Safety Information 29
Speed Restrictive Tires
Operating a vehicle equipped with speed restrictive tires in excess of their
stated rating may result in tread separation and/or blowout resulting in the
loss of steering control and possible collision. Serious personal injury or
death could occur. Always maintain proper air pressure and never exceed
the tire ratings.
When a vehicle is equipped with speed restrictive tires, DO NOT operate the
vehicle in excess of the indicated speeds. If your vehicle is equipped with such
tires, the speed restrictions will be stated on the sidewall of the tires. The
operator of this vehicle is urged to check the tires of the vehicle to determine if
there are any limitations.
Fire or Explosion Prevention
The diesel engine will operate on any fuel which enters the cylinder,
whether it is from the injectors or from the air intake system. Therefore, if
any solvent is used to flush out the air cleaner element, the engine may over
speed during start-up. Engine damage and severe injury and/or death from
burns or explosion can occur.
Excessive heat may cause the pressurized components of the air conditioned
system to explode. Some mixtures of R134a refrigerant can become
combustible at elevated pressures. Never weld, solder, steam clean or use a
gas torch near any part of the air conditioning system. Severe injury or
death may occur from an explosion.
