34 Safety Information
Climbing Up and Down
Always have three limbs (one foot and two hands or two feet and one hand)
in contact with the vehicle at all times when entering or exiting the cab or
the area behind the cab. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious
personal injury or death.
DO NOT climb up on or jump off from the engine or stand on components
that cannot support your weight. Use an adequate ladder or scaffolding,
suitably situated.
DO NOT use top of engine or cowling ledge as foothold when reaching on top
of cab. Clean steps, handholds and areas of the vehicle on which you will be
working or are around. Refer to the Operator's Manual for proper entry and
exit procedures.
Always use a three-point stance (two hands and one foot or one hand and
two feet) whenever climbing up or down.
ENGINE DAMAGE PREVENTION
Before Starting the Engine
Before working on a vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the transmission
in neutral and chock the wheels. Failure to do so can result in unexpected
vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death.
Inspect engine for potential hazards. Make sure all protective guards and
covers are properly installed if an engine needs to be started to make
adjustments or checks. To help prevent an accident by moving parts, work
carefully around them.
DO NOT disable or bypass automatic alarm/shutoff circuits. They are
provided to prevent personal injury and engine damage.
Only properly trained and authorized Volvo Service Technicians may attempt
repairs on this vehicle.
