OM2209 Warnings and Cautions - Section 22 Page 22-5 A plate is located next to filler cap on fuel cap which specifies diesel fuel only. Refer to the Engine Opera- tion and Maintenance Manual. Attached to the interior of battery box lid is a danger plate. This plate stresses the need to keep from mak- ing any sparks near the battery. When another bat- tery or 24VDC power source is used for auxiliary power, all switches must be OFF prior to making any connections. When connecting auxiliary power cables, positively maintain correct polarity; connect the positive (+) leads together and then connect the negative (-) lead of the auxiliary power cable to a good frame ground.
Do not connect to the negative post of the truck battery or near the battery box. This hookup completes the circuit but minimizes danger of sparks near the batteries. Sulfuric acid is corrosive and toxic. Use proper safety gear, goggles, rubber gloves and rubber apron when handling and servic- ing batteries. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or cloth- ing. In event of accident, immediately flush with plenty of water and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN! These decals are placed on the top of the battery box and near the battery disconnect switches to indicate that the battery system (24VDC) is a negative (-) ground system.
This decal is placed above the bat- tery disconnect switches on the right side of the bat- tery box to indicate OFF and ON positions of the switches. A caution plate is located on the side of the battery box. These instructions must be followed when welding is done on the truck to avoid damage to the electronic components.
