Brake Safety Information
Do not inspect or adjust parts or compo-
nents in the brake system without setting
the parking brake, placing the transmis-
sion in neutral and securely chocking the
wheels. If the vehicle is not secured to
prevent uncontrolled vehicle movement,
it could roll and cause severe personal
injury or death.
Do not use replacement parts anywhere
in the brake system unless it conforms
exactly to original specifications. A non-
conforming part in your vehicle’s brake
system could cause a malfunction, lead-
ing to loss of control of the vehicle
resulting in severe personal injury or
death.
Do not ride the brakes going down steep
hills. The brakes could overheat and lose
their effectiveness. Always choose a low
gear before going down the grade and
reduce speed to help control vehicle
speed. Losing the brakes going downhill
can lead to an accident causing serious
personal injury or death.
Do not operate the vehicle when there is
a malfunction in the compressed air sys-
tem. An air brake system with leaks or
other malfunctions may prevent the
brake system from operating properly.
The vehicle should not be operated until
the system is repaired and all brake cir-
cuits are working properly. Failure to
repair the system can lead to loss of
control of the vehicle resulting in severe
personal injury or death.
The brake system is a critical vehicle
safety system. For your safety and for
those around you, follow the recom-
mended preventive maintenance checks.
If any problems occur, have them inves-
tigated immediately by an authorized
service facility. Failure to properly main-
tain the brake system can result in
compromised brake efficiency and may
lead to loss of control of the vehicle re-
sulting in severe personal injury or death.
Do not drive through deep water. The
brake system can be affected so the
braking efficiency is less or the brakes
pull the vehicle to the side. This could
lead to an accident leading to serious
personal injury or death.
