General Safety Information

Operating the Vehicle
Every vehicle, including heavy duty vehi-
cles, has blind spots. The size of blind
spots varies from driver to driver and from
situation to situation. As a skilled, profes- Never try to operate or work on this

drivers under most conditions and in most
applications.

However, due to differences in the size of

drivers, their seating positions, the way that
they use and operate their vehicles, per-
sonal preferences and other factors, no
combination of mirrors and other visibility
enhancement devices will eliminate all
blind spots in every situation.

The safe operation of this vehicle is up to

you. Because of your special preferences,
needs and circumstances, you may want to
add extra mirrors and/or other visibility en-
hancement devices. If so, you should
contact an authorized Volvo Truck dealer to
obtain those parts which best fit your own
personal needs and preferences.

WARNING
All items within the cab must be secured
before the vehicle is set in motion. This
includes, but is not limited to, drinks,
clothes, books, televisions, etc. In the
event of a collision, loose items could
fly around inside the cab. This could
cause personal injury.
4 General Information

Operating In Bobtail Mode

Tractors are equipped with a bobtail air
brake proportioning valve which automati-
cally redistributes the braking force between
front and rear axles when not hooked up to
a semitrailer (bobtail operation).

When operating in bobtail mode, the rear

brake chambers receive reduced or propor-
tional brake air pressure. When the tractor
is towing a trailer, the rear brake chambers
will receive full (normal) brake pressure.

NOTE! When operating bobtail, be certain

that glad hands, trailer air hoses, electrical
cable and connectors are properly stowed
and secure. Do not allow them to rub or
chafe on other components.

WARNING
When operating bobtail, the brake
system on the vehicle reduces the possi-
bility of rear wheel brake lockup, except
on full pedal application. When bobtail-
ing, be certain that adequate pedal
pressure is applied. There is no need to
reduce pedal effort. Failure to do so may
result in increased stopping distances.
 General Information 5

Do Not Overload
This vehicle has been designed and assem-
bled for a maximum gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR) and a maximum front and
rear axle weights rating (FAWR and
RAWR). The actual rating for this vehicle
can be found on the label attached to the
door frame on the driver’s side. If any of
these three ratings is exceeded and over-
loading occurs, instability, poor handling,
failure of parts and accelerated wear can
occur.

Under no circumstances should the pub-

lished GVWR, FAWR, and/or RAWR be
exceeded. Failure to observe these pre-
cautions can lead to the loss of vehicle
control, resulting in a crash causing seri-
ous personal injury or death.

W0001210

Do not exceed the load rating of the

tires or the vehicle weight ratings. Over-
loading may result in tire failure causing
loss of vehicle control, leading to an ac-
cident resulting in severe personal injury
or death.

Operating
Before driving this vehicle, locate the in-
struments and controls, and become
thoroughly familiar with their operation.
After starting and when driving, always
check to make sure that the instrument
readings are normal.

Modifications to Vehicle
Chassis Frame
Frame side rails are heat treated. No weld-
ing is permitted because structural failure
may result. Do not drill through either top
or bottom flanges. A warning label is also
attached to the frame for information.
Drilling is permitted in the frame web in
accordance with a specified hole spacing
pattern. Consult a Volvo Truck dealer to
obtain approved hole spacing dimensions or
refer to the Frame Rail and Cross Member W7000519
Service Manual.

Frame rail and cross member nuts and bolts WARNING

should be checked periodically and tight-
ened to the specified torque if necessary. Do not weld on any part of the frame or
drill holes in the top or bottom flanges.
Serious structural damage could occur.

Frame Alterations
Under no circumstances can the frame be
cut and an extension piece added to in-
crease the wheelbase. The only alteration
allowed is wheel base shortening, where
the only change in the frame rail is a new
hole pattern drilled for the new location of
the rear suspension.

Welding In Vehicle
Do not weld anywhere in or on the vehicle
before disconnecting batteries, all electronic
control units (ECU) and instrument cluster.
See page 298 for more information. Do not
use oxy/acetylene welding to repair cab
panels. Refer to the service manuals for
specific information.

ing genuine Volvo parts, and the engine is certified as being in conformity with Federal
and California emission control regulations. Accordingly, it is recommended that any re-
placement parts used for maintenance, replacement or repair without invalidating this
warranty; the cost of such services or or parts, however, will not be covered under the war-
ranty except in an emergency situation. A part not being available or a repair not being

lent to genuine Volvo parts. However, the use of other than Volvo replacement parts does

repairs (including diagnosis) not to exceed Volvo Trucks North America, Inc’s suggested

dealer for reimbursement.
