How to Use This Manual
This Operator's Manual contains useful information for the

It also provides information on maintaining your vehicle in
the best condition, with an outline for performing safety
checks and basic preventive maintenance inspections.
We have tried to present the information you'll need to
learn about your vehicle's functions, controls, and opera-
tion as clearly as possible. We hope you'll find this manual
easy to use. There will be times when you need to take
this manual out of your Peterbilt vehicle. When you do,
please be sure to return it to the cab when you are fin-
ished using it. That way it will be there when you need it
the next time or when you pass the vehicle on to the next

options mentioned in this manual. Therefore, you should
pay careful attention to the instructions that pertain to just

special equipment or options not discussed in this man-
ual, consult your dealer or the manufacturer of the equip-
ment.
