2 INTRODUCTION
INFORMATION FOR THE OWNER
If there are questions on the maintenance and performance of your vehicle, please
discuss them with your Volvo Truck dealer. Your authorized dealer is required to
have trained mechanics, special tools and spare parts to fully service your vehicle. If
necessary, your dealer will contact the manufacturer for any assistance.
In addition to this operators manual, there may be additional instruction/operators
manuals supplied by component manufacturers. These manuals are placed in the
Owner’s Package and placed in the cab. Be sure to read all the manuals thoroughly
before operating the vehicle.
Various safety labels may be placed about the components by the component
manufacturer. Be sure to read and follow these labels to prevent damage to the
vehicle, personal injury or death.
Information in this manual refers to Volvo components and Volvo drivetrain. There is
also certain information regarding the Cummins engine. For detailed information on
the Cummins engine or non-Volvo engines and/or drivetrains, contact the respective
manufacturer.
Establish a Preventive Maintenance Program with the help of your local Volvo Truck
dealer. A Preventive Maintenance Program makes it possible to maximize the amount
of time your vehicle is up and running, resulting in longer component life. This makes
for a safer vehicle by reducing any mechanical failures due to poor maintenance
practices.
Various truck warranty coverage plans, contingent on application and weight class,
are available. Please contact an authorized Volvo Truck dealer for complete details.
Replacement warranty certificates for Volvo Trucks are available from authorized
Volvo dealers.
For trucks placed in service after October, 2002 and operating in the USA, Mexico and
Canada, Volvo dealers can order copies of the Standard Truck Warranty Certificate
and the Premium (Purchased) Truck Coverage Certificate. Warranty Certificate copies
and Operator Manuals are available in either English, Spanish or French. Contact your
authorized Volvo Truck dealer for more information.
Note: Federal law requires manufacturers to notify owners of its products in the event
of a non-compliance to a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or if a safety-related
defect is discovered. If you are not the original owner of this vehicle, please notify us
about the change in ownership at the address below or through an authorized Volvo
Truck dealer. This is the only way we will be able to contact you if necessary.
