SAFETY INFORMATION 15 ADVISORY LABELS Throughout this book you will find paragraphs labeled Danger, Warning, Caution, Note and Service Hint. Danger, Caution and Warning labels are also found in various locations on the vehicle to alert drivers, operators and service technicians to situations which can cause personal injury or equipment damage. The labels shown are applicable to the MACK® model chassis at the time of publication and are representative of what can be typically found on a MACK® model. (Your vehicle may not contain all of the labels illustrated in this handbook, or may be located in different locations depending on build specification.) These labels are for your benefit.
Please look through this section and note the labels, their locations and what they explain. Be sure to replace any label that is damaged. DANGER Engine-driven components such as Power Take-Off (PTO) units, fans and fan belts, driveshafts and other related rotating assemblies, can be very dangerous. Do not service engine-driven components unless the engine is shut down. Always keep body parts and loose clothing out of range of these powerful components to prevent serious personal injury. Be aware of PTO engagement or nonengagement status. Always disengage the PTO when not in use. WARNING Secure loose objects.
Loose objects in the cab or sleeper can be dangerous in a sudden stop or on bad roads. Secure any appliance added to the vehicle, such as a refrigerator or a radio. WARNING Keep clear of fan when engine is running. Fan may start to rotate at high speed without warning.
