INSTRUMENT PANEL
Please refer to Low Air Alarm Turns
On on page 2-3 for instructions on
what to do if the air system becomes
inoperative.
NOTE
Be sure the air pressure registers
more than 100 psi (690 kPa) in both
service systems before you move
the vehicle.
NOTE
If the pressure in either or both cir-
cuits falls below 65 psi (448 kPa),
a red warning light in the gauge will
turn on and an audible alarm tone
will sound when the engine is run-
ning.
WARNING!
If the air pressure falls below 60 psi
(414 kPa), the spring brakes may
stop the vehicle abruptly which could
cause an accident resulting in death
or personal injury. Observe the red
warning lamps on the gauges. If one
comes on, do not continue to drive
the vehicle until it has been properly
repaired or serviced. If the light and
alarm do not turn off at start-up, do
not try to drive the vehicle until the
problem is found and fixed.
WARNING!
The air pressure warning light and
the audible alarm tone indicate a
dangerous situation:
there is not
enough air pressure in the air tanks
for repeated braking and the brake
system has failed. Without the use
of your service brakes your spring
brakes could suddenly apply caus-
ing a wheel lock-up, loss of control,
or over-take by following vehicles.
This may cause an accident result-
ing in death or personal injury. Bring
the vehicle to a safe stop right away,
while you still have control of the
vehicle.
