MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 341 CAUTION! To maintain your vehicle safely follow these guidelines: • Watch your vehicle's mileage and check your Maintenance Schedules regularly for required servicing. Excessive wear or damage to certain vehicle components can result if required services are not performed. • If you have your vehicle undercoated, inspect for undercoating material on the propeller shafts. Such material could cause the shafts to become unbalanced and result in drivetrain vibrations. Remove any undercoating with solvent. • If you have your vehicle undercoated, make sure no undercoating material is sprayed on the exhaust system or components of the seat belt system. NOTE: It is not possible for the manufacturer and Cummins, Inc. to anticipate every possible circumstance that can involve a potential hazard. WARNING! To maintain your vehicle safely and avoid personal injury, follow these guidelines: • Never spray or pour diesel fuel, flammable liquid or starting fluids (ether) into the air cleaner canister, air intake piping or turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the vehicle. • Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions and be hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel. 7
