Safety Information

DO NOT service any part of the fuel system while smoking or in the
presence of flames, sparks or hot surfaces. Failure to follow these
precautions can result in fire, which can cause serious injury or death.

DO NOT store fuel containers in the vehicle. They may leak, explode and
cause or feed a fire. Empty or full, they present a hazard that may lead to
burns in the event of a fire.

The engine should not be operated in an area where combustible gases are
suspected to be in the air. These could be drawn into the engine through the
engine air intake system and could cause the engine to over speed with
possible serious damage to the engine and bodily injury or property damage.

Make provisions for shutting off the engine intake air or fuel supply to stop the
engine if there is an over speed on start-up after performing repair or
maintenance on it.

Contact your nearest Volvo Truck dealer for any necessary air conditioning
testing or repairs.

All fuels, most lubricants and some coolant mixtures are flammable. Diesel
fuel is flammable. Gasoline is flammable. The mixture of diesel and gasoline
fumes is extremely explosive. DO NOT smoke while refueling or when in a
refueling area.

Keep all fuels and lubricants stored in properly marked containers and away
from all unauthorized personnel. Store oily rags or other flammable material
in a protective container, in a safe place.

Remove all flammable material such as fuel, oil and other substances before
they accumulate on the engine.
