CAUTION SUMMARY PERSONAL INJURY LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. To avoid injury from loss of vehicle control, do not activate the Engine Brake system under the following conditions: Always start and operate an engine in a well ventilated area. On wet or slippery pavement, unless the vehicle is equipped with ABS (anti-lock braking system) and you have had prior experience driving under these conditions. If operating an engine in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system or emission control system.
When driving without a trailer (bobtailing) or pulling an empty trailer. If the tractor drive wheels begin to lock or there is fishtail motion after the Engine Brake is activated, deactivate the brake system immediately if this occurs. 4 All information subject to change without notice.
