury.
WARNING!
Never idle your vehicle for prolonged
periods of time if you sense that ex-
haust fumes are entering the cab.
Investigate the cause of the fumes
and correct it as soon as possible.
If the vehicle must be driven under
these conditions, drive only with the
windows slightly open. Failure to re-
pair the source of the exhaust fumes
may lead to death or personal injury.
CAUTION
The use of a winterfront can result
in excessive engine coolant, oil, and
charge air (intake) temperatures,
which can lead to overheating and
possible engine damage.
If you
must use a winterfront:
• Refer to the Engine Operation
and Maintenance Manual
for operating restrictions and
recommendations.
• Use only a winterfront
available from your dealer
that is compatible with an
EPA-compliant engine cooling
system. These winterfronts are
specifically designed for use with
new grill snap patterns.
NOTE
Keep the engine exhaust system
and the vehicle’s cab/sleeper venti-
lation system properly maintained.
It is recommended that the vehicle’s
exhaust system and cab/sleeper be
inspected:
• By a competent technician every
15,000 miles
• Whenever a change is noticed in
the sound of the exhaust system
• Whenever the exhaust system,
underbody, cab or sleeper is
damaged
