INFORMATION FUEL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The following information provides basic precautions
which must be observed if fuel is to be handled safely.
It also outlines the other areas of risk which must not
be ignored.
This information is issued for basic guidance only, and
in any case of doubt, appropriate inquiries should be
made of your local Fire Officer or Fire Department.
Fuel vapour is highly flammable and in confined
spaces is also very explosive and toxic and when
diluted with air becomes a readily ignitable mixture.
The vapour is heavier than air and will always fall to
the lowest level. It can readily be distributed
throughout a workshop by air current, consequently,
even a small spillage of fuel is very dangerous.
Always have a fire extinguisher containingFOAM CO
2
GAS,orPOWDERclose at hand when handling fuel,
or when dismantling fuel systems and in areas where
fuel containers are stored.
WARNING: lt is imperative that the battery
is not disconnected during fuel system
repairs as arcing at the battery terminal
could ignite fuel vapour in the atmosphere.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery BEFORE
carrying out work on the fuel system.
Whenever fuel is being handled, transferred or
stored, or when fuel systems are being dismantled
all forms of ignition must be extinguished or
removed, any lead lamps used must be flame
proof and kept clear of spillage.
No one should be permitted to repair components
associated with fuel without first having had fuel
system training.Hot fuel handling precautions
WARNING: Before commencing any
operation requiring fuel to be drained from
the fuel tank, the following procedure must
be adhered to:
1.Allow sufficient time for the fuel to cool, thus
avoiding contact with hot fuels.
2.Vent the system by removing the fuel filler cap in
a well ventilated area. Refit the filler cap until the
commencement of fuel drainage.
Fuel transfer
WARNING: Fuel must not be extracted or
drained from any vehicle while it is
standing over a pit.
The transfer of fuel from the vehicle fuel tank must be
carried out in a well ventilated area. An approved
transfer tank must be used according to the transfer
tank manufacturer's instructions and local regulations,
including attention to grounding of tanks.
Fuel tank removal
AFUEL VAPOURwarning label must be attached to
the fuel tank upon removal from the vehicle.
Fuel tank repair
Under no circumstances should a repair to any tank
be attempted.

INFORMATION JACKING
The following instructions must be carried out before
raising the vehicle off the ground.
1.Use a solid level ground surface.
2.Apply parking brake.
3.Select 1st gear in main gearbox.
4.Select Low range in transfer gearbox.
CAUTION: To avoid damage occurring to
the under body components of the vehicle
the following jacking procedures must be
adhered to.
DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS
UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS.
Body structure
Bumpers
Fuel lines
Brake lines
Front radius arms
Panhard rod
Steering linkage
Rear Trailing links
Fuel tank
Engine sump
Gearbox bell housing
Jack or support vehicle by axles only.
Vehicle jack
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended to
be used in an emergency, for changing a tyre. Do
NOTuse the jack for any other purpose. Refer to
Owner's Manual for vehicle jack location points and
procedure. Never work under a vehicle supported by
the vehicle jack.
Hydraulic jack
A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg, 3,300 lbs
load capacity must be used, see J6083.
CAUTION: Do not commence work on the
underside of the vehicle until suitable axle
stands have been positioned under the
axle, see J6084.
Raise the front of the vehicle
1.Position cup of hydraulic arm under differential
casing.
NOTE: The differential casing is not
central to the axle. Care should be taken
when raising the front road wheels off the
ground as the rear axle has less sway stiffness.
2.Raise front road wheels to enable an axle stand
to be installed under left hand axle tube.

INFORMATION VEHICLE WEIGHTS AND PAYLOAD
When loading a vehicle to its maximum (Gross Vehicle Weight), consideration must be taken of the unladen
vehicle weight and the distribution of the payload to ensure that axle loadings do not exceed the permitted
maximum values.
It is the customer's responsibility to limit the vehicle's payload in an appropriate manner such that neither
maximum axle loads nor Gross Vehicle Weight are exceeded.

ANTI-FREEZE
PERCENTAGE CONCENTRATION - 50%
PROTECTION - LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT
Complete protection
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold,
-33°C (-36°F).
Safe limit protection
Coolant in semi-frozen state. Engine may be started
and driven away after warm-up period, -41°C (-42°
F).Lower protection
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and
radiator. Thaw out before starting engine, -47°C (-53°
F).
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never
be allowed to fall below 25% (pre 99MY) or
50% (99MY on) otherwise damage to the
engine is liable to occur. Anti-freeze content
should not exceed 60% (all models) as this will
greatly reduce cooling efficiency.
