Warnings and Cautions
A plate is mounted on the left hand side of the trans-
mission oil pan to provide instructions for proper trans-
mission oil level check.
1. Engine Stopped:
• Oil level must be visible in upper part of sight gauge
(STOP) between "H" and "L" to be sure there is
sufficient oil to safely operate transmission when
engine is stopped, or if transmission oil is cold
(engine has been stopped for 8 hours or more).
Check oil level again, as described below, when
transmission oil reaches operating temperature.
2. Engine Running:
• Oil level must be visible in lower part of sight gauge
(turtle) between "H" and "L".
Check transmission oil level with:
• truck parked on level surface,
• engine running at low idle,
• transmission in neutral, "N", and
• transmission oil at normal operating temperature:
Add clean oil as required through transmission oil
filler tube at left rear of transmission.

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 radiator cap. Unless the pressure is
first released, removing the radiator cap after the en-
gine has been running for a time will result in the hot
coolant being expelled from the radiator.
Serious scalding and burning can result.
Service personnel should use caution when serv-
icing radiator. The system is pressurized because
of thermal expansion of coolant. ''DO NOT'' remove
radiator cap while engine is hot. Severe burns may
result.
