ROADING
WARNING
These machines are equipped with cylinders containing compressed
nitrogen gas. Transportation of these machines by any method may
require a special permit from the appropriate authority of the country
involved. Consult your Dealer for details.
General
'ROADING' (operating a truck over public highways) requires special care and
attention. Trucks, because of their large size, are slower and less manoeuvrable
than most other vehicles encountered on the road. Yet, while on the road, they
must be operated for extended periods of time at, or near, maximum speeds.
Before 'ROADING' a truck for an extended distance between jobs, or between
widely scattered sections of a job, the vehicle must be properly equipped and in
good condition. It is also recommended to carry a 'Warning Triangle'.
The operator must use extra care while on the public highways and remain
constantly alert, especially for overhead cables and low bridges.
Necessary permits must be obtained from the proper authorities before the
vehicle is 'ROADED' on public highways.
Preparation Prior to Roading
Lubrication
Thoroughly lubricate and service all components and systems as described
under 'LUBRICATION AND SERVICING' in this handbook and/or service
manuals for this vehicle.
Note: Make sure the body control
lever is in the 'FLOAT' position.
Failure to comply to this could
result in overheating the hydraulic
oil and failure of the hydraulic
system components.
Note: Make sure the differential
lock switch remains in the 'OFF'
position when roading. Failure to
comply to this could result in
damage to the transmission and
axle components.
