DIESEL DIESEL ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS • The Cummins® turbocharged diesel engine does not require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal operation is allowed, providing the following recommendations are followed: • Warm up the engine before placing it under load. • Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged periods. • Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent engine lugging. • Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indicators.
DIESEL Cold Start Procedure • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If the Wait To Start in the cluster, wait for the light to turn off before starting. light appears • In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it may be beneficial to cycle the manifold heaters twice before attempting to start the engine. This can be accomplished by turning the ignition OFF for at least five seconds and then back ON after the “Wait To Start Light” has turned off, but before the engine is started.
DIESEL CAUTION! Use of aftermarket exhaust brakes is not recommended and could lead to engine damage. WARNING! Do not use the exhaust brake feature when driving in icy or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle control, which may cause a collision possibly resulting in personal injury or death.
DIESEL ENGINE MOUNTED FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR Draining Fuel/Water Separator • If the “Water in Fuel” indicator light is illuminated and an audible chime is heard five times, you should stop the engine and drain the water from the separator. • The drain is located on the bottom of the Fuel Filter and Water Separator assembly which is located on the driver's side of the engine.
DIESEL CAUTION! • Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an appropriate container. • Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter. There is a possibility debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this action. It is best to install the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to prime the fuel system.
DIESEL NOTE: • Using a fuel filter that does not meet the manufacturer's filtration and water separating requirements can severely impact fuel system life and reliability. • The WIF sensor is re-usable. Service kit comes with new o-ring for filter canister and WIF sensor. CAUTION! • Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an appropriate container. • Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter.

DIESEL DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID • Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by the name of its active component, UREA—is a key component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations. DEF is a liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a catalyst to convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
DIESEL Diesel Exhaust Fluid Storage • Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is considered a very stable product with a long shelf life. If DEF is kept in temperatures between 10° to 90°F (-12° to 32°C), it will last a minimum of one year. • DEF is subject to freezing at the lowest temperatures. For example, DEF may freeze at temperatures at or below 12° F (-11° C). The system has been designed to operate in this environment.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 3. When changing the front wheel, assemble the jack drive tube to the jack and connect the drive tube to the extension tube. Place the jack under the axle as close to the tire as possible with the drive tubes extending to the front. Connect the jack tube extension and wheel wrench. When changing a rear wheel, assemble the jack drive tube to the jack and connect the drive tube to the extension tube.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the jack will not lower by turning the dial (thumbwheel) by hand, it may be necessary to use the jack drive tube in order to lower the jack. Stow the replaced tire, jack, and tools as previously described. 9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible. NOTE: Do not oil wheel studs. For chrome wheels, do not substitute with chrome plated wheel nuts.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Dual wheel models require a special heavy-duty lug nut tightening adapter (included with the vehicle) to correctly tighten the lug nuts. Also, when it is necessary to remove and install dual rear wheels, use a proper vehicle lifting device.
