  • Page 53 A warning plate is mounted on top of the radiator surge tank cover near the radiator cap. The engine cooling system is pressurized. Always turn the key switch OFF and allow the engine to cool before removing the radiator cap. Unless the pressure is first released, removing the radiator cap after the engine has been operating for a time will result in the hot coolant being expelled from the radiator.

It provides the operator or technician with the hydraulic hook-up procedure before towing a disabled truck, by using a functional truck for hydrau- lic power. This warning decal is located below the battery dis- connect switches to warn personnel not to discon- nect the batteries during the first 90 seconds after turning the key switch off.
