Inline fuses
Your vehicle may have several inline fuses located in/on the battery
cables located in the battery box depending on application.
•All Allison transmission equipped vehicles have a 10 Amp fuse located
in the clean power cables located in the battery box.
•All vehicles have a 30 Amp fused located in the clean power cables
located in the battery box.
•All vehicles equipped with an Eaton transmission have a 30 Amp fuse
located in the clean power cables located in the battery box.
•All Hydraulic brake equipped vehicles have a 40 Amp fuse located in
the clean power cables located in the battery box and in addition
another 30 Amp fuse located in a fuse holder just above the power
distribution center located in the vehicles engine compartment.
JUMP STARTING
WARNING:The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle damage.
WARNING:Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin,
eyes and clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission
vehicle. Automatic transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission may cause transmission damage.

•The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in
the fuel system. This is normal and should stop after a short period of
time.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
system to help reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from the
exhaust of the diesel engine. The system automatically injects diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system to enable proper SCR
function.
Importance of maintaining the DEF level
In order for the SCR system to operate properly, the DEF must be
maintained. Generally, the DEF tank should be filled before the DEF
gauge in the instrument cluster reached the first low level warning (refer
toDEF warning messages and vehicle operations).
The engine control unit will monitor the amount of fluid available in the
DEF tank. Failure to maintain an adequate amount of DEF in the system
will generate warning messages that appear in the instrument cluster
message center and, unless the DEF tank is refilled, will lead to a forced
reduction of engine operations.
DEF warning messages and vehicle operations
Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF gauge located in the instrument
cluster. The low level warning symbols (see chart) are illuminated if the
DEF gauge level drops below 0.5 gallon (1.9L) in the 5 gallon (19.0L)
DEF tank or 1 gallon (3.8L) in the 9 gallon (34.0L) DEF tank.
Upon filling the DEF tank after a low level warning, normal operation will
resume when the vehicle is restarted.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), as part of
the after-treatment exhaust system, to trap soot and other large particles
produced by the engine combustion process. The soot that accumulates
in the filter must be periodically reduced to ash to prevent excessive
exhaust restriction. The soot reduction process, also known as “filter
regeneration,” is generally performed automatically by your engine and
after-treatment system.
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around, or attempt to repair,
any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care
when working around the diesel particulate filter. The DPF heats up to
a high temperature after only a short period of engine operation, and
can remain hot even after the engine is turned off. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Diesel particulate filter regeneration
Under most operating conditions, DPF regeneration will be transparent
to the operator. A small increase in engine/turbo sound-level is normal
during filter regeneration. If, however, your engine is operated for
extended periods of time under one of the following conditions, operator
assistance may be required to facilitate the filter regeneration process:
•Vehicle is operated in stop-and-go traffic and/or maintains low speeds
as in a city/delivery driving
•Engine is started and shut-off frequently
•Vehicle payload is relatively light
•Vehicle is regularly operated in cold ambient temperatures (i.e. below
0°F [-18°C])
